it's july!

holy cow i can't believe it's already july! summer is in full swing in san diego; it's been warm and beautiful and the june gloom has finally said goodbye! i even got my first bad sunburn of the year. that means summer has officially begun in my book :)

i haven't had my sewing machine for about a month now, and i have lots of projects i'm dying to try once i get it back! it's supposed to be ready today, but they said the same thing on tuesday and it wasn't, so i'm not getting my hopes up. once i get it back i will post pictures of all the things i'm hoping to make!

i've also decided i'm going to finally get the studio i teach in looking at least a little bit inviting. i've been teaching there for almost two years now and it's about time i spruce it up. i'll post some before pictures soon, and i apologize if they make you depressed. 

happy weekend! here's to lots of barbequed things and waving flags and watching fireworks. and hopefully a s'more or two :) and how cute is that stars and stripes bunting???
