Saying goodbye to summer...

Labor Day sunset at North Beach (South Haven, MI)

Hard to believe that another summer's come and gone, but the season departed from the beaches of western Michigan with a weekend of truly incredible weather: not a cloud in the sky, mid-eighties, with a light breeze...everything would have been perfect had the air conditioning not quit here at the beach house yesterday afternoon, which made today pretty miserable -- inside, anyway. Let's just say the cat wasn't very happy; I, on the other hand, was enjoying my book (Eat, Pray, Love -- perfect long weekend reading) on the deck, basking in bad-for-me sunlight (rationalized by a recently discovered Vitamin D deficiency) and thoroughly enjoying the feel of something other than a desk chair under my behind.

And -- drum roll, please -- I dropped the 60th Anniversary quilt top off with the longarm lady this morning, and my elation is indescribable! The dark cloud of guilt that hovered over every project I worked on over the past year that wasn't this quilt (and if you read my earlier posts, there were several of those) has finally lifted, and my creative license has been renewed.

Anybody have any idea how long creative licenses are good for?
