We had a blast!....The days were all sunny and warm, not too hot, yet perfect for swimming and boogie boarding in the ocean which was also just at the right temperature...mmmm...real summertime bliss...I miss it so already! Aside from the requisite trip to Disneyland, we pretty much hung out at the beautiful beaches or horsed around in pools. What more can I say...a perfect family holiday best described by the wide grins in the photos: the pink beach babushka is 9-year-old Alexandra, and the freckled barefoot golden princess is 7-year-old Eva.
Thank you for all your great comments on my last post and SoCal travel tips! I have yet to reply to any of them, or for that matter, to any of my e-mails because I'm still having to re-group after the holidays -- you know, all the boring stuff: unpacking, laundry, groceries, on and on...But that's why all your comments are so wonderful: they truly motivate me to get all those things done quickly so I can start working on the fun stuff like the woolly house cushions - blogging never ceases to amaze me!
I have a big bunch of fabric to re-organize in the next few days and then I hope to show you some more progress on my woolly houses...
Your photos are beautiful - thanks for sharing them.

The fall is slowly beginning to put its mark on the trees. The leaf starts to turn yellow, orange, brown and red. I really enjoy the fall, not to cold and not to warm, and i find the colours just fantastic!
