Around Here...

Happy Monday friends! I hope you are having a great start of the week. Around here things have been very busy and chaotic. So sewing has been scarce. My work has kept me very busy and away from my sewing machine. But on the plus side, the weather has been glorious. The wisteria vines in my little garden are laden with gorgeous purple blossoms and I just can't stop looking at them every chance I get. 

I hope things slow down soon and I can go back to creating and playing with fabric, but in the meantime I will enjoy the view.

Wishing you a beautiful week.

A dried sunflower we left out for the birds to eat the seeds. Just a little reminder that there is beauty everywhere. 

Wishing you a happy weekend!

Summer Moments

There are many things that I love about summer but my favorite part is the time we spend in the garden. Our doggies love exploring each corner of the garden and even "help" pick the vegetables. 

How about you, are you enjoying you summer?

Happy weekend!

My herb garden is coming back. Very soon I will have more mint that I would know what to do with it.

Hello Friends,

I had such a great time hosting the link up, specially seeing your moments that you shared. I want to thank you all for visiting my little blog and linking up during the short run of the link up. Thank you so much for your support I truly appreciate it. 

Spring is a time for new beginnings and I'm looking forward to see what the rest of 2014  will bring. Who knows they sky is the limit.

Happy Friday!

Bird watching... After a storm I went out to the garden and found a flock of these little guys feasting on the flower pods from the birch trees. It was such a joy to stand under the trees and watch them move from branch to branch and listen to their chirps. I hope they come back soon.

A Picture... a Moment

A corner in my sewing room. My happy place.

Over the past year I've been sharing with you a series of photos capturing a special moment in my life which I titled them A Picture... a Moment. Everyday is filled with special moments and I thought, why not make it into a weekly link up where we can share one special moment from our week. Plus it gives us another excuse to grab our cameras and practice our photography!

I hope you can join me next week, the link up starts next Friday February 7. Every week the link up will be open from Friday through Sunday.
