I can understand your dilemma about the summer or OCT, but honestly I thought it was just as hot and humid when we went over Columbus Day compared to the summer.
I remember our October vacations having some very hot days!
How scary about the accident. I saw you posted it on FB but thank God they did not injure anyone else with their actions.
I know... Now she has some yahoo hanging around who thinks the speed limit in town is 70mph (and no muffler)...

And I did not know you are on your city counsel. I am not sure I could work with people like that or for a town that would vote those people back in. Stay strong
Yah - I am having the same issue - trust me.
My friend goes every August and never sees any BTG. They seem to be only when we go in June or July:

And ITA about the heat, especially going in late August your body is already accustomed to some of the heat.
That's what I was thinking too...

I just love this bag and the FF fabric![]()
Thanks - I love how it turned out.
I'm late to the party but this is so cute! Do you have a FB or etsy page?
Welcome!!! I love having new readers!
turned out great!
enjoy your weekend!
am re-doing Megan's room...off to IKEA and painting this weekend!
Thanks!
Ooh - you'll have to show us pictures... Josh and I were just at Ikea the other day. I almost bought my sewing room shelf - but he insisted that I better remeasure (for the billionth time), because he didn't think it would fit.

Just on my phone this weekend...running around like a mad woman trying to get things together for DS's birthday party. But I wanted to comment on the newest faboulus bag! I never used to have any love for the villians, but I think Liddy changed my mind a little. If I do go in October, I plan to make meeting them my focus one evening. Love the fabric....is it sparkly? Hard to tell on a little phone. But I love how the colors work so well together. And that zipper pull...LOVE!
I know - Liddy is the BEST Villian advocate ever... I miss her...
As far as I know - the Villians are only out during MNSSHP...

I am dying to do a Villian bag for our trip - but I just can't choose which one??? I will definately have some sort of Halloween themed bag though. I've been hoarding Halloween fabrics for several weeks - I need to stop buying them...

Forgive me while I yell:
That bag is AMAZING!!!
Maleficent is a favorite villian and the colors are astoundingly perfect for her. And I love that the zipper pull is the dragon form.
All I can hope is that I will someday be able to make one for myself that looks half as good.
I can't nap either. I always end up reading, or thinking about current projects, or hearing weird noises, or not being able to nod off because of dog snoring.![]()
Thanks!!! It did turn out pretty cool. I kind of wish I would have used a different color of purple for her cape, but other than that - I love it!
I was pleasantly surprised how well the zipper pull turned out, when I was cutting it - I was just a bit nervous, it's so small - and that is why I did the ruffle the way I did it, I was hoping it would almost take on the extension of the dragon?
You are an EXCELLENT seamstress - and I bet you could make a park bag that would put mine to shame.

Well... V and I went to town yesterday morning - it was a super quick trip... Bank... Library... Walmart... Post Office.... Home.
Then I went up to my sewing room...
I started drafting the pattern for my Camera Bag (which needs a name... Could use some help with that....) I have to say - I have the entire pattern drafted and I love it... It's a mix of about 3 different bags - 2 of which I own. I think I am mostly excited because the front has a really awesome space to applique. I am also excited because it will have space for a DSLR, one extra lens for sure (plus one on the camera), and other little things that photographers usually carry. However - do not confuse this with a large bag, it is a bit smaller than the Messenger. Not only with it have space for camera stuff - but it will also have space for park stuff. Now, it isn't tall like my UPB is (for maps), but it does have space for them. I am super exciteda bout it, and I can't wait to start getting this thing put together. It will take a lot of time, because there is a lot of quilting.
I also finished drafting the pattern for my Camera Bag insert. Marianne gave me this idea, and Mo (Chicago Mo) has been helping me too... The insert is awesome, because (hopefully) you will only need to buy one insert, which can be transferred from bag to bag. I have my first prototype insert almost finished... I am super excited about it! The insert is designed specifically to fit perfectly inside my Camera bag.

So, that's my big news for today. Whoot!
I plan to lock myself in my sewing room for a good portion of the day (Josh plans to work on the water heater anyways...) and finish that insert, and maybe start quilting the pieces for the camera bag.

I hope you all have an amazing Sunday!
