{more} PELEE ISLAND, ONTARIO CANADA

new friends were made for the week.........

they would spend EVERY available minute together......

you would have thought they'd been friends for a lifetime.......

our days were relaxing and playful........whether we swam in the lake.....

tried out new snorkel gear....

combed the shores for pelee island beach glass.........

our days were always quiet, layed back, and slow paced.....

we slept in every morning.....hit the beach first thing in our p.j.'s to see what treasures may have washed up on shore over night..........

each evening usually ended right where the day began........ there on the shore marveling at another breathtaking sunset.......

then the next day...............

we'd go back out and do it all over again.........

{day one} PELEE ISLAND, ONTARIO, CANADA

 

hitting some balls at a driving range in leamington, ontario before taking the ferry over to pelee island, ontario.

once on the island, aubrey and daddy put on their swim suits and flippers and went for a swim.

the sunset on the first night we were on the island was one of the most beautiful i've ever seen.

RECENT FINISHED PROJECTS......

this is the quilt that i made mom for christmas.  i like to take the pictures of my quilts outside and since it was a bit snowy in december i decided to wait till spring.  on this quilt i used a mary englebriet fabric for the backing that had teapots on it.....that is what i used to match my fabrics to for the front.

this quilt in the pineapple block.  it is now one of my favorites!  the block is so easy to make!this is my most recent finished project.  i got a wild hair one day so i repainted the living room this green and made a quilt to hang on the wall above the piano.  i love dresden plate quilts....they look so complicated but the truth is they are quite easy!  the quilt and the painting made for a nice weekend sewing project while the husband was out of town!

edit.....

having some problems with the sizing of the pictures....be patient with me while i try to fix it!

HOLE IN ONE !!!

my dad with his twin brother.....dad got a hole-in-one on sunday at the golf course!!

i think he is still probably floating on air!!

way to go dad!!

BALLERINA GIRL

our neighbor morgan also had her dance recital on the same day.  her's was all ballet, aubrey's started with tap and danced to the song "singing in the rain"  they pose here together before we each left for recitals.

aubrey was given flowers by grandparents and us.  this was one of the highlights of the event!

pretty as a princess!

aubrey has sure come a long way since starting dance lessons.  she started out shy and a bit (TONS) reserved......now although she has her moments, she is more outgoing and doesn't shy away from dancing for the crowd.

we are so very proud of her!

slipp'n and slide'n the heat away!

goofiness

sweetness!
