Mountain Beach House Studio has taken up full-time residence in my house. It used to be part-time but no longer. One room has been converted and it’s pretty awesome. Behold the photos! And feel free to contact Mark for all your sound recording needs. 🙂 And like him on fb. And all that other stuff like Instagram and twitter.
I know, I know. You’re thinking, “That happened, like, 10 days ago!” Well, yeah. Your point?
Once upon a time, things happened in my life, I took pictures, and then I blogged about them. Like right after the event. But life happens, ya know? So now that I’m on vacation I have some time with internet access and I can catch up. Then I’ll blog about vacation. Maybe only a few days after it happens. Progress, right? But I digress.
Our sons went to Southeast Asia on tour with the BYU Young Ambassadors!! Did you see the pictures? Hint: check the archives. Anyway, all good things must come to an end. Sadly, this is a life lesson we all must learn. So they came home and just like the two previous years when Mark went on tour, we went to the airport to meet them and bring them home. They didn’t get much sleep on the planes and were both groggy with bloodshot eyes, but felt good about a successful tour. It was a once in a lifetime trip and something they will always remember. We are so grateful for the opportunities they have had at BYU to learn and grow and use their talents.
We did the third block about three weeks ago and I forgot to post!
This is the Peas and Carrots block for our barn project. It came out so cute! We used the same green fabric because it was so perfect and then went with our own stash bright orange fabrics. Once again, the small little triangles made the block bulky with all those seams, but it sure is darling and got us in the mood to grow some vegetables.
We returned to more all-over prints for the red barns and were both much more happy with the result. We were uber careful with pressing but no matter how straight our barns are, adding that white sashing makes us lean. Hmmm. Photos are not as forgiving as the human eye and when it’s all together, maybe nobody will notice??

Well, this officially marks the end of my time performing with the BYU Young Ambassadors.
