happy pshew... I've been so busy trying hard to get all of my summer bucket list done and cram in crafting before school starts back up and I'm just beat most of the time that ... I haven't had a chance to blog about it.

to list

Outfit for Alex's first birthday... hullo hammer pants

Lotion bar:  equal parts beeswax, coconut oil, sweet almond oil and coco butter.  Stored on my awesome FL black bear paw imprint that Randall gave me.  Perfect for after washing hands.  Scented in the molds with "relaxation" and sweet orange e.o.

Shirt for myself... simplicity!

For G's birthday:  dress and new baby doll

Pajama pants for Owen

Pillowcase!  Owen... did this on his own.  Seriously did a fantastic job.  He thought it was the best craft project ever because it was so dangerous it made his stomach hurt (really... he couldn't finish one of his favorite dinners... pesto, chicken, peas pasta).  He did it though and its awesome!  I hovered but the fabric selection, ironing, sewing... all him.  He's now working on one for G's birthday.

In the garden:  happy chickens, finally integrated after a LONG quarantine period for social issues.  Starting with the white egg going clockwise:  5-toes, summer, blue, talulah, barbara... Goldie, we believe has just totally stopped laying... she';s the  loudest too... hmmm.  

Triamble squash was attacked, one of my three successful fruits. I was sure it was some huge hideous creature, but B thinks its probably the chickens.   Two more on the vines and maybe this one will ripen on the window sill... so mad at those birds though.
