We just had a really nice trip to BC to visit my family. It was a last minute kind of trip and way too short,

I have some family coming back this way, so I'm quite excited about that.

I probably should be getting the house ready for them, but, I just really don't feel like it right now. It can wait! Priorities right?? Heehee.

Even though I've been gone I have managed to get a few things done. Yay!

 I finished one of my side coffee tables... 

 

I also prettied up an old dresser we got off of Kijiji...

Quite a long time ago, I was talking about painting our front door. I finally got around to doing it, and 

now I'm not sure what I think about the color  I picked. I've gotten mixed reviews about it.

What do you think?? 

And finally, a picture of the dress I made for Nadiya with the same pattern as her sisters.

I love it on her!

Yesterday we had a severe thunderstorm warning for where we live. It missed us but the sky was

looking pretty dark for awhile!

Summer holidays are here!!

Madison graduated from kindergarten on thursday, so our summer holidays are here!

That means 2 whole months of not having to wake Madison up for school. I think we will both enjoy that very much.

 

I have been sewing quite a bit lately. I finished 2 dresses for 2 of my nieces. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get a picture of them before they were picked up. I am hoping that my sister-in-law will get some nice pictures and pass them on. I also sewed myself a purse, and I sewed all three of my girls a new dress. I used a pattern that I found at Made.

 I don't have a picture of the one I made for N yet, but I absolutely love this dress. So easy and quick to make.
