I'm back! Did you miss me?
I was away on a family vacation with no internet. Man, does it feel strange to break off from that connection...both good and bad.
And I think that's my general feel on family vacations...they're kind of a double edged-sword. On the one hand I love to spend the time with my kids creating memories away from the pressures of everyday. We get to do so many cool things, and their smiling faces are just the best. Then it comes time to pack. Ugh. And there are all the details of life away from the comfort of home, not to mention that exhaustion involved in taking two kids to the beach all day (actually they are quite good, but bathing them when you really just want to collapse after a long day is a pain).
Anyhoo, we've made the long drive home and I'm finally plugged in again. So just to say "hi" and tease you a bit, I thought I'd share these lovely threads that I bought to do some sewing with my Timber fabrics. So I guess they give you a clue on colors, although I must say, they don't look at all "rainbow-y" like this. Plus, these pix from a rainy, dreary day do not do them justice, but I'm too lazy to do another take.
So, I hope you don't get too attached to these and get disappointed when you see the real thing. I believe I'll be able to truly reveal the designs in a matter of weeks! I can't wait. Maybe I'll figure out some more acceptable peeks before then....hmmmm....

I have missed you! Welcome back! I took my kids to the beach today - I know what you mean. It's exhausting, but fun.
I really can't wait to see what you've come up with. I love the colors of the thread! I'm sure it will be lovely!
