Yup! and I ate the entire lot of them!!!! MMMM!!!!!Well, I am a little further behind than Lisa. She likes "duller" colors (her words) so I have been pulling from my stash...
a sneak peek! I had to sew with the lights off yesterday!!! It was just too hot to turn them on!
Today is still very hot and muggy. Even so, I finished the mowing of the front lawn (for some reason, the mower pooped out on Messy Marvin halfway through the job) and planted some flowers in the front garden...
..before you know it, I was weeding, trimming branches, sweeping... phew! What was I thinking?!!!!! I was soooooo mighty hot!!!!!!

But.. there is nothing like a little color to brighten things up....
Speaking of color (me not you).... I have some colorful photos from our trip to the 'Burgh!

I've been seeing a few of these little quilts around and I am thinking I might need to try to make one myself. the cherries are pretty darn cute!
ReplyDeleteI am feelin ya Lisa, it is soooo hot. I just sit naked on my bed with 3 fans directly on me, running to take a cols shower every hour or so. I wonder if I could figure out how to embroider in the shower, oh a cold bath. Now thats an idea!
ReplyDeleteThat cherry quilt is darling! I have a little thing for cherries myself. I even have a tattoo of some. I love you Pittsburgh photos. Looks like you all had a great time! Hope you can stay cool. Love Stacy
Love the Mini Cherry quilt - looks perfect for you! Hope things cool down for you - we are getting our first taste of colder weather here - I'll swap with you any day!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you are making. What a nice giveaway you received. How sweet!
ReplyDeleteHey There, What a fun post! I especially liked the green picture. It was really vivid!

Out in Oregon...40's at night...barely 60 during the day. Walked on the beach and my fingers were numb...it's beautiful, though. Cute cherry quilt! The cherries here are fab!
ReplyDeleteI also just love cherries! Each year the physio next to DH's surgery gives us a huge box of the most spectacular cherries for Christmas. They pack them so perfectly all in lovely little rows ... yum! Only 6 months to go :)
