Pictures from Sisters!!

Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show

Wow, I can't believe that July is almost coming to an end.  There are only a few months out of the year that we get warm sunny weather in Oregon and I have been trying to enjoy it.  I went to the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show in Sisters, Oregon with my mom earlier this month.   I have some great pictures, but they are on my mom's camera and she has not quite figured out how to email them to me :)  I will get some posted soon.  I saw a red and white Irish Chain quilt that has me even more inspired to make a quilt for Joe and I's bedroom.  I just haven't decided on what color of fabric to use.  My dad rode his motorcycle to meet us after the show and the three of us camped out at a nearby campground for the night.  I could definitely see myself living in Sisters.  I posted some pictures below of the town that I found until I can post my pictures.  Well I better head to bed because my 5:00am wake up call to take Sadie for a run is going to come very quickly.

The town has a cozy western feel.

Behind the homes are the Three Sisters Mountains.  I have hiked to the top of the South Sister twice now with my dad.

COFFEE

Check out this cute little towel that I made for a friend.  She is so giving and is always making crafts for all of her friends and family.  I hope she loves it!!

SUMMER

So I have successfully finished spring term of school so I have been having a little fun! 

I went on my first clamming trip at the coast with Joe.  I was able to find the clams on my own and dig them out of the sand with the clam gun. Joe was impressed with me!  

I started reading the book Twilight and have become obsessed with it.  I take it everywhere with me in case I get any free time to read. 

Tonight I am drinking a glass of wine watching Sex & the City while Carrie and Berger check out Prada.

Look at those hot boots!

Happy Mothers Day!

I may only be a mom to my dog Sadie, but I got spoiled today!  I woke up to my boyfriend Joe cooking breakfast for us.  Then I walked outside to two new hanging plants!!  Lucky me! 

The weather was so nice today that I decided to plant some more flowers.

This lavender smells amazing!

Sadie got me these roses, but I think here grandma was behind it  :)

Mason Jar Soap Dispenser

Back in February I was looking at one of my favorite blogs by Heather Bullard who works for the new magazine Flea Market Style.  She posted a blog on how to make Mason Jar soap dispensers.  She uses her's in her garden, but they would also look great in a kitchen or bathroom.  My boyfriend Joe and I decided these would make great Mother's Day gifts!  I really need to give most of the credit to Joe since he did most of the work making them and to my mom for providing all of the jars.
