What I've been doing

I can tell you the last month has been crazy and the one thing I have not been doing is sewing.  I don't think I've even pulled my machine out in three or four weeks.  Soon, it will resurface I'm sure. 

In the mean time I've been swamped at work during the week and been traveling on the weekends.  I was out of town every weekend in August.

The first weekend we went up to Sacramento for a friends birthday.  He rented out a curling rink and we spent several hours learning to curl.  It was so much fun!  To my Canadian friends who have probably very familiar with this sport, I have now have a lot more respect for how hard it is!


The next weekend I was in Chicago for my sister's bachelorette party. She's not getting married until November, but the five girls in her bridal party all met up with her in Chicago for a very fun weekend. It was my first time there and the best part was the architectural river boat cruise we took. Chicago is such a beautiful city.


















The following weekend we went with our Church group to a cabin we rented at Donner Lake Tahoe. 

The weather was beautiful and the lake water was 71 degrees.  We spent a day kayaking and learning to stand-up paddle board.  We only fell in the lake a few times.  :-)

I'm so thankful that this weekend is a nice long weekend and I'll be home.  After the laundry and house cleaning is done, I just might get that sewing machine back out.

    Even without any sewing, it sounds like you have been having a great time! I love the picturs of Chicago, it is a beautiful city with a most unique skyline! I do miss it. I've been on the architectural cruise and it was so neat. If you ever go back, check out the ganster tour if they still do it. It is a fun one, too. I've always wondered how difficult curling is, sounds like something fun to learn. Your picture of the lake is gorgeous! Hope you get some sewing time in this weekend, enjoy.

    Sounds like a fun filled month. Glad you will have a long week end to catch up and maybe get to sew a bit.
