The Cabin

Our family has a cabin up American Fork Canyon near the Tibblefork Reservoir. Every summer for as long as I can remember we have spent time up there. It isn't extravagant by any means, but cozy and very homey. I love it! I haven't been sleeping well because of the pregnancy, so we opted out of staying at the cabin this summer. The beds aren't all that comfortable. Next summer for sure!
My mom, dad, and two youngest sisters were spending a week at the cabin, so Austin and I went up one night for dinner. Alyson and Claire also came up for the evening. I love being up there. The air is cool and fresh and it is a great place to relax! It is the place where I get to do whatever I want. I love doing my crocheting, cross-stitching, reading and movie marathon watching! It's the best!

When we arrived at the cabin I noticed a nest in the eaves by the front door. When I looked a little closer I saw a little mama bird. I don't know if she is sitting on eggs, or little babies. My family, who had been up at the cabin for a day already hadn't noticed it. My sisters and Austin went out onto the porch to look at it and the bird flew out of her nest and dive bombed at Austin. He jumped pretty far. It was funny. Well, it was funny until the same thing happened to me a little while later. :)

One of the things my sisters, mom and I did at the cabin while the men read their books, was make bracelets and earrings. It was a lot of fun to pool our ideas and create fun and pretty jewelry. My sister Alyson and I are in the beginnings of making and selling the jewelry we make on Alyson's website. Her business is called Aly's Creations. She also makes and sells baby hair bows and pacifier clips. I don't know if her website is up and running yet, but when it is I'll put a link to it on my blog so you can check it out!
