The Beach

Who would have thought that if there was some sun to be had in the gloomy depths of November, that it would be on the Oregon coast. We headed out to Cannon Beach for a last minute jolly.

Fall

It sure is beautiful this time of year. We went for a wander through our new neighborhood this afternoon to take in the unseasonably hot weather. It has been a glorious end to the summer with temperatures hitting 75 F today and it looks like staying the same all week. Lucky us.

Last dress of the summer

I started this Oliver and S Tea Dress a while back. It came to a halt when my machine refused to to saw button holes or anything other than a straight stitch. I have been promising myself that i will get it fixed when i have a little downtime in between projects. But they just keep coming. First it was the pirate vests, the ongoing mermaid costume and now, after moving, i have to re-hem all the curtains again. It seems as though there is never any downtime. It really doesn't look like my ole machine is going to get fixed anytime soon. So in a last ditched attempt to get some wear out of this cute little summer dress before the weather closes in or madam grows out of it, i opted instead for some pop snaps.

A Delia Playdate

We had lil Delia over for a playdate today so that Shannon could get a couple of peaceful hours to do some packing for their move. I have no idea how she has even managed to pack a single box with this lil one around. She sure is a whirlwind.
