hot hot hot today..

hey all...

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 the striped table runner that i taught the class for in may... i got the backing on ... and made a Halloween one..  with a matching candle mat..


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..
