I turned the calendar to August this morning and had a quick "summer is almost over and I haven't done everything I had wanted to" panic attack. It happened to you too, eh?
Luckily we are off to the cottage in the OBX. No, we don't have a cottage. I wish we did. But I love just saying those words and dreaming about having a cottage (said in the most English of accents). I spent at least an hour last night looking up cottages on real estate websites. Oh, it would be so nice to say things like "why don't you just meet us at the cottage this weekend" or "you look like you need a vacation, just use our cottage". So nice.
But luckily I have a good friend who does have a cottage. And she has been so kind as to invite us down for the day.
The travel pillow above was put together rather quickly the night before I left for Nicaragua after seeing this tutorial over on the mayamade blog. I didnt end up following the tutorial. I did my own quick and easy version with a longer handle for throwing over my shoulder. It ended up working perfectly for the plane. Zane has snagged the travel pillow since then and it is already packed in the back seat of the car for today's travels. And I have orders for two more made from robot fabric and a camouflage print.
But that little project will have to wait until we get back. We'll see you tomorrow. Hopefully with sandy toes, sea treasures spilling out of our pockets and pink shoulders.
