A Long Weekend...

Here in the US, we had a long weekend, celebrating Memorial Day today. We enjoyed every second of the weekend. I'd stocked up on lots of grilling ingredients. We grilled out salmon, burgers, steaks, and chicken. Yes, we ate well!

Sunday we went to the lake for a few hours. Hubby helped me with a photo shoot for Hexie Love. I took the next pieces for the Odyssey Quilt and we photographed them with the lake in the background.

There was an art show down the road, so we checked that out. Love art shows!!!!

I get so much inspiration from others' art. There were paintings, purses, metal work, jewelry, etc.

I loved everything!!!!

Hubby and I have our 31st Anniversary tomorrow - Tuesday. We decided to buy a piece of art to celebrate. Hmmm..... what to pick? We almost bought a lighthouse painting. And then there was a cool boat painting.

We also loved the metal fish.

But we came home with this whimsical painting of a yellow lab on wood. It reminded us of Cooper. We haven't hung it yet, but will do so soon.

I'll be working this week on laying out and designing pages for the next issue of Hexie Love. And sewing on my BERNINA! I got it back from its maintenance check today. Oh, I've missed her! I'll definitely put her to work tomorrow.

Another thing on my list: the June Block of the Month! June will be here SOON!
