Happy 4th of July....er.....6th of July!


On our way to camping over the 4th of July weekend, we drove past this cool barn...a reminder of the holiday we were celebrating! I hope everyone had a safe and fabulous 4th of July.
We dont celebrate the holiday in the traditional sense of BBQ's and fireworks, but instead with medieval dress, drumming, belly dancing, and lots of music! Stay tuned for some video of the fun :)

Glory and Goodies...


After a long weekend of camping, rain, music, rain, dancing, and more rain, we got home yesterday evening. I will be doing laundry for a week, but other than that we had a great time! Due to constant soaking, i didnt bring out my camera much this time around, though i did capture some fun video (which i will post soon), and this photo of Jordyn jammin by the fire. With fabulous company, you can have a great time under any circumstances...and that was definitely the case here :) It was, however, nice to sleep in a warm dry bed last night!

And look what was waiting in my mailbox when i got home! Marguerite over at Adventures of Quilting and Sailing sent me these lovely goodies. She had this great article about the book i received for my birthday, so she thought i might like it...but she included a few fun extras that were a nice surprise! Thank you Marguerite!!! Justin and Jordyn have already gobbled up most of the chocolate biscuits and im totally thrilled about the fairy fabric :) I love the postcard too, as Jane's blog and photography are favorites of mine. Quilters are the most generous people i know...Thank you thank you thank you!!!

I also signed up for another mini quilt swap on about.com, so i ordered this book thru amazon for ideas. I may not use it this time around, but the price was right, so im sure it will come in handy in the future. Besides, you can never have too many quilt books.
Cheers~

ALQS has safely arrived!


Hurrah!!! My quilt for Anne has finally arrived so i can post a picture of the label now :) She sent me a lovely email thanking me for the miniature quilt, and i am sooooo thrilled she liked it! (and that it arrived safely) You are welcome Anne...i enjoyed making it for you.

Well, as most of you know, we went camping over the 4th of July weekend with our SCA group. The event was a blast...the weather was perfect, the company was awesome, and we had a hafla in camp every night! A perfect weekend indeed! In fact, i was so relaxed, that i didnt even take many photos! Hard to believe, i know...but here are a couple just to give you a taste of our weekend. Hope yours was wonderful too!
