Summer

Hello friends and family! As is now evident, I am no good at summer blog updates, summer sewing or summer anything-that-takes-time-away-from-summer things.  I do apologize!   The Hubs works evenings most of the year, but in summer he works days, so we've just really been enjoying our family time while it lasts.  I've got a slew of crafty things on the horizon, but for now I'm making sure I soak up this time with Emmy...  It's been an awesome summer so far. :)   Hope yall are having a good one too! 

Testing the waters with Grampy

Yes, that IS a Coors Light cowboy hat, why?

First braids!  SO sweet!  :D

Playing with fancycamera off the back deck of the beach house...

Collecting rocks...

Score.

Helping Papa build Stonehenge...

Beach bath! (aka token funny bath picture to show her boyfriends) 

Rainbowy goodness...

Ahh... want to go back!

  

  

This was Jonas's first stay at a beach house, if that wasn't already made clear by this photo.  lol


 Also, awesome Kim added a spot to the side of the blog for things 'in the works'... I think it'll help me stay focused!  Keep a look out there for upcoming projects and whatnot.    Enjoy the rest of your summer everyone! 

Been at the beach!

 

Back to craftiness soon!  :D

 

I have upholstered my daughter.

Doesn't she look like a 1970's settee?

I'm glad I ultimately opted against the protective plastic though.  :D

Anyhow!  Here's another vintage sunsuit from the coleccion!

It was 90+ degrees out... She was in no mood for a photo shoot.



No.  Mood.



Here's the pattern!  It's from 1977 - fitting :)



I sewed View 1, sans pockets, and I went with grosgrain ribbon for the halter instead of self-fabric.  I wanted a really flowy, exaggerated bow in the back, as per usual, and I thought ribbon would work better for that.  Score.

Trying to pick which rock to eat...



That one, I guess.  :P





Weeds almost the height of baby = fail.





A SUDDEN HIGH-SPEED CHASE!!



Weapons!



"Emmy, please don't off the puppy..." = ^^ this face.



Ready!..... Aim!.........



"Aw, c'mon you guys..."



 :D
