Danielle said...

How fun! I live one street over from Sea World, so our street really parties and watches SW's fireworks. I cooked a bananas foster upside down cake, we played with our own fireworks, and I captured the whole event with my new camera (which isn't easy to use at night, I'm finding).

OK...this weekend I went to a BBQ at a friends new house....it was very nice to eat food cooked by someone else! Also saw some fireworks in our neighborhood which was fun :) Favorite item on the site? The 4 seasons block of the month. I saw that quilt at the Fort Washington Quilt show years ago and didn't get it because I didn't know how to applique yet!....one thought in general...why do I LOVE all the quilty things that come from Australia? What is in the water down there?

Beverly said...

Pick 'A' pattern. I just couldn't. I love the Poppies for you bag and the Blossom butterfly. Absolutely cannot choose between the two. Plus, what about all the other patterns and things I'm not sure how I've lived without this long? Love her shop!

momto2wasd said...

Oh, how cute! I don't usually do more than one entry, but I might have to up my odds for this one!

My boys and I enjoyed the fireworks last night! The almost 13 year old enjoyed lighting them; the 9 year old who is autistic enjoyed them w/out getting too upset by the noise and even did a sparkler with a big smile on his face; the 2 1/2 year old was cute, but did need to run around a bit by halfway through.

~ Sara ~ said...
