We just returned from a fabulous trip to CA for our granddaughter's wedding. It was a wonderful time with family and friends. We travelled with my sister and her husband and explored Black Dragon wash in Utah along the way. It is a short hike from the freeway and has pictographs 2,000 years old.

On the way home we hiked into Little Wild Horse Canyon in Utah. It is a slot canyon and was a marvelous adventure.

Before I left I mentioned a problem with my sewing machine. It is the intermittent failure of the needle-up/needle-down button. This was not resolved as it will be easier and cheaper to tackle it at its annual servicing. The machine still sits under the table in its Tutto bag. No time to sew anyway and I need the bedroom to be available for guests this summer.
Rather than get all the sewing stuff out I decided to start caning the first of 8 antique chairs on which the cane seats got brittle and broke down. DH helped by removing the damaged cane and cleaning the surface so I am ready to start weaving. Unfortunately, I started the job with cane that was at least 25 years old and found that it too was old and brittle. Now I am starting over with brand new cane. By the time I do 8 chairs I ought to get pretty good at it!

Sew some happy seams this week, or do something else. It is summertime!
