FINtastic Mermaid Summer Mini Retreat

Well, I'm ALMOST recovered from our FINtastic Mermaid Retreat this past weekend. The dishwasher is still going full force, huffing & puffing away.
My kitchen is ALMOST clean again from all the cooking & preparing.
But we had a wonderful time! I love to see what everyone is working on.

Here are a few highlights - you'll love our Mermaid Retreat Quilting Boogie!

 Lisa modeling her finished apron!

Fun & games

Check out that binding job!

New Christmas Fabric!

If you have been to our shop much, you know.
It's pretty obvious.
I have a serious weakness for Christmas fabric!
It's a curse...or a gift...hard to say...
but

 I LOVE Christmas fabric!

There's an emphasis on red...



and today we noticed a blizzard of snowflake prints! ;)

We have LOTS of poinsettias & cardinals.

You'll find Robert Kaufman, Moda, Benartex, In the Beginning, Timeless Treasures, Clothworks, & Northcott.

There's a LOT of gorgeous Christmas fabric. I'm not sure how this happened...

 

but stop in & check it out!

We have our Jolly Jingle Workshop next week - so it will be a perfectly Christmasy time.
We'd love to see you!

Plan to join us for our Harvest Hop!

Vacation time!

We just returned from a dreamy vacation to Beqa Lagoon in Fiji. As a surprise, our son & daughter in law showed up at the airport & joined us on the scuba diving trip! 

It was wonderful to have them with us. 

 Here's our resort from the water.

This is our bure on the island...

and this is our ocean view from the porch.

We spent every morning scuba diving, & one afternoon I walked around the resort taking pics to share with you. The grounds are beautiful. 

Here are a few pics Richard took underwater...we found Nemo! 

 

 

The colors are amazing!

Here I am waving underwater - not my most photogenic look - but I yam what I yam!

 

Here's one of our Fiji sunsets.

 

So now we're back at the shop - we have lots of fun planned for you this summer!
