Hello, Goodbye, July!

Why, hello, little blog…so nice to see you again.

July has come and gone in the blink of an eye. It’s been a fine month…full of hard work and lots of catch-up from the end of the school year. For all of the work, there’s been lots of play, too…including my family’s annual hiking trip to the lovely Berkshire mountains.

Of course, a little piece The Handmade Classroom came with me…I sent this set of worry dolls about midway through the week.

And then it was to the Outer Banks with my other family…

Once again, the Handmade Classroom came with me…a day and half recovering from a killer sunburn (note to self: 20SPF sunscreen applied once in the morning may work well when you’re walking in the woods, not so much on the beach)  provided perfect opportunity to sketch, dream and stitch. These Oregon Trail sisters went out as a gift from a customer in Oregon to her sister in Glens Falls, NY (only 25 minutes from my house!).

How did July treat you? Did you bring a little piece of your studio somewhere new?
