house guests

This is the part of the summer I love, I have tons of house guests that include my sister, my nieces, my uncle and cousin with boyfriend, and my two big boys and sweet husband are arriving back home tomorrow!! yey!! can't wait! We all  live together like this for a few weeks in one big happy commune...not always so easy but luckily are neighbors are away this summer and we are allowed to use their house which makes life a lot easier and an extra place to run away too... I am stocking up on apple cakes and cookies,yummy quiches, cold soups and tons of fresh local Vermont corn and have been raiding the farmer markets this weekend,I especially LOVE the Burlington one on Saturday, if you are around you must visit it.

I will probably be a bit busy with this wonderful chaos for the next few weeks, not sure how much blogging I will be able to do...
I did manage to get some work done though, got a super-fun request from a secret magazine for a fall fairy crown which I made in a dusty brown with pink roses and a baby blue ribbon on the side, came out really nice, here it is is on my beautiful niece

and on the window

also made a new huge tote out of some pretty cabbage rose canvas fabric I found

I love this tote so much I might keep it...but for now I posted it on etsy
I have more fabric so I can always make myself another one, it's giant and soft and comes with a fabric flower pin which I made from red ticking fabric and some of the bags rose fabric remnants,also made a new dreamcatcher that's a bit more "grown up" and glitzy with a wild pink bird and black and white ribbon, check it out, also on etsy:

Well, hope you all have a great weekend and hope I'll find the time to write this week and tell you all about my wonderful silkscreen experiences that will include some photos! oh,one last word, I am reading a GREAT book "Eat,pray,love"  I love it !!!enjoy!
xoxo
