Twirl and dip - best popsicles in town

 On an outing to Golden Gate park in San Francisco today we passed by a food truck selling handcrafted soft serve ice cream and fruitsicles. They were made by Twirl and Dip . What a treat!

O & C tried the strawberry pops, O's were dipped in chocolate, on the spot... I had
watermelon w/white pepper, very refreshing!

We had just been to the De Young Museum to see the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibit. The exhibit is absolutely worth catching, hurry up if you have not been yet, it is up until August 19th.

The ice cream truck was cute and who can pass up hand made ice cream? Not us that's for sure. 

The weather was overcast and not at all warm :) but we did not care, we were very 

happy to sit down on the nearest bench to enjoy our treats before we were so cold

we had to run back to our car to warm up :) 

Happy summer!

woodland fairy house birthday party

Little Miss C turned 9 this weekend. She knew exactly what she wanted to do for her birthday.

She wanted to have a party at our house with a few good friends, they would make flower fairies and fairy houses. She had it all figured out.

 We gathered sticks on our hike to the local creek, bought moss and feathers, bird nests, toadstool 

mushrooms, artificial flowers, tiny clothes pins, decorative rocks and glue at various different

art supply/ craft shops.

A long table in the sunroom served as a crafting table. 

We had cut a cardboard base for each girl ( the girls painted them with poster paint before starting their project). Each girl received a bag with some treasures to start out with. The rest of the supplies were placed on a separate table.

 Floral wire, artificial flower petals, wooden beads and yarn were used to make the flower fairies.

The girls were so busy they barely had time to take a break to eat cake. 

Yes! I am sewing again!!

I am so happy to be sewing again. Just finished a snack bag.

Have to admit I first put it together completely wrong. Tossed 

the fabric in the garbage it was not usable :) Had to

think for a while to figured out how to put this together.

Love this quick little project, I will make more, thats for sure.

time to sew

I have not touched my sewing machine in months, so today I made myself make a few small

 drawstring bags for little miss C.  She can store some of her itsy bitsy tiny little

things in them. She is always looking for a little bag

to bring her toys to paces.
