We have been busy with summer adventures lately and I haven't had much time to craft or post to my blog. Mostly we have been going to the pool, park, library, beach and visiting with cousins and friends. Yesterday we went to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo. We had a fun time, the weather was overcast which was perfect and not too hot. They just opened their brand new "Thomas Town" and it was a big hit with Johnnie and his 4 year old cousin. We rode the train several times. We got to see some beautiful animals like Shamu the Whale, and also lions, tigers, giraffes and penguins. We ate some very overpriced ice cream and drank expensive bottled water. A good time was had by all!
I am working on a table runner for myself, it's coming along slowly but surely. I tried to take some sneak preview photos tonight but I was having trouble with the flash on my husband's fancy camera so I finally gave up. I'd like to make a couple of these fold up crayon pouches too, but I need to go pick up some felt.
I also stumbled upon this tutorial to make a disappearing 9 patch. I love the look of this I might try this out soon.

Hi!
I love the header of your blog- you have a photo of an iron that I own- the red one! My gran had it in the toy box at the farm all the years I was a little girl. When she passed away 3 years ago, it was one of three toys(an iron, a telephone and a cash register) that I was given from the farm. The iron really works although the cord is not in the best of shape. We played for hours with the toys at my gran's and it makes me smile every time I go up to my sewing room. She also had some wooden spools that I have sitting in a bowl on my sewing table. You could have taken a picture of those same things in my sewing room. Thanks for the smile.
