And that is exactly where I have been! I flew out to Phoenix for a week to visit my son.

 He lives on the west side in Avondale and goes to school at UTI. It was a wonderful week of visiting, playing mom and even cooking for him! While he was at school/work, I did some work on my Dear Jane (or not!) blocks. I got 9 of them finished, only one short of my goal. My son doesn’t have much furniture so I mostly worked sitting on the floor. Here is my set up:

I highly recommend the June Tailor cutting mat/ironing surface. I got mine with a coupon at JoAnn’s a while back and never used it until this trip. It is the perfect item for traveling!

While he was home, I helped a bit with a small project on his ’77 Trans Am. This time he was replacing door panels:

We also spent some time exploring the desert! I loved it! Here are a few of many pics I took there:

The colors and textures were amazing! I took a number of close ups of textures and I will post those later this week.

Until next time….
