Another amazing fundraising year for Walk MS! This year we raised an incredible $3500.

Thanks so much to everyone that donated!

Check out pictures from the event and the video Phil made.

So only took about 6 months but I finally finished the Crepe sew-along. Check out the finished dress. The underlining was tedious but necessary because I was able to stitch the arm facings to the underlining. No idea how I would have got those to behave otherwise. Very happy with the dress and looking forward to making another one.

Decided to give Project 365 a go for 2011. I have a feeling most of the pictures I’ll post will be of Bebe. So far haven’t missed a day — haha.

Very excited for my first sew-along with Gertie using Crepe from Colette Patterns! Pattern arrived yesterday and has instructions in a mini-book which is very cute. I’m still deciding on fabric — I want to use a print so the dress isn’t boring but worried the prints I’m looking at will be too much… Hmm.

Mt Baldy via Ski Hut Trail

Nagging injuries and a long, tough hike the week before had us wondering if we’d actually be able to complete the hike but somehow we made it.

Definitely our hardest hike due to the elevation gain — summit at over 10,000 feet! Had a nice break at the top and in great spirits on the way back down via the Devil’s Backbone Trail.

Phil’s dad asked us to take the ski lift down for the last 3 miles and it probably was a good idea since I could barely walk for the next couple of days. Ha!

Time: 5:53 hours
Distance: 7.21 miles
Elevation Gain: 4,019 ft

Snakes and a New Tire

Last weekend was our second camping trip to Cuyamaca Rancho State Park. It’s a great location. Just a few feet away from two of our favorite trails Cuyamaca Peak and Stonewall Peak. It’s also a good location to camp for trails in the Laguna area which are only a short drive away.

The first day we decided to hike Stonewall Peak in the late afternoon after setting up camp. Had a great hike and ran into our first rattlesnake. I’ve hiked in Cuyamaca and Laguna for years and this was the first time I’d seen a snake. Phil tried to get a picture but it rattled its tail and moved on.

The second day we headed over to the PCT and parked at Pioneer Mail. Walked a short hike over to Kwaaymii Point and then back south along the PCT to Garnet Peak. On our way back we saw another snake! Then at the car noticed a screw in my tire. Thankfully the tire held up for our trip back down the mountain.

No more hiking for a few weeks as Phil has a half marathon in August and we’ll be in serious training mode. Looking forward to the fall with cooler temperatures for hiking and camping. We might even try backpacking into our next campsite. Woo!
