Last weekend we got to spend some time at the river soaking up some sun. Wyatt was still at camp so he didn't get to join us but we still had a great time!

If you try either of these I'd love to hear about how it all came out!
New American Jane charm packs. To be honest, I haven't loved the last few collections she has put out but this one is awesome!! I am so glad to see a return to the cute collections of fabric that she designs.
Kate Spain's 12 Days of Christmas is new too. I usually don't lean too far towards the funky Christmas fabrics but this one has a special heir about it. I've got the jelly rolls and the quilt kit for sale.
Here are a couple updated garden shots.We had the hardest time with the garden this year thanks to the rain and cold that stayed until June! My onions had blight....in May. I replanted my pole beans about 5 times. Really. I had a terrible battle with slugs this year and they won time after time. The slugs are finally gone and my poor pole beans are just starting to climb. I'll be lucky if I see beans before the cooler weather sets in. Maybe our growing season will get slightly extended since it started so late.
Mason has been enjoying the swing.
And Timber is such a good little helper with anything that needs done outside (and in!)
Wyatt's back from Vertical Life camp and he's been busy building a go-cart!
Gavin is busy with work and the pig pen (our pigs will be here in 2 weeks,) Layton has been keeping himself busy with his trains and the garden hose, and we've been hitting the river as much as possible!
Well, that's about it here. I love summer! How's yours going?
