fa fa fa friiiiday.

i hate, absolutely hate myself for not skipping out on work and spending three days in portland with heather ross at this PNCA workshop. i mean seriously...why didn't i do this. i would have learned soooo much and would have had my very own fabric to take home.

meh

tonight i'm off to grand southern oregon where i will be going kayaking for the first time tomorrow. it took some serious convincing for me to agree to this..i have this fear of getting trapped under the kayak, my legs are stuck inside and getting swept away in the current just like that..
apparently though on this stretch of river, simply standing up can solve any near death expierences annnd 10 year old girls can do it- so i will be tightening up my life jacket right about now tomorrow and cracking open the first pbr of the day.

so pretty

have a happy weekend



a trip to a vineyard would be lovely

no good reason

no good reason at all as to why i chose to take such a vacation away from the blog world. several things were working against me, but still no excuse. i would still look at my favorite blogs daily and plot my return to blogging in my head. today is the day--all of my two friends who read this-- that i start my come back. one of my biggest time taker uppers lately has been my sewing machine, which goes down in the books as the best birthday/christmas present ever. a snazzy singer with such easy functions and about 30 different stitches, i love it.

anywho. a while back i started making place mats and napkins and such. these little ones are my latest for a little girl named scarlett. such an adorable girl, with such an adorable name deserves to wipe her hands with such adorable napkins.
