Summer

So it's summer, thank goodness. I have been working on a few projects. I have a friend getting married this summer and I am a bridesmaid.

My dress is a sleeveless dress so I asked if I could make a jacket to wear with it. This is my finished product. It is the same color as the dress.I also made a centerpiece fot the reception. This is my first try. I really like the bucket, it was a light blue so I spray painted it and it ended up with a kind of swirly look. I have since decided for a centerpiece it is to huge. I will be downsizing it and I hope the new product looks as good.

I have six other buckets. I am going to take the buckets and flowers with me and put them together in my hotel room. The wedding is in Oregon on the beach. I also have shovels that may get worked in to the final thing.

Rambling

So I guess I don't write often enough. You definitely know that when family calls just to tell you you haven't written in a while. There isn't much to do around here. School is officially out and I am officially out of work for two months. That is cause for celebration. The part that is not cause for celebration is that I have nothing to do for two months. I might go stir crazy in my off time. I have been bored enough to work out, maybe I should be bored more often? Ray and I have moved out of the place we were house sitting and are staying with Ray's parents in the interim. We will be moving into a house next to the church here in Los Alamos to house sit for another year. I hope that will work out better than the last place.

The last book I read was The Host by Stephenie Meyer. It was really good. A little hard to get into but once into it I was hooked. I will admit at this point she is my favorite Author. I can't wait for August 2nd when the last book in the Twilight series will come out. I have it on pre-order. Woo-hooo!

I am sad to say I have a hard time finding other books to compare with these.

Ray found out today he is being moved to Swing shift. I guess it is a good thing I am out of work for a couple of months as otherwise we would never see each other. He is working days this week and is supposed to have Saturday and Sunday off. Because of this change however he will work Sunday evening.

Anywho. TTFN!
