Laowai

It feels like summer here. Now that restriction are lifting a little Claire has been to see a couple of her friends and they have been swimming in the lake twice. I don’t see so many sunrises because the sun is getting up before I do. But we have had some great sunsets – like the one below. Brian and I dragged Bea out for a little after dinner walk.

Brian has been working with people in the US a lot so that means working late and eating dinner late. But I feel a little less grumpy about 8:00 pm dinner when we still have some light.

So lots of outdoor meals. and that means I can take over the dinning room table with my sewing machine. I finished my quilt on Tuesday! I’m anxious to get some nice photos of it today. 

Bea dressed up in my clothes. Not sure why, but everyone thought is was funny…

I made a strawberry cake.

A bee in my bedroom.

The usual amount of cheese in our fridge – oh dear.

We drove up into the mountains and met Brian and his bike again. To Klontalersee – a popular spot and another lovely day.

I want this to be my holiday chalet.

I made a dress. It’s the reliable Washi Dress pattern that I have made several times. I bought this fabric a while back. I love the fabric so much – I don’t care if it makes a dress that’s a bit crazy. It makes me happy! And it has pockets! The fabric is from Monika Forsberg.

Lastly, I’m thinking of Midland. It’s currently underwater. I’m thankful that my family is all safe and their homes seem to have escaped damage. But so many people did not escape the worst of the flooding – and all this on top of the pandemic. When it rains it pours!
