Still recovering from vacation

Well, either I picked up a bug while in Florida, or maybe allergies are bothering me or I'm just exhausted.  I think it's one of those.
Anyhoo, I'm hoping that I feel better today.  I'm plugging on anyway.

I've started working on some Christmas things for my shop - mostly because I'm thinking about doing a local arts and crafts show in July that is a 'Christmas in July' show.  I've almost gotten myself talked into it.  It's indoors at a great location but it's only been going on for about 3 years so I don't think the crowd will be as big as I'd like it to be.  So, it's something to think about.

This is the Christmas apron that I listed yesterday - made with Moda fabric.

I have tons of ideas for pincushion ornaments and I need to get off the computer and start working on them :)

Here are some more pics of our Disney World trip.

I'm back!

You may or may not have noticed that I haven't made a blog post in a while and my etsy shop has been on vacation mode.
That's because I've been on vacation! :)

We went, once again, to the happiest place on earth - which is my husband's favorite place to go.

He planned this trip for over a year and is very disappointed that it's over.
He coincided it with the last weekend of Star Wars Weekend at Hollywood Studios.  They have about 3 (I think) Star Wars weekends every year and they are very popular.  My husband and son are both big Star Wars fans, so it was great.  I'm not much of a fan having not actually seen any of the movies all the way through.  But I do have a general idea of what they're about. 

Anyhoo, I'm making this a short post but thought I'd add in some pics.  I didn't take many this time but the ones I did take turned out pretty good.  I have more pics that I'll force on you on a later post :)

Awww..  Isn't that sweet?  My son was so disgusted that we made him take this pic.

The National Mall

I swear I only have one more day after today when I'm going to show vacation pics.

Today's pics are all of the National Mall.

The Washington Monument taken from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.  You can see the Capitol right behind the Washington Monument.  It was raining.  It started raining just as we got to the Lincoln Memorial so we just stayed there for about an hour until it was all rained out.  It cooled things down nicely.

Part of the Korean War Memorial.  I thought this memorial was very poignant.  There are full size soldiers with all their gear on including rain coats, walking as they would during the war.  It made me cry.

In this shot, we are actually up inside the TOP of the Washington Monument and this is a shot of the White House and Eclipse.

Also inside the Washington Monument, you can see the World War 2 Memorial, the Reflecting Pool and the Lincoln Monument in the back.

Next time, cupcakes!

Where was I last week?

Where was I last week while my etsy shops were all closed?

Here we were -

Family vacation in Washington DC!

Korean War Memorial

We had a good time and walked ALOT!!  My feet hurt.  So did my poor Ben's - he got 2 blisters.

Ben and David in front of the White House (our state rep arranged for us to have a tour - YAY!)

I'll be boring you to death with more vacation pictures in the days to come.
