Back to the real world...

We got home late Saturday night so I guess it's time to get things back on track.  :(  Sunday morning we were dragging and sadly we didn't go to Church.  I just couldn't seem to get things going.

I did do a little sewing while on vacation.   I know it's wrinkled but you can still see my progress.  I have several more sewn into strips and I will keep working on it during my down time.  I love EPP and handwork.  
 I did pick these fabrics up while on vacation.  Nothing really special.  The dark blue and the red ones are 1 yard cuts.  I thought the little fat quarters were cute and also beach themed...starfish, seashells and such.  Not sure what I will make with them but I need to find a pattern to use them with then pick up some white for background and maybe some light grey as these fabrics have a little grey in them.  A total of 10 fat quarters with 2 of each.  I'll have to find something to make that will remind me of this vacation.
 So this week things should get back to normal and hopefully I can get back to sewing.  I have big plans!  LOL!  We'll see how that goes.  

Richard went back to work this morning.  Mom and Andrew had to go back to work yesterday (Sunday).  :(  They were really tired.  We all had the best time!  14 people in the same house for a week and we all survived.  

A few more vacation pics...  This was as we were leaving early Saturday morning. 
Here we are just goofing off...
Us on the beach....
My world...
That's all for now and back to quilty posts.

Looks like you had a good time, Kristie! Glad you were able to enjoy it with your family. We have a family beach vacation planned over fall break.

yes now back to real life and catch up on the garden and the laundry and stuff! I do not always get done with much sewing but always feel the need to bring it with me

Glad everyone had a good time in a beautiful place. But your home place is a beautiful place too, and I'm sure all of you love it. So ease back into your routines, and then you can show us some more pretty quilts! ---"Love"

It can be really had to come back to the real world after a great vacation. So glad your family had this opportunity, Kristie!
Always fun to pick up some fabrics to commemorate a happy time.
The photo of the horses in the sunrise has an other-worldly quality to it--beautiful!

It looks like you had a good time. Kudos to you for getting some stitching done while in vacation. I love those additions to your stash...especially those beach-themed fat quarters. I love, love, love the colors in them. Have a great day! --Andrea
