enjoying our Summer holidays . . .

We have been having a GREAT Summer so far - filled with gymnastics, dance class, swimming lessons and we're looking forward to synchronized swimming and basketball camp coming up.  I've also been tackling our storage closet, selling off some stuff, and reorganizing various rooms in the house.


We've also gone to the beach, spray parks, playground, on bike rides, and spent lots of time in our own backyard.  It is so nice to have the kids out of the house almost every day - it makes for less cleaning, although my towel laundry has tripled. :)


This past weekend we went camping for two nights with just our family and had a great time in a beautiful campground that we plan to return to next Summer.  This week I'm catching up on laundry and cleaning out the tent trailer so it will be ready for the next camping trip.

June Blocks for Joy Circle


These are my blocks for June for Do Good Stitches.  The tutorial for the Patchwork Wheel blocks can be found here.  I'm not sure that I would attempt this block for a whole quilt, but it's perfect for a bee - looking forward to seeing this one finished in the Flickr group!
