Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

All of us at Creatively Serene Congo have been having a great time preparing for our July "Farmer's Market" theme. All sorts of farm-themed goodies will be ripe for the picking at 4:00 p.m. EDT today, Monday July 7th.  I was very excited to find this adorable chicken/egg/rooster print at Jo-Ann's and I turned it into two fun toddler girls' sets.

Ending it on a sweet note!

This has been such a fun project for me. I know I will really enjoy looking back on these pics and remembering the little details of this summer. I hope you've enjoyed my photos too. If you want to review all 10 of them, just head over to my "Summer in Ten" category. Thank you to all of you who played along! I've really enjoyed seeing what summer means to you.

Back to the sewing chatter tomorrow! :) I will have a great tutorial for you later this week. Thanks for reading!

13 Years Ago

Happy Anavirsariey

13 years ago, mere babes at the age of 23, we were fresh out of college with not a clue what life was all about.

13 years later, look at all we've built together: a home, careers, plans and perspective. And three kids who do cute things like making earnest misspellings on heartfelt greeting cards.

"Anniversary" is hard to spell, and marriage can be hard work. Thanks for making it easy. I love you, B! Thanks for being my best friend.

{Yes. It is a little crooked. However, the photographer was also flying the kite.}

Here comes the sun!

(Summer in Ten returns Monday.)

This week I've sewn through a couple yards of this beautiful, sunshine-y yellow organic floral print called "Surrender" from Harmony Art. I'm so pleased with how it sews up, and working with these cheerful colors puts me in a great mood.

First up, a baby dress for a really special collab at Necessitae. More about that in a few days!

Next, I made this sleeveless top and matching shorts for my daughter's summer wardrobe.

Then I made two blankets. One of these is going to Twinkle Twinkle; the other one was supposed to go to Etsy, and still might, but my daughter is trying to claim it. Hm, maybe I have enough left to make a third one.

And then, since I had yellow in the machines, I finally got around to finishing up this tee-shirt to go with these boardshorts I made for my little guy. If you like this set, there is a similar one here.

Hope it's sunny where you are today!
