A lovely day at the beach

It started out cold here in sunny Florida, but warmed up enough to go to the beach. We went to Lover's Key State Park near Ft. Myers.

We had a lovely time playing on the beach.

The Small Man really digs the beach!

He's also quite the ham:

And also gets Dad in on the action:

The Mid-Kid played in the sand for a long time:

Until he got bored:

The Lovely Daughter sunned herself:

And hung out with Uncle J.:

We had a great blue heron come out and pose on the beach:

And we left as the sun set.

Ginormous bag

Working on a Secret Santa gift: NEEDS to get done soon!

The divider for the middle - Kona cotton on Peltex.

Piecing a star:

Hmmm. It looks like a pocket!

Off to work on some quilting of the sides.

EEK. Almost four months without posting.
I got DH to hide FreeCell today, so hopefully will get more done!

The first order of business is to thank my online friend Donnely at BlueRose Goddess Arts - I won a giveaway from her blog *quite* a while ago, and never posted a thank-you.

Look: A box stuffed FULL!

Inside the box, a whole lotta goodies: pretty mug and mug rug, tea wallet with some yummy-sounding teas, raspberry brownie mix, and FABRIC. Yum.

Thanks, Donnely - it made a dark phase a little brighter.
