Hi! We had a great weekend up in Maine this very lonnnnng weekend. I'll see about updating the family blog soon with pictures and maybe some video. ^_^

In the meantime....I present the flora and fauna of Maine.


....Hens & Chicks.......



...lupine.....



...and roses...




Maine was gorgeous. Surprisingly is was not cooler up there. : P You would think 8 hours north would mean a temperature drop! Now it's a scramble to get ready for the next long weekend.... :sigh: :) Love it.

Obviously pictures of the rug I mentioned in the previous post!

We're headed to Maine soon, and I need to get all my other projects prepared (cut and machined) so I can fill the hours of drive time with hand sewing. ^_^ Looking forward to meet new and old friends this weekend. Should be exciting!

From the sewing desk,

A Cheerful flower!



Oh, you didn't know I only had half a head? : P



The sun is gorgeous these days...but maybe some sunscreen wouldn't be such a bad idea. (The color background = awesome, the shadow = amateur!)

Hope everyone a nice weekend. :) Right before the weekend I FINALLY finished my first braided t-shirt rug. It's in the mail headed to an undisclosed location. ; ) Pics to follow this week I think....I started a new rug promptly. It's orange, aqua, lime green and pink and variants on those colors. I think Hannah is going to get this one since it fits in my room like a sore thumb. ;) It's so much more fun to make them for other people anyway. We sang Saturday, visited people Sunday and today I think we're going blueberry picking. ^_^ And, for the record I have a crazy urge to go on a long bike ride but 97+ f might not be the best weather for it.... :(

Isn't this amazing?
