Back from a Much Needed Vacation

I bet you thought I disappeared, huh? Actually, I did for a while. Nick and I have been super busy around the house, his parents were here for a week and will be back for another visit soon. We used their arrival as an excuse to get some projects done around the house, so we were very busy in April and May (I'll share some pictures soon).

We went on a gorgeous day trip through the Cascades when Nick's parents were here, this is just one of my photos.

Last night we got back from a 10 day trip to California. We spent some time with our friends who let us get married at their house a couple years ago. We went on a great hike while we were there.

 

 The weather was a little hot for my taste (that's easy to do), but it was a beautiful day.

Next we headed down to the OC and, of course, went to Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure.  I think of Disneyland as my home, so it was great fun to visit.

This is my favorite body of water at the resort. It always looks so refreshing!

It was nice to get away for a while but I'm so glad to be back! Sorry about the blog break, I didn't mean to be gone for a whole month. 

A Weekend in Seattle

Well, it was a quick weekend, but nice just the same. Nick and I looked at about 6 houses and saw a few more we liked. It was fun and it even snowed for us! We're really glad we decided to make the trip, we definitely accomplished some things. The only downside is that I didn't take a single photo! Can you believe that? haha

Don't worry, I may not have taken any pictures, but I brought home a couple new friends.

There's a great shop in the Seattle airport called Fireworks. They've got a little of everything so I enjoy a good browse each time we pass through (here's what I got last time). This weekend I found this adorable bunny. How could I resist a bunny in a striped cardigan? I'll be giving him away as a gift at some point.


I also brought home a little sock monkey. He's got somewhat angry eyes, but I love his striped appendages. He's got magnets in his hands & feet too. I think he'll enjoy hanging in my sewing room.

We were only there for two days but we packed a lot in. I have to thank Jenn for the burgers & cupcakes. We had such a yummy time!! See you soon. :)

Now I must get back to work. I need to get some new monkeys made for the shop.
