This is what I have been up to.

Hello all- 

Well the last two weeks have been hectic, amazing, fun and overwhelming all bundled into one.  the dust has settled somewhat (well actually it literally is flying with the construction).  Where so I begin, I have gone back to work art time.  My husbands family was visiting from Ireland.  That was a great time.  Eileen (one of Freja's middle names) got to meet her 7th grandbaby for the very first time.  What a special moment.  

The adventures began with a knife accident resulting in 6 stitches on my right hand middle finger.  That put me out of commission for a while.  The stitches are out and my finger has a great Frankenstein like scar across it.  Freja likes to pet it, go figure.  I will spare you any pictures of the finger.

After the family was packed and put on Aer Lingus back to Ireland we officially closed on the building for the Restaurant.  YEAHHHHHHHHHH!  The Fifth Element is back on track.  Construction has begun and we hope to open in September.  It has been a long year of waiting, scrambling and red tape.

The guys showing Freja where she will work on day, and the bobcat that goes in and out removing all the debris.  This place will be amazing.

I have just scratched the surface as to what my life has been like, crazy crazy crazy.  I think that is just the way of life, aren't we all crazy and consumed with so many activities in our lives?

I am keeping up with sewing as well and have ten bags in the works.  I will post as soon as they are done.  They will be available at The Groovy Gator.

 The squares are cut now I just need to match the trims I want to use.

The magical ever expanding box of trims and embellishments.

Hope you are all enjoying the summer like weather.  I'll be posting again soon.
