today emily headed off to her first day of summer camp...wearing the shirt i "stole" as a teenager from camp yallani when i was a counselor (to explain: extra t-shirts were stored up in the attic of the camp yallani lodge and so years and years of left over shirts were just sitting around. my fellow counselors and i helped ourselves to one from each year for our future kids. i was thrilled to find several in good condition stored in the garage and emily wears them regularly...i love the retro illustrations)
she picked this hat because it reminded her of "camp fire"...um....not the same kind of fire but too cute to say no to.
and something i looked forward to doing all weekend (i did a little at the cabin, but just a bit) was a marathon day of owl making. i am trying to stick to themes but i find myself all over the place with my combinations. i need 6 of each theme that can be sold as a unit, but after about three or four, i find myself changing colors and combos. maybe it is just that right side of the brain taking over? not sure how it happens but when i start counting them up i realize my blue/brown theme has turned to pink/blue/brown and the bright pinks have gone orange or green or brown. i guess i am having way too much fun with this, need to buckle down!

Your website is hilarious! I love seeing how creative and crafty you are! I am envious of all you've done! I am left-handed and was supposed to be artsy - but for some reason I don't have that gene - or maybe it's hidden deep down and you'll bring it out of me!
Look forward to the paperwork and I'll talk to you soon, Kathleen
man that is a lot of sewing you lucky gal!! Can't wait to see some of those owls complete. i also get carried away in the land of fabric. It can be overwhelming and then i end up using a very simple plain linen to tone it all down.
