Just enjoyed a great vacation at the beach. The grandkids and I had a fun time running in the waves, digging in the sand and swimming in the pool. Now I need a week to recover!
I'm finishing the diaper bag this week - waiting on the monograming. My daughter found me more embroidered pillowcases and I can hardly wait to sew them into some beautiful little dresses.
I hope everyone is having a memorable summer and staying cool.

A few quiet days....

I have actually had some quiet days. I am using them to catch up on house work (no fun) and work on new projects. I will post pictures of the finished products. It seems so strange to have time to think on what I would like to do next. I know this too will pass. I have a diaper bag to make and food for a graduation party to prepare. Looking forward to our week at the Fernandina Beach in June - waves, wind, waves and all my children and grandchildren. Who could ask for more?!

spring fever

April definitely brought showers - two whole days of rain , about 9 inches. This however allowed some time for sewing but not before celebrating my birthday! My wonderful children surprised me with lunch, family and friends - what a lovely time.
My niece, Becka, will be showcasing my projects tomorrow at our county's "Market Day". It's a new venue for selling crafts, re-sale and fundraising. We hope there will be a large turnout especially after all the rain - the weather forecast is for "Sun".
I've had fun making bibs - my first endeavour. These are one of a kind - I won't replicate any of the cloth ones.
The pink tote is in honor of the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life. We plan to raffle it off to raise money for our Relay.
May your April showers bring you May Flowers. dp

Too many irons in the fire...

Yes,it has been too long since I've posted! My title says it all - I became a consultant for Entertaining at Home (aka Taste of Home Entertaining) which I have enjoyed immensely, while continuing to do all my other projects - taking care of my husband, spending time with my children and grandchildren, helping at Bella LaRue Salon, dealing with my mother-in-law's cancer and death along with other miscellaneous items. Finally, Spring has arrived and I want to get back on track with Bella Bags. I will update soon with pictures of new creations.
