Summer’s End…
I've been M.I.A. for almost two weeks now. Is something major going on over here, you might wonder? Could it possibly be that we have already begun the countdown to Fall Market? Could there possibly have been a major photo shoot happening at our house lately? Well, maybe… but more importantly all three of my wonderful little munchkins have been home with no camp for the past 2 weeks, we have gone on vacation to Catalina Island and my dad has visited for several days! I can handle all those work deadlines without breaking a sweat [well, maybe with a small sweat] but its the entertaining and keeping of a 10 year old, 7 1/2 year old and an almost 4 year old that has put me seriously behind in my blogging responsibilities… its a very different kind of energy… one that I don't have as much of as "deadline" energy…

Hi Joanna,
your little munchkins {love the word} are adorable…{ooooh, those eyes}.
I’ve just finished the Designer Mystery BOM @FQS that you’ve designed – it’s gorgeous and you did more than a good job! I have some of the FreshVintage patterns but still no time to start with them…is there a chance that you’ll design ‘instant time’, too? ;o)
Cheers, Julia
P.S.: I love reading your blog…!

Your home looks so warm and inviting! I know that your family and friends can feel the warmth of your home when they are there!
Thanks for participating in the Designer Mystery BOM! I love the paisley fabric that you used in the block!
I can’t wait to get my next issue of Fresh Vintage!

Hi Joanna,
Thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures and another glimpse into your inspiring life. I, too, wanted to express how much I love the block you did for the Designer Mystery BOM for the Fat Quarter Shop. Thank you.
