Blues

This week's color has been blue.  The sky has been a gorgeous blue all week long, with daytime temps in the 80's and cooling down to the 40's at night.  Around all the mouldings in the house is blue tape, waiting for another coat of paint to be put on.  Even in my sewing room I saw blue as the two projects I did were mainly with blues.  The one thing that was not blue, however, was my mood.  It was and continues to be sunny!

My great niece Madelynn will be turning 5 in just a few weeks. She is having a 'BRAVE' party (the movie) and so I just "had" to find some fabric with that theme. The princess in BRAVE is Merida. After searching fabric sites, Etsy and eBay I found a really great deal (eBay) on this fabric. Of course it had to be embellished, after all Merida is a princess.  I think she will enjoy her apron.

With the cleaning and packing and moving and setting up house I was not sure I could keep on track with my monthly Alpha-Dorable 12x12, but with just a day to go in the month I got it finished. I titled it 'R&R', as that is just what I feel I need after this last month, and what better place to get it than at the beach....

... rest and relaxation.  The photo is one I took several years ago at Gleneden Beach in Oregon. It was where my Aqua Nut group would go twice a year for our beach getaways. Whether I can go there in person or if I just escape there in my thoughts, this picture takes me to that place.

This weekend DH is working on a project he has to do for a potential job... one that sounds really interesting to him and would take us closer to where our kids are. Sounds like a win/win.  He has an interview next Friday with them, so prayers are greatly appreciated.
