Oh Sew Sweet Blog Hop

September is National Sewing Month and Moda is kicking it off with a fun designer blog hop. If you're a fabric addict, you might want to mark your calendar for this — there will be lots of fabric given away. For 10 days, you can hop all over the globe to visit the hometown of many Moda designers. They might even reveal a bit about their new lines too, so you probably won't want to miss it.

Savory Days

**Dusting off the ol' blog**

(cough, cough)

 Wha? It's almost September already? How'd that happen? Hope you have all had a wonderful summer and got to spend some time with family and friends. Maybe you even had time to breathe a little deeper and to savor all the ordinary and extraordinary moments that make life so beautiful. We have been trying to do just that, and as much as possible. Sometimes life requires you to shift perspectives unexpectedly and helps you to realize all that there is to be treasured. Like an early morning walk under the shining sun...

...sparkling dew on late-summer meadows...

...birds on a wire against a big, blue sky...

...reflections in streams...

...and impossibly beautiful flowers.

Something that i do not savor, and probably never will, is MOVING. But here we go again! The boxes are out and we're packing everything up. The wonderful news is that Pete and i found a house to make our home and are moving in this Saturday. It will be so nice to be settled at last...
