and then...

one day we think we are going to die of heat and the next morning we wake up to this:
it's a pretty nice view off our deck. we'd be able to see mt. rainier if the trees weren't there. but then, the only way i've seen of getting rid of these trees is not very good and involves months of rebuilding your roof... i guess we will deal with it.

so here is my own version of a heat wave: a mini quilt. i bought a kit only a year (!) ago. remember how i decided to clean out some of my unfinished projects? i am so proud because one of my goals of the week was to finish an unfinished something. macy has been using it for her new 'the girls'(little dolls from the thrift store) all day. that's fine. it's the perfect size for her 'girls.'
another goal was to post something new on etsy. and lookie! i posted three things! i am so happy with these pictures! it was a hurried moment on our front porch rather than the normal place we go and yay for luck!
