This week was spent at camp, so I didn't get anything done, that I wanted. As usual, I spent the time walking and at the beach when we could. Once I got home and got things unpacked and done, I crashed. Perfect time to relax and start on my quilt, so that is what I was working on, until the new stitchery came out. I started that yesterday, since it is the perfect design for a gift box going out this month.
This is what I have been doing on the wheelchair quilt. I am hand stitching with pearl cotton the design stands out. I am doing stars on some blocks and a basic X and triangles in the star blocks. I find it works up fast and relaxing while I watch tv.
At camp we spent time walking at the lighthouse area. Views of the ocean from all sides and we got to watch a few surfers from the beach.
On the weekend, the kids came down for dinner and time at the beach. The boys had fun playing, while mom and dad went treasure hunting. It is always nice to go to the beach after dinner when the crowds are gone and we can watch the sunset.
Going to the beach after hours is also a good time to find goodies on the beach. Some things were dropped and forgotten and others were just left from vacationers who don't want to take things home.
Lots of beach toys for the boys to play with and so many extras, that I will give away a pile to our local buy nothing group.
And I was quite surprised that people left boards behind. These are for skimming at the ocean's edge, the boys will love playing on these.
And sadly the summer days are gone and school has started, but we still have nice weather, so lots of fun adventures with the boys on the weekends. I can't believe that Nick is in fourth and Alex is starting first grade, they grow up so fast.
I hope everyone had a good week and enjoy their holiday weekend. We might have rain coming in but I still need rest time, I always overdo it and need time to recover, which means more time to work on my stitching.

It sounds like full and busy days of the best kind....and I always welcome the rain to give me a chance to wind down. There's always so much outdoor work and when it rains, it gives me a chance to catch up on things needing done inside and maybe play a bit. Your quilt is coming along nicely...wow, that's a lot of hand stitching! You call it a "wheelchair quilt." Is it just a smaller size quilt for someone in a wheelchair? Or is it some special design/shape? My mom is in a wheelchair and is always cold, so I am just curious. Yes, those boys are growing up quickly...they look so grown-up in their first day photos. Adorable. Enjoy your weekend and hope you get a lot of crafting in. ~Robin~
I can't believe the grades the boys are in!!! Time is flying quickly.
