Found these really neato plates at a Legion indoor garage sale and picked them up for $0.50 for the whole lot. I love the bird and flower pattern. I only wish they had the matching teacup for the one plate!

By the Sea
A few years ago we spent a wonderful week away at some cottages on Prince Edward Island. It was, quite possibly, the most relaxing and stress free vacay ever....for me anyways. Mandi lost one of her dogs at magnetic hill and Clark was very little at the time, Jessi and Cliff got married on the beach by our cottages, but Scooter and I just relaxed, lazed about and drank a lot of East Coast beer. I often wish we'd make a return trip but until then here's some cottage and beach life inspiration!!

Lily's Birthday and Canada Day!
This week was Lily's 1st Birthday followed by Canada Day. For her birthday we went over to Mandi and Jason's for BBQ and Cake (it wasn't the prettiest cake but I tried!). The next day was Canada Day and since Clifford and I were both off we spent the afternoon downtown checking out the festivities!

Add it to the list!
There are some exciting plans in the works right now for Common Threads that we will hopefully be able to share with you soon and I have many more things that I need to add to my own personal to-do list! I figured if I filled you guys in on some of them not only would I have a handy list to refer to but it may even motivate me to actually do a few of them! So here goes!
*Summer pajamas - sew pajama shorts for the boys, myself and especially Jason, who was given an IOU for one pair for Father's Day!
*Finish my sister's blanket for her that she started for her daughter (aka my niece Charley!).
*Keep working on my granny squares that I have abandoned. Poor, poor granny squares.
*Learn embroidery basics...hmmmm where to start with this one?
*Finish my fabric bunting tutorial...hopefully this will be posted some time next week!
*Find a tripod for my camera or see if Jessi's would work for mine.
*Update our Flickr - maybe add a personal photos section?
*Make dentist appointments! (I am embarrassed to admit how long it has been!)
*Finish watching The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo...I think we have tried tree times and are still only about halfway through. Oh the joys of trying to watch a movie with babies around!
*Make a beach date! We need some sand and sun time!
What do you have on your to do list? I get so torn with sunny summer days, family and blogging all calling. So much to do and so little time! Anyways, hope you are all having a beautiful summer and are finding the time to do the things that make you happy!
PS - Oh and a Happy Canada Day Weekend to all!!
