another hot hot day in florida.. 96 with heat index of 104!.. thank gawd for AC and for the pool in the back.. i just got out .. as it looks like the afternoon thunderstorms are about to hit...
so what have i been up in the last few weeks... well... i managed to complete one of the charity quilt tops for the guild.. this is the buckeye beauty pattern... i really like it scrappy.. it came out pretty good.. considering i had a hell of a time with the blocks.. some of them weren't quite the right size.. and that made for some difficulties..
and... i made a bunch of wonder wallets and tissue holders for my best friend in canada.. they match the purse i made for her... and i thought she might like some to give to her mom's up there..
and cross stitch... i've been very busy ... my mermaids of the deep blue are coming along beautifully.. i love the beading on this.. there are tons and tons of them... so she really shimmers...
i did some on my cirque des carreaux too..
and i started a picture for my sister... it's... "Chickens?!".. by Prairie Moon... it's fun and very quick and easy stitching...
i hope to get a few things done in the next week.. as i'm going to NY to visit my sister at the end of the month for a week or so.. should be lots of fun... i haven't been "home" to NY in probably a good 15 years.. i know i will enjoy the family parties... and the cooler weather!.. i am bringing my laptop with me up there so... i might get a chance to blog a bit but it will be on all the FUN stuff we're doing.. and maybe just a little on whichever cross stitch i decide to bring with me...
shey..
