Yes, we still have snow on the ground outside.  And yes, the kids’ ski gear is still piled on my laundry room floor.  But I am ignoring such things.  I’ve moved on to July.  Part of the problem is Amy Butler’s new fabric line finally arrived in stores, and it was screaming to be made into something summery for the girls.  The rest of the problem is that the sky has been so gray this past month, I just really couldn’t resist throwing something together that was bright and cheerful.

I wish I could tell you this was going to be a tutorial, but I really am not sure how I made it.  I didn’t have a pattern, just an old bathing suit cover up that I was trying to copy.  I do like the way it turned out though, I like it enough that I kind of want one too.

The white crocheted trim finishes it off.

Here are some other of Amy Butler’s new fabrics:

Now enough about fabric, our Moses study begins on Monday!  Are you excited?  I’m excited (and nervous)!  Our introduction will post Monday, and a little warning, it’s lengthy.  You should not expect each post to be so long, but please remember that this is study…and we are gonna study!  Our younger sister Elizabeth has been helping us sort through what has been written, giving us feedback, and telling us when we are not making sense.  So hopefully she is helping work out the unclear kinks on your behalf, so that when you sit down to read and study, the concepts will be clear.  Our introduction will cover quite a bit of historical background to get us started, but there is no reading “required” before Monday’s post.  Just show up in your pj’s with a cup of coffee bright and early and we will be ready for you.  If you would like to share our Women Near the Cross study on your blog, you can copy the code underneath our Women Near the Cross button over to the right.  If you would like to subscribe so that the posts are emailed directly to you, you can do that in the top right hand corner of this page.  Thanks for coming along with us.  I will meet you back here on Monday so that we can meet ”a new king, that did not know Joseph”.  Happy weekend sweet friends!
