A little housekeeping
Happy summer! I hope yours is going well. Today, I have a few housekeeping items to share with regards to The Crafty Quilter.
I will be taking the rest of July off from blogging. My calendar for July had filled up with so much activity that I was getting stressed out from overload. I think this is the first time I’ve taken an actual break since I started The Crafty Quilter in 2012!
This will also give me some time to work on new content for you and to catch my breath. I’m always more excited about “work” when I’m fresh and energized. I’m sure you can relate.

Fun stuff
I made these watermelon margaritas last week and they were really refreshing. It’s also a nice way to use up a watermelon that isn’t great.
I’ve been working on my 2023 Scrap Project. I’m finally getting to sew my blocks together!
Our youngest daughter turned 30 this week. We took her out to lunch and had champagne! It was such a beautiful day for a beautiful person.
That’s all for now. We are loading up the car this morning for a short vacation to Lake Shasta. It will be hot, but the lake will keep us cool. I hope you have a great rest of July!

I’m always amazed how you get to your blog every week and still get quilting and cooking and family in! Enjoy your break!

Don’t think anyone begrudges you needed time off, probably well over due!
Enjoy your time away to renew and refresh!
Enjoy your time off!
Have a nice break. Enjoy.
Enjoy your time away while I recoup from carpal tunnel surgery right hand. Pain unbelievable….but I’ve read three books! No quilting but I can turn pages!!!! Looking forward to your new refreshing ideas!
Blessings, Dawn
Have an excellent vacation!
Enjoy your holiday which you really deserve. Thanks for your generosity with all the tips and info you publish, here in Argentina there are few quilters so I’m so grateful for all the info you send. Have a great vacation and enjoy
Everybody needs a break from the everyday grind, even quilting. Have a wonderful time and glad you are getting away for some much earned R&R. Have big fun!
Enjoy your vacation! We’ll be anxiously awaiting your return. I’m sure your crafty brain will have all kinds of things to share with us.
Julie,
I enjoy all of your blog posts and thank you for some great tips and tutorials. Enjoy your time as you take a break and happy belated birthday to your daughter.
Enjoy your break Julie, sometimes we all need to do that. Watermelon margarita….that sounds good!
Be well, be happy, tale (what I call a brain break) and live your best life. Thanks for all you do!
Enjoy your time off! We all need this at times…..looking forward to your fresh ideas coming in August.
You’re so smart to take the time you need. Being creative while feeling overloaded is no fun. Enjoy:)
Enjoy your time away, we all need a break once in a while. Upon return, enjoy your “Me” time. Once again, we all need an occasional break, even when what we normally do, is what we love to do.
Enjoy your time away…looking forward to fun and exciting things when you return.
Have a great vacation and rest!
