Pretty pretty fabric and Pottery Barn!

So I spent the morning sewing, something I do not do on a regular basis. Like the last big project I did involved making a cape for my son for Halloween. That was like 20 years ago or so! Anyway, I made these pillows to go with my new bedroom quilt. I don't know if you can tell, but it is beautiful porcelin blue color that I just fell in love with at Pottery Barn. I then found this material that was just calling pick me, pick me! So I made these envelope style pillow cases. I also have a contrasting stripe material that goes with this material. It is also calling me to recover my window seat in the bathroom. Now if I could just get the painters here to tackle several rooms, I could get my new carpet and ceremic tile installed. Hard to complain too much when the painters are your brothers! Good things come to those who wait!

Sand on my floors.

Yes, we are back from the beach. I have managed to scrape together a small amount of sand from the trip to put on my kitchen floor for the next week or so. I will keep walking on it and scuffing it with my bare feet and then dream of being back at the beach. Then it will be time to come back to reality. I have only worked 5 days in the last 4 weeks and yes, it realize that is completely disgraceful. I also realize that you all are just jealous! But it is back to reality tomorrow. Unfortunately along with the sand, I brought a nasty bug back with me. Started with just a hoarse throat and it has now come full circle so that I coughing and bringing up some thick green yuck! I went to bed last night at 8:00 p.m. after driving the 14 hours to come home, and managed to drag myself out of bed at 8:00 a.m. Hopefully I am at the tailend of this bug because even though I have enjoyed the days off, the work is still being piled on my desk! Definately not what a GeeChee girl wants! Enjoy the pictures (thanks Bob!) as will I when my GeeChee heart needs a dose of beach!

Hearts!

Summer Fun!

Yes, it has been a while since I have posted, but you know how it is, life just gets in the way. I have been meaning to, planning to, hoping to but just never did add to this blog. But, I am at the beach now, so I have a moment and thought I would add a few pictures (thanks Bob!) It has been a great week here, so relaxing. I have done just about nothing all week but float in the pool on a noodle with my sister in law! What a great way to spend the week. I am however, in serious need of some serious beach time, so that is where I am headed next. A sand chair, a book and a lot of sunscreen makes for a great way to spend the morning! I even got a dose of my favorite Island yesterday and dinner at the Deli. Life does not get much sweeter than that!
