{Labor Day and labor day}

How did “the last weekend of summer” get here so quickly? Seems like Zack and I were just begging & pleading with Winter to L E A V E so Summer could come. We were ready to be warm… Minnesota winters are NASTY! We both want more warm weather!

There are many things on our schedule this weekend: family is visiting, we’re having a photo shoot with these peeps {I’ve been wanting to include balloons in our shoot for MONTHS now}, we’re having a cookout at our place, and then Monday I get to steal Zack for the entire day! He’s been working so much lately that I’ve hardly seen him since we moved in. Almost 2 weeks ago.

But I’m not counting ;]

***

Once Labor Day passes I’ll be doing my own labor day{s} — The Creative Connection will be here, in Minneapolis {yay!}, in less than 2 weeks and I’ve got LOTS to do before. Not only is Gussy going to have a table at the handmade market, but I’m going to be getting my learn on at all the awesome panels. Sew pumped!

I’ll be a little MIA for the next few days but will definitely pop back in to show you progress of all the things I’m making and finishing up. Molly and I can’t wait to meet you all! If you’re coming to the handmade market, STOP BY!

I can’t wait to show you pics of all the product I’m making — say a little prayer that I get all the items made that I am hoping to make, ok? ♥ Many thanks.

    I so wish I was able to go to The Creative Connection. I am so jealous! Need any help staffing your table at the market? :)

    I bought my first Gussy product-one of your new strawberry purses! I know they’re for little girls but it might be too cute for me to give up! ;) Have a wonderful balloon shoot and Labor day! :D

    gussy luv! have a super weekend. your weekend sounds glorious. i am so excited for the weekend because i have only had 2 days off the entire MONTH of August!!!
    Dave and I are going to watch college football and go to the phillies game tonight! Then I MUST clean the house and after that Dave and I are going to plan out my new sewing/craft room! Right now my new sewing machine is still in the box because I have no place to put it–i can’t just sew in any place-I need to have a CUTE place where my creative juices can flow:)

    smiles and hugs to you,
    gina

      Gina, oh that sounds fab! You’ll have to let me know when your sewing room is finished so I can take a peek at the pics :]

      xoxo!
