I'm linking up with
Doodle Bugs Teaching for this week's Five for Friday linky fun.
Summer time means family time in these parts. We'll be getting more and more family time because my cousin-in-law and her family are moving 2 miles away from us! Currently they are 800 miles away from us. They came to visit for a few days, went house hunting and found the second cutest house in our zip code. (Ours is the cutest, of course.) In a few weeks we'll be #hanginatthehostetlers! I can't wait!
Super fun family time almost got ruined by Mother Nature turning up the heat. Triple digits in temperature and humidity. Not loving it. In an attempt to beat the heat, we loaded up everyone and headed to my mom's for some poolside shenanigans. Sen wouldn't get in, but the rest of us loved it.
I love my mom. To bits. But she is not the most tech savvy girl. We asked her to take a picture of us in the pool with my cell phone. Apparently she has never done this in her life. It took 15 minutes and I got 3 pictures of her jeans, an accidental selfie and a video of me being bratty. Must erase the incriminating video... ;) We did end up with a very good photo, however.
I'm also working through chair pocket orders. I've made some really cute sets this week. The chevron set in the middle is to coordinate with Dots on Turquoise. It is going to look great! I also finished two sets of double pockets.
More info on Etsy.
Just before the fam arrived my copy of The Ready Strategies Book by Jennifer Serravallo was delivered. I was able to peek inside a little and I getting antsy to dive in. It looks phenomenal!
Finally, we are using some of my off time to work at our way-out-in-the-woods property. Our first path to the lake ended at an alligator nest, so we unanimously decided to move to a new path. Yesterday we worked to forge through the wilderness (again) for a new path to the lake. This spot is awesome. It is on the southern end and is the future home to our dock. I love this place.
It's been a great week!
Sounds like you're having a fantastic summer! Enjoy the cool pool and your time with your family!

Family time is what it's all about at my house, too! It's the best thing about summer. Your way-out-in-the-woods property looks amazing. Good decision to avoid the alligator nest! Yikes! One thing I like about living in Connecticut is NO ALLIGATORS. :)
