a beach Christmas

Well I wonder if there is anyone out there still reading my blog, since I seem to have taken a bit of an extended blogging break there the last couple months! I really didn’t mean to, but time just got away from me. We are actually in the process of buying our first home, so things have been a little bit on the busy side between house buying, my photography business, and just general life… It is pretty exciting though, since this is our first house and we have been married for almost five years now. So I am sure there will be some more crafting & house projects as soon as everything is settled and we move into our new house (crossing my fingers that everything works out really smoothly as we approach closing and such).

In the meantime I thought I would share a few photos from our Christmas holiday… We spent this Christmas on the beach with my husband’s family. It was so pretty to wake up with the sunrise over the ocean. (Although due to the time zone changes, I can’t say I was really up with the sunrise…)

Our two kitties stayed home with their favorite cat sitter, but my brother-in-law and his wife  brought their two dogs. These two are my absolute favorite pups in the whole world :) They adopted them a few years ago and they are the sweetest little things. I spent a lot of the holiday with these two cuddled up on my lap. It really makes me look forward to getting our own puppy at some point in the future :)

Definitely a beautiful place to spend Christmas and a nice break from the grey skies and cold rain in Seattle. :)

I do have a couple of sewing projects to share, but those will have to wait until my next post. In the meantime, I am blogging again on my photography blog too so be sure to stop by there too :)
