V and Co. fat quarter shop giveaway

Not that we need a giveaway to get us to go over to Vanessa's blog. She is amazing!

Vanessa is holding a giveaway with the Fat Quarter Shop that I know many of my sewing friends will drool over like I am.

Go over to V and Co. and see how to enter.

outdoor monday ~ birthday

We had a birthday request of going to the beach and woke up to a gray overcast day. By 7:30 this morning the skies opened up and the rain was pouring down. I am so happy for my lawn and garden that we finally got some rain. But my little birthday girl looked like she was going to pour down tears and asked if we could still go to the beach. My boys didn't even wait for me to answer they piped in with "as long as there is no lightning and thunder." They know that you can't let some rain stop you from having some fun!

They started to dig.

And dig,

The digging started to take shape.

After a couple hours of digging, they made a canal connecting two coves.

After a little boy was stung my girls went looking for sea jellies to catch and throw back into the sea by the rocks. They got a couple stings themselves, but they said it really didn't hurt; at least not enough to stop them from having fun.

on my needles

I got some yummy new yarns from The Knitting Sisters the other day. One of the skeins that I got went almost instantly on my needles. This one is silk/merino extrafine wool from Manos del Uruguay a non-profit organization that helps bring rural women economic and social opportunities. I think I will be getting some more; it glides through my fingers and will keep the wearer quite warm this winter.

The hat and one of the fingerless gloves are finished and I have started on the other glove. My girlie is so use to me asking her to try things on that she didn't even need to stop her drawing to help me out.
