Back Home Again

I can't believe it is July already. Wow, where does the time go? I got a little present in the mail while we were up at the cottage. The sweet little collage above is from Heather as a part of Jenny's Bits & Pieces Collage Swap we participated in. Isn't it simply lovely? I can't decide which square I like the most. I think I love them all! You can see more of everyone's collages here.

We had a great time at the cottage. We didn't get any of the yard work done that we planned to do. The weather couldn't have been more perfect so we played instead of worked. We went on a fantastic nature walk that I will tell you more about in the next day or two. We brought our bicycles up with us this time. I can't even remember the last time I was on a bike. I was surprised that I could still do it without making a complete fool of myself. My DH and I met while riding bikes right around this time of the year...many, many moons ago! In fact I still have the brown Raleigh bike I was riding when I met him - I've told you before that I am a pack-rat! However, that is not the bike I rode over the weekend. I did get a new bicycle at some point, but never could part with the old one for sentimental reasons.

Below is a sneak peek at the crown I made for Claire for the Crown and Tiara Swap we are in. I can't show too much of it as I don't want to ruin the surprise for her. Once she receives it, I will post a picture of the whole crown.
