Yesterday, I thought I might get some sewing in but it was not meant to be but I did get to talk to my daughter longer than usual which is so enjoyable. I also talked to Grayson as he was excited to tell me about pre-school which he started last week. I did get some ironing done though and listened to The House at Riverton which is very enjoyable and a well done audio book.
I found more fabric for a project I'm planning. I needed more blues and I found some pretty ones I forgot I had.
I also found a real surprise that I had forgotten about. I had gotten a plastic bag full of what I thought were fabric scraps at the Thrift Store and I "uncovered" them yesterday and pulled them out and they are hand stitched quilt squares! I paid $1.79 for the bag of them! What a treasure! I'll post more after I press them as they were all squished together.
Fall is coming!!!! I'm so excited! By Saturday there will be cooler temps and rain tonight and tomorrow......cozy knitting, quilting, crocheting, fireplace, cocoa, soup weather is coming! And as they say "pumpkin everything"! LOL!
Leaves are starting to fall, my sugar maple is starting to turn color...........
We still have lots of blooming going on though.............
The mums are starting to come alive...........
My monkey grass is blooming.............
daisies.......(the above picture was of zinnias)
The vines are loaded with tomatoes...........
and even my garlic chives are blooming............
Enjoy the anticipation! Happy Trails!
Your Monkey Grass sure has a pretty bloom. Quilt squares imagine that! Good for you:)
ReplyDeleteI should have brought some of those flowers inside! Duh...
DeleteHey SIA,,,,
ReplyDeleteHow lucky are you to find the added surprised of quilt squares in the bag of fabric..
I can honestly say, I am looking for Autumn to arrive... and hopefully some rain too,,, right now we are covered in smoke from yet another fire that broke out earlier today up by Yosemite... Enjoy your beautiful flowers and some relaxing needle work projects... hugz >^..^<
Hi Katmom! I am so sorry to hear about the fires again. I think we thought it was done as they haven't been mentioning it on the news....too many other horrible events probably. I pray you are safe and the smoke isn't bothering you. It is amazing how far that smoke travels. Far Side said it was up in MN even!
DeleteSo many abandoned, unfinished projects can be found in thrift stores. I'm sure you will put the squares to good use. love the blue fabrics. Everything sure is looking pretty in your neck of the woods. Horrible humidity here and a monumental dust storm in some of the surrounding countries.
ReplyDeleteI always wonder about the person that made it or partially made it. I wish we could have special vision to look at things and see their history, quilts, houses, people. It might be difficult but I always think that knowledge is understanding. There was a dust storm on the news where 5 people died. I can't imagine if you were caught out in one. Our humidity was high but now the cold front and rain came through and it is just perfect. I'm pretty sure that was the end of our summer....thank goodness! LOL! Ii was a hot one. Take care and stay cool!
DeleteI had to laugh at Tammy's comment. Some of my abandoned projects have been taken to the thrift too, ha ha! Those blooms look great!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking there might be some of mine going also! LOL!
DeleteOur temperatures are getting cooler, too. After this oppressive heat, I am finally feeling more ambitious. Can't wait to see future projects!
ReplyDeleteYes, the heat can take the energy right out of you! If I didn't have AC I would get nothing done all Summer! LOL!
DeleteI like how everything is blooming strong in your backyard. I had bought small, organic herbs from Dale's but they didn't last. I'm thinking maybe cooler weather will help and I may try from seed.
