Off to the Testers!

My next pattern, "Carolyn's Pinafore" is off to the testers. I have learned so much as I have done the computer work for this. I am really happy with it so far and I think you will like it, too! Here's a more casual version that I made to photograph for directions:

It can be smocked or unsmocked and has many options for trim and ties. I can't commit to a release date, because "life gets in the way!" but it's in the works.

The chicks moved into Hen Heaven today when we returned home from our vacation at the Beach!!

I've been working on the Pinafore pattern and I'm planning some fun give-aways and sew-alongs once I get unpacked and organized.

 

At the Beach

We are spending 4th of July at the beach. We have been having lots of fun...

this was our view of the harbor at dinner tonight.

We love zipping around in go-carts!

I like seeing the blue, pink, purple, and white hydrangeas.

We played mini-golf.

The little boys swim in the backyard and we've also been swimming at the Y pool.
Tomorrow will be the annual parade, during which I can remind Katie again about the year there were unicorns in the parade and how she said, "Mommy, I know they're real. They have a real corn." The little boys will collect candy and then we'll eat lobster and steak.
Hope you have a wonderful 4th of July in the Greatest Country on Earth! God Bless the USA!!
