It's Friday!  Let's Celebrate the Small Things with VikLit!

I'm happy to be a co-host, along with my other wonderful co-hosts.

We had a good 4th of July celebration with my dad.  The kids loved playing with sparklers, and it was fun to watch the fireworks.

My husband's birthday was on Sunday.  We had a nice family get-together for that.  There was cake, and there was swimming for the children.  Overall, it was a pretty relaxed day, which was fine by us.

I've been crafty this week.  I decided to make a homemade gift for my friend's daughter (who is turning three), so now I'm elbow deep in fabrics and thread.  I love sewing, but I'd almost forgotten how messy it can be.  In spite of the mess, though, it's been a lot of fun!

What would you like to celebrate?

    I would love to be able to sew...my mom is wonderful at it, but it's never been a skill I've picked up! Good luck making the gift, I'm sure it will be fantastic.

    I'm so envious of your craft skills. I can barely sew on a button and have been known to resort to the stapler to rescue a loose hem.

    Sounds like you had a great weekend last week. Good luck with your crafting project. I love sewing and making stuff, but you are right...it's messy! If all else fails, get the 3 year old a huge balloon and some candy...instant win :)
