Happy Belated 4th!

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend full of fun, fireworks, family and friends. This was definitely a crazy weekend for me with lots of ups and downs. Unfortunately, Miami's weather was a real wash out for the fireworks display that I was hoping to see with my bf, nonetheless we made the best out of the day! Here's my weekend in a nutshell:

I got a chance to complete a set of new gals for a custom order I had pending. This is one the gals. Isn't she sweet?

I sewed a set of 6 burp cloths all on Saturday morning. I love the yellow gingham and aqua prints I found, it contrasts great with the yellow chenille.

I'd been pining for strawberry shortcake and this recipe was quick, easy, and absolutely yummy! The only thing I tweeked was the amount of milk (start with half a cup!). It was a perfect 4th of July dessert!

On Sunday, my bf competed in a hot dog eating contest. I love the before and after pics. He was so pumped up at the start, but after the 5th or 6th hot dog he looked miserable. Amazingly enough, he got 2nd place (he ate 9 dogs)!

Tell me about your 4th! I'd love to hear how you spent your weekend! Sue
