Catching up & then leaving again

Life is just not going to slow down, is it? In the past few weeks we've been busy:



Going downtown to check out the new City Creek center mall.



Getting our little garden planted. Strawberries, basil, cilantro & mint - our summer staples!



Hanging out outside as much as we can in the nice weather we've been having!



Doing a little shopping - some fabric for a Tova tank, some cupcakes, and a darling teensy tiny pair of scissors.



Being adorable.



Eating our favorite burger & fries.



And of course sewing! I'm heading to the SNAP! Conference today thru Saturday night - well, actually it's happening only about 10 minutes away from my house, so I'll be coming home each night to sleep, but I couldn't resist sewing up a fun little pouch for business cards & chapstick & stuff. My friend Amber sells the CUTEST zip pouches & iPad cases, and I've been in love with the typewriters-on-text-fabric ones she does & I had to have one myself. I boxed the bottom corners of mine a little bit so it stands up by itself & used fusible fleece on the inside so it's nice & squishy. The yellow and aqua polka dot fabric is what's on the inside.

I'm super excited to attend SNAP! - I'll get to meet a bunch of blogger friends that I've been talking with on Twitter & Instagram for years now, I know that the SNAP planners have put together an amazing conference with great classes & events and I'm in definite need of a few kid free days to relax & get re-energized before the big push of the end of school, 4 races in 4 weekends straight, a quick family weekend trip & then Quilt Market! Super exciting stuff on the way - see you on Monday with a SNAP! recap!
