America Road Trip

Hubby and I are embarking on a wonderful wonderful, and maybe crazy, rad trip to the Midwest.

We are starting out from Arizona..and heading to his home state of Indiana.

Yep...3,000 + miles round trip!

Even when I say that i get a big ole lump in my throat.

But I am so excited!!

I have not been east of New Mexico.

I am super super excited.

Excited to see others states, and just enjoy my time with hubby.

I am taking along lots of hand sewing to keep my hands busy on the long trip!!

Where have I been

It seems like time just marches on..and I am not marching with it.

Or atleast not realizing how much

time has went buy.

Now that summer is over...and the busy craft season for me is here..

I get lost in my work and not on my blog as much.

I seem to be on a red homespun,lace,crochet flower kick as of late.

I really love these colors together.

What are you up to? How's things going in your life?

August Already

Seems like it was just June..No???

I am happy summer is moving along.

In Arizona was have not had much rain this summer and we usually

get some great monsoon storms.

Just ain't happening! 

I love rain..so wish we had more of it. But that is what it is when living in the desert.

Ive been able to add a few new things to my etsy shop.

Fall stuff is my favorite to create!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Seems Like Life...

If you had to fill in the ... ( dot dot dot) on my title post what would yours say?

Does 1 things come to your mind?

or does many many things race past.

For me...Seems Like Life is going by fast.

I can not believe July is almost over. 

Which for me is ok because Arizona summers are not my favorite.

Maybe it is because I am a crafter and I have to keep ahead of the seasons.

I am usually making losts of fall things and yes even snowman in July.

Yes slooooow down time...

Or is it me that should sloooow down.

I miss being so active in blogland.

I do read blogs all the time.

I am bad about commenting but please know that I am reading.

Prayers to those that need them.
