In Color Order

Saturday:  Toes in the sand, surf in the hair.  A long, sunny day at the beach with my children and husband and some very dear friends. Goodbye, summer.

Sunday:  Sewing, sewing, sewing...all day long.  With my daughter, whose words of admiration and encouragement are peppered with odd little questions.  Listening to the rain fall with windows wide open.  Welcome, fall.

These sort of days when life is so beautiful and so fully experienced - I just want to freeze them in time.  And yet I didn't even try to take pictures of the action.  Sometimes in holding on so tight I find I lose the moment instead.

Today .

I set out today to finish two lingering projects:  my Christmas tree skirt and the Red & Aqua Sampler Quilt for do. Good Stitches.  I am 1 for 2, but that's ok.  Aria made a scissors cover/pouch that turned into a sleeping bag for her little dollhouse doll.  And then, she made this dress, complete with velcro closure at the back.  This after she proudly bought her very own velcro circles for a tidy 76 cents at the fabric store!

Somewhere along the way, she reorganized my pins by color, as she loves to do.  And when she asked me for the zillionth time if I'd keep them that way, I decided to commit.  Because, this weekend was just about as perfect as a rainbow.  And, she's right, they do look lovely in color order.

May all our weekends {yours and mine} be so sweet.
