What??? Summer is half over!!!???!!!

We wait so long for summer and it goes by too fast.  Every year the same thing happens!!!!  Guess we should be used to it but after last winter I was hopeful summer would be never ending,  ha ha!!!

We have had a nice summer with a host of guests and more coming, fun events, days on the lake and river really can't beat it...as the saying goes Livin' the dream!!!!

I had nice surprise this summer, I had sent in a few of my upcycled creations to a magazine called  Belle Armoire.  It is a neat publication out of California with many sister magazines, I felt very fortunate to be selected with 3 of my items for 3 different articles.  One was on the tie necklaces, tie purses and jean beads.













The photos are great, they do a very nice presentation of the items.

This year we got a little fishing boat, Brandon named it Lil' Skiffy since it's a Carolina Skiff, it has been so much fun running around on the Osage River.  And now the challenge of placing the pics, last group did well but this one!!!  so we have miss Devin and Grandpa posing on the bow,  Lil' Skiffy in the driveway and Brandon taking Miss Devin for her first jet ski ride.





We are staying busy with various groups and clubs, Mom is going to be 93 next month and doing great!!!  We are off to Hot Springs for a few days for a much needed visit with friends.

I hope this finds everyone enjoying their summer!!1

More upcycling projects in the works, lots of alterations and a few new scarves coming along.
