Summer Sewing

Mostly pictures this time.
Since I didn't post much during the summer, thought I would catch you up on my sewing.
Some of these were taken at Strawberry Patches because I would forget to get pictures before I took them in.

Purses

Purses

and more purses

I may have shown this already, but just in case...

All made from patterns and fabric from Strawberry Patches

I showed you this fabric with things from England on it.
I made a couple of bibs out of the scraps, but forgot to get pictures.
Maybe later

A vest and long tie from the ones I make for Four Tiny Cousin

Vest and Bow Tie

Just a stack of finished projects ready to take to Four Tiny Cousin.
I do other things like shorts, pants, diaper covers and suspenders.
Thought I would count up how many I have made since May.
167 Bow Ties
59 Long Ties
63 Vests
61 Shorts/pants
7 Diaper Covers
14 Suspenders

This is an infinity scarf we made at Bernina Club. Suzanne so gracious as always gave us the fabric and pattern. I love mine. I wear a lot of denim so it dresses up a white T and capris.

My June Mug Rug
(July and August you might ask? I'm a little behind)

 Drapes made for a friend.

More drapes

 Pillows for the same room

Ditto

Valances with Roman Shades for another friend.

 Ditto

Just a little change of pace.
I had a helper this morning making Brownies.
She is licking  looking the bowl

Gonna get every drop.

Watching a little Curious George.

 No not done yet.

Some serious scraping.

 There...Got it all!!!

Now...see why I haven't had much posting time?

Saying Goodbye....

is never easy. Our oldest grandson left today for college and last night we went to Tehachapi to tell him goodbye.  It wasn't easy for me. I thought it would be and promised not to cry...but just couldn't help myself. 

Maybe it will be easier with the other nine, but this one was not.

He is just a "gentle giant" of a boy man.He gives the best "bear" hugs ever. He called last week and wanted to come spend the night...one more time. We had such a good time talking about his future and memories of times he had spent with us. 

Our grandson, Cade went with us to say goodbye.

Kyle is 6'4". Makes my 5' 5"(okay 5"4" now)  seem so short..

Also got a sweet picture of Kyle's sister Madi and her Papaw...my ever so handsome Mr. SS

The good news is that Kyle is going to college on the Central California Coast in San Luis Obispo, which just happens to be close to our very favorite places on the beach to visit.

So we may just get need to visit often.

(Sorry for the lousy picture quality)

Until next time, when I promise to show you lots of the sewing I did this summer...

as always.

God is Good!!

Life is Good!!
