More of the Beach

This time I think I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

The Beach in October


I love the beach in the fall.  The crowds are gone, along with the brutal summer heat.

It is usually still warm enough for wading around looking for minnows, hermit crabs, and other various sea creatures.

The adventurous types might even  take a splashy jog through the water.  Incase you're wondering, I'm not that brand of adventurous, something about the word "jog" just doesn't appeal to my adventure seeking (or any other) side.  

If you are hot natured, or under 12 years of age you might even swim in October at the beach or at least  have a seat and let the waters wash over your legs.  


 What is it about kids that makes them want to be covered in sand, or if that isn't available, plain ole dirt?  The grands couldn't get enough of it last week.





They had Gran cover them, they covered each other, and then some even covered themselves.  


There was always a hunt going on for some type of critter or treasure.  



Meanwhile, at the beach house there was lots of baby lovin' going on with sweet little baby girls everywhere!

Catching Up

 I'm back once again.  I'm becoming like Jack, the music plays, life goes on, and suddenly I pop back up and surprise you again.  My blogging has become consistently inconsistent.

I've done a bit of sewing through the summer, but I hardly have any pictures to show for it.  Here are a few of the projects I documented:

I've done a bit of sewing through the summer, but I hardly have any pictures to show for it.  I made a couple of aprons, 3 sunsuits from vintage patterns, a few little dresses, and one for myself, a couple of diaper bags, some bibs, hot pads, and these quick little market bags that I made from this tutorial.


I really need to get busy working on some things for Christmas.  I always have good intentions of handmade gifts, maybe this will be the year I follow through.
