Annual 'I Miss Summer' post and link up party


It's that time of year!!!  Yes time for my annual 'I miss summer' Blog.

 I always know I am coming down with a BAD case when early in February I stop reading blogs from Florida or any other warm place on earth! (can't take the Jealousy). 

 It usually happens gradually with things like:
 Buying an excessive amount of fresh food from the grocery store trying to re-create the taste of garden fresh veggies of summertime.
Trying to go for walks and bike rides on days when it looks sunny and warm outside but having to turn around and come back into the house because the wind is coming straight from the Arctic.

 And finally one day I succumb to the malady completely by looking through last summer's photos!!

Endless hours of fun in the sun!!!



 Bare toes and green grass


 Parades, picnics and the smell of sunkissed toddler skin!!
Photos by my BFF Beka Fox ! Take a look at her Etsy shop !! All proceeds of her shop go into funding her family's dream to ADOPT!! Isn't that exciting??

    I miss the warmth. I'm always cold and our NY winters kill me! I also miss being able to send the kids outside to play. The day (and night) always seems to go so much better when the kids have had a chance to get out and run around :)

                                                Staci and her Owl n lolipop tree fleece that she chose. When Daddy calls home from work and says he'll be an hour late my heart sinks.  But then I realize that Dinner is ready and waiting, The house is cleaned up for Daddy's arrival, and the kids are busy playing. This means Quality crafting time!!  And I have A pile of fleece just waiting for me to dive into!! Here's how to make your own fleece bed sheet: Wash and dry your fleece on normal cycle to pre shrink it. You will need: (For a single bed) 2.5yds of 55in wide fabric (I used Blizzard Fleece) Jo-Anns Fabric 2 yds of 1/4 inch elastic matching thread The tricky part about full and queen sheets is that no one wants a seam right down the middle of their bed.. so we will put the seams at the side of the mattress using a full piece with no seam over the TOP of the mattress. For a full Bed: 4 yds fleece. 2 2/3yds of 1/4 inch
