Staycation: View from the Downeast Duckboat Tour

We did a little local tourism this weekend and went and took a Duckboat tour in Portland on Saturday.  It was the perfect day for it.  The weather was beautiful!  Fynn saw a Duckboat on a show he was watching with Patrick and because fascinated so we found him one to ride.  It really is nice.  Your get to ride all around Portland and learn a ton of local history and then you go into the bay and see some of the Calendar Islands.
We had a great lunch at 5 Guys and got to walk around Old Port and just do general touristy stuff for the day.  How often to you get to take a day to play tourist less than an hour from where you live?

4th of July (a week later)

I hope everyone had a fantastic 4th of July.  We did, we went to the Round Pond Parade, did some grilling and saw some beautiful fireworks. 
The week that followed has been kind of crazy and I currently have 2 kiddos with Strep Throat but we are all on the mend and getting ready for more summer fun. 

W.I.P Wednesday

I am currently working my way through Patchwork, Please! as part of the Zakka 2.0 Sew-A-Long.  I am not getting as far as I would like, but I have started most of the projects so far...

I have the paper pieced letters all finished for my Tea Cozy, that is going to my recipient for the Christmas in July Swap on Ravelry.  I just need to get the cozy and coordinating tea pockets finished before, well before the end of July.  So that will probably get finished up this week so I can get it in the mail.

I have all of the pieced blocks finished for the cafe apron, I just need to put them together and make the apron and that will be finished.
The rings are all sewn together for the Bloom quilt. But as that is a present I won't be sharing any more pictures until it goes to it's new home.   I just need to sew them down on the background and make the backing and then I can quilt it.  I think I'm going to make a funky backing for this one because the top is kinda straight laced.

I did make some more fabric bundles for the shop.  The top is the Wild Blue Fat Quarter bundle and the bottom is Citrus Pop.  So project destash is progressing.

I appliqued the entire outside of my star for my mug rug, I just need to finish the hearts and it will be ready for quilting.

To Do:
I am planning on making 3 or 4 Sebago Bags in the next little bit.
I have to prep for the Vinyl Beach Bag class that I'm going to be teaching so I will be making a few of those.
The set of Place mats in the Patchwork Please book are the next project for the Sew-A-Long and I think they would be a great gift...


I am linking up with WIP Wednesday over at Freshly Pieced.
