Sneak Peeks before I leave for a week

I thought I would share some quick photos of what I have been working on this week. I fell in LOVEwith the Smurfs when I was a little girl and I am thrilled to be able to share that love with my own children ~ especially my daughter, Katie Lou! She squealed with delight when I showed her what I was sewing and is very excited to model these dresses that Karen & I are working on and I thought you might like a little teaser too.....

Now that I have shared I just want to say why I will be MIA over the next 8 days as my family and I will be heading North to Sister Lakes, Michigan for a much needed rest! We are looking forward to spending long lazy days at the beach building sand castles, swimming out to the raft and fishing in the evenings. We love cooking out, roasting marshmallows and of course making YUMMY Smores too! The kids are super excited to get up to the Lake! I am looking forward to reliving my childhood memories of spending my summers in this quaint little town that time has forgotten with my husband and children. I have promised to leave the sewing machines at home ~ however I am sneaking my jewelry making supplies and laptop up there just incase we get a rainy day....otherwise it will be constant family fun for all of us!!!
