summer is here & I am back

That was a much unintended blogging break that I took! I think I am back though :) Summer has finally arrived and things are finally starting to settle into a bit of a routine or at least as routine as life is going to get anytime soon. My blogging break was quite a bit of fun though, packed with lots of stuff including in no particular order…

- Finishing decorating my studio, complete with curtains (I promise to post a bunch of photos of my finished studio soon - in fact I already have a post started already).

- Visiting with family

- Getting to be tourists in our own city

- Going whale watching (see above about being tourists :) and actually getting to see Orca whales…

- Taking a free motion quilting lesson & a quilt binding class. Both so much fun, although my free motion quilting could still use a bit more practice :)

- Renting 2 lenses from here to try both out for a week and taking a lot of photos.

- My 25th birthday last Friday!

I also worked on a bit of sewing during my blogging break, but other than the curtains I have only started projects and not finished anything. I have a lot of ideas right now though so I am hoping to finish some of those projects so I can start on new ones soon. (Now if only the linen I ordered over a month ago would actually arrive, that would help!)

Sounds like you’ve had a wonderful start of the summer. Your pictures are amazing. I’ve always wanted to go whale watching.

Glad to see you are back and I can’t wait to see your new studio.

Hi, I am glad you’re back and of course eagerly awaiting the pictures of your home and projects. I only just realised you have moved to Seattle. I will be in Seattle in a few weeks on my summer holiday. So any tips on the must-see touristy things and the best places to find fabrics are welcomed.
Greetings, M

Hi! I was getting a little worried about you, but I knew you were visiting with family. I’m glad you’ve been enjoying yourself. Hopefully summer will be back tomorrow. :-)
