Fun weekend

It's a weekend full of so many activities, one of my favorite times of the year and so much good food to eat!
Lately, I crave some ice cream, a perfect time for a scoop of chocolate rocky road, my favorite.
I had a lovely time with family yesterday, seeing all the graduates graduate from college and seeing their joyous faces of finally finishing this part of their education and getting out of school.
Such an accomplishment for them. I wish them all success as they go out to the work force or to further their education.
I'm especially proud of my beautiful daughter and wonderful son in law for graduating!

Well, let me tell you what's new in my sewing room. I spent this last weekend making a cover for my Ipad. So many scraps, that I just had to make something with them again, and this cover came out so cute. It can also carry all the wires and things that come with it. What do you think?

This memorial day, lets remember those who have fallen, and those still serving. Thank you for your service to our country.
Hope you all have a fun filled weekend with family and friends. Keep looking up at the sky. KS

Joyful May!

Here I am again. Lots to do now a days, so many events going on around us. It's that time of year, when I love getting outside and doing things. Walking is my favorite thing to do, and popping into cute little shops around town is enjoyable.
The tea towels I started last month are now finished. I tend to take my time making things because I have so many things going on at the same time. Does anyone else do that too?
I have a quilt I'm finishing up very soon, more tea towels to embroider, some baby burp clothes to finish, and I just finished a new sewing machine cover for my daughter. It is my own design, and pattern. My daughter loves it and thinks it is so unique. I loved making it for her, and I'm so happy because she has caught the sewing bug, and she is making her first quilt! I'm her teacher, something I like doing.

Here is a look at the tea towels I just finished. They are so cute of a chubby chef, making his wonderful french delights. They will be for sale on my kimikistraw.etsy.com shop.

 And, I have to show you some of my beautiful flowers that I am blessed to have growing in my back yard. These are all blooming now so nicely but the strong winds make the petals fly with the wind sometimes. I got a few for a bouquet to place on my table, they make me happy!

I will stop now as I have to get going. I have chores to do, both here and outside so I wish you all a happy day and may our Heavenly Father bless you. I wish all moms a Happy Mother's Day on Sunday!
