Moose and Turtle on Vashon. Our life on a PNW island. Sun Turtle Studio: seaglass designs. Daily Archives: July 21, 2015. July 21, 2015. Sunday was hot. We rode our bikes to the Vashon strawberry festival, watched a parade in the shade, then biked home to enjoy rootbeer floats in the back yard. Followed by a hike to the beach at the old gravel mine park. More hot and sunny but much needed not-working-on-the-house time. Across the water and through the Kitsap Peninsula and we were at Tiger Lake! Vashon Is...

Moose and Turtle on Vashon. Our life on a PNW island. Sun Turtle Studio: seaglass designs. Daily Archives: July 10, 2015. July 10, 2015. July 10, 2010 was a day that changed the course of my life. July 10 was a Saturday that year, the perfect day for a date to the West Seattle Day’s street fair. The day that Matt and I met. Fast forward five years and we are married, moved to an island to OUR house, waist deep in house and homesteading projects, well-traveled, tan and still just as giddy in love.

Moose and Turtle on Vashon. Our life on a PNW island. Sun Turtle Studio: seaglass designs. August 6, 2015. Dude (our rooster) used to start crowing at 4:30AM.

The days are getting shorter. Time to get going with this paint. (good newsscraping is done! I'd love to hear from you! Enter your comment here. Build a...

Moose and Turtle on Vashon. Our life on a PNW island. Sun Turtle Studio: seaglass designs. August 14, 2015. Yes, dear readers, it is happening! COLOR has appeared on our house! Painting the soffits white has been fun and all, but the real change came when Matt started with the teal yesterday! It looks SO good! I feel very lucky to be married to a guy willing to take the patience to edge with an artist brush and make everything look super professional. And just for fun: our garden. The garden is awesome!
