Wayfarers Chapel

Wayfarers Chapel

The boys enjoyed running on the lush lawn.

Cute little family in the little chapel.

This past weekend we went to Rancho Palos Verdes, CA for my youngest nephew's baptism. I'd never been to Wayfarers Chapel. It is very small and it sits above the Pacific Ocean. It was built in 1951 by Frank Lloyd Wright's son, Lloyd Wright. It is all glass and stone surrounded by trees. Some people call it the glass chapel. Lloyd Wright liked to call it the tree chapel. I wish I'd taken more pictures inside the chapel however I was kind of caught up in the moment enjoying the baptism and I forgot to take pictures. So all I have is before and after. He is a sweet baby boy and we are blessed to have him in our family. The chapel is very peaceful and open to the public. So anyone can stop by and enjoy the view.

Happy Memorial Day.

Orange

I am really into Orange right now!

  I love the surprise fabric on the inside.

Elegance Pleated Clutch from Bags the Modern Classics By Sue Kim 

My latest clutch. It is a gift for my sister's birthday. I saw this fabric and I thought of her. It's so Palm Springs. She is into navy blue so the zebra print on the inside is a cheeky surprise.  I was able to start and finish this sewing project in 1 day! I am sort of looking forward to D starting Kindergarten. It's crazy what you can get done in a day without distractions.

Super Heroes & Capes

 Cape in action.

 Able to leap tall buildings

Even the Moms wore capes

My favorite superhero wasn't at school today however I had to share a picture of him.

Today was Super Hero day at the pre-school. I made capes out of old shirts that you don't need a pattern, Velcro or a sewing machine. Super easy and every kid got a cape. You take a Tshirt and cut up the side. Cut the sleeves off and cut off the front of the shirt. Just make sure you leave the hole for the head intact. Presto you have a cape. D is still on vacation so he missed Hero day however I know he is having a bunch of fun with his Grandparents. Everyday is Super Hero day with Mr. D.

50 Shades of Grey

Scandalous

Found this fabric at Joann's

So this week Little D is on vacation. He is visiting his Grandparents. This gives me A LOT of free time during the day! I don't know what to do with myself. I am hoping to get some sewing done and read.
I picked up Fifty Shades of Grey. This book has A LOT of buzz around it. It's suppose to be scandalous. I just hope it's not a waste of time. I haven't found a book to hold my interest in a few months EEK. I've mostly been reading books on parenting and cooking. Blah that's why I need a little scandal in my life.

EIF Revlon Run/Walk for Women's Cancer

8th year running

Team hats 

Lots of people...Good thing we have matching hats so we won't lose each other.

Stacy Keibler and Halle Berry 

Big thumbs up. I can't believe she did a 5k in those shoes.

So Friday we went to Disneyland. Last time I was at Disneyland I saw a hat I liked and I regretted not getting it. We walked all over California Adventure and Disneyland looking for this hat. The more shops we went to and didn't find it the more I wanted the hat. We finally found the hat. I convinced Kristina to get it so we could wear matching hats at the walk. Saturday morning we get to the event and Kristina realizes she forgot her running shoes! HA Poor thing jogged in those shoes. It was such a great weekend. There were many moving speeches. I felt so blessed to be healthy.  Together Kristina and I raised $575 for women's cancer.
