So I am officially hooked on fabric right now. You can get all kinds of fabric in beautiful prints and colors. For my birthday, my mother-in-law, got me a gift certificate to Connecting Threads. They sell sewing things, books and their very own fabric. So I bought some stuff in order to make at least 2 quilts (I think!). The package arrived today and what fun! I think I might have a serious problem if I like receiving fabric in the mail so much. 🙂

Labor Day Weekend
We have spent much of this weekend just hanging out and relaxing. Mike’s original plan for this weekend was to get many projects done around the house. That didn’t happen but we did get the dry wall fixed in the rooms that we ripped off the chair rail. We realized that we are not good at patching dry wall so in came the experts. For a little bit of money they mudded our dry wall and it looks as good as new again! So no exciting news from the Camp front. But here is a picture of the regal and …
Day at the Lake
Today we headed out to Jordan Lake to relax and have lunch with some friends. A bit warmer than the rest of the week has been but still a great day to be outside. We packed a picnic lunch and spent time eating and playing in the water. I got to play with my camera a bit so here are some pictures from our afternoon outing.
1st day of September
What a beautiful morning! After a very dreary day yesterday we awoke to a beautiful, crisp and fall-like morning. I wish that I could bottle this weather and save it for a rainy day. 🙂 I told Mike that it felt like we were back in Ireland. Everything is still damp, there is a strong breeze (like you would be near the ocean) and a slight chill in the air. Makes me want to jump on a plane and head back over there! Maybe another trip to that part of the world needs to be planned…. 🙂 But for now, …
What is up with the weather??
So, remember how a few days I posted the pictures of our fogged up windows and talked about how humid and gross it was? That is how the weather has been for weeks. What do we wake up to today? 68 degrees and rainy. Crazy weather.
Happy Birthday to Me!
I am now officially 25! 🙂 Happy Birthday to me!
Office Update
Our house is just one big project that is never finished! Recently, we have gotten a few things up and done in the office. This room has come a long way from when we moved in 2 1/2 years ago! There are still a few things missing – curtains, a rug, the wainscoting and new floors (wish!). But we’ve gotten some things up so I thought it was time for a picture update! Shelves! Both diplomas finally displayed!
One year later….almost!
I can’t believe that it has almost been a year since we traveled to Ireland! We have so many good memories of that trip and still bring them up like they just happened last week. We also had a TON of great pictures. I, unfortunately, never got around to making some sort of electronic scrapbook but last night I finally finished the actual scrapbook! You will have to come visit me (hint, hint!) to see all the pages but here is a sneak peak of the cover. I am so glad I got it done before the year mark came …
Yucky Day
Today was so humid it was oppressive. Like you started dripping sweat as soon as you stepped outside. We got a strong but brief thunderstorm this afternoon and it made it worse. There is now more water outside that all of our windows have fogged up from the moisture. It is just gross! Air conditioning is definitely getting a workout today!
TV Fixed!
Unlike most people, Mike & I do not have cable TV. We don’t want to pay for it every month and we fear that we will become sloths if we had it to watch. However, our old rabbit ears just weren’t cutting it. After the digital switch (for whatever reason) we lost ABC and PBS – they just would not come in. So instead of going and buying a fancy antenna Mike researched how to build an antenna that would do just a good of job if not better. Tonight he got it done and we are back in business! …
