No, I haven't gone on vacation. Or fallen off the face of the earth. Life's been a bit crazy and there hasn't been much creating going on here. It's also been VERY hot here. I'm talking 112* hot. Luckily, it's cooled off a bit and was only about 95* today.
I did manage one finished object recently.
I originally pieced the triangles to be part of a handbag, but didn't like the way they looked. Some of the fabrics were scraps from a quilt I made for a friend's daughter. she recently had a birthday and I wanted to make a little gift for her. So, after some inspiration from Sarah, I made my first bunting.
Other than that, there's been a lot of jigsaw puzzling, fingerpainting, fort building, DVD watching and other assorted kid friendly activities going on. Oh, and I took Nathan bowling yesterday for the first time. I did take a couple photos, so maybe I'll have them loaded and ready to go tomorrow.
Hope you're all enjoying your summer and staying cool!

Love the bunting! I have thought of making one but need to find a good tutorial. I saw Sarah's too and loved hers too.
I'm ready to swap when you are. Ya wanna visit my website and tell me what scents sound best to you??
What a great bunting! I just finished making some buntings too - I should post them.
And I lived in the Sacramento during the 16 day heat wave last year - can you say over 105 for 16 days? I feel your pain! We have moved on to a cooler locale, butI know what that heat can feel like.
Oooh, I love the color combination. Did you also post about the quilt these scraps came from? Maybe I should look around. I'd love to see it.
They look great as a bunting!
Your bunting came out adorable!
