Lovely Summer

Dear members,

I just wanted to say HI and hope all are enjoying the summer.  Been way too hot for me, but hey, fall is coming real soon.  Is there anyone attached to this blog that would like to read up on some instructions on free motion stitching?  If so I can load up some links that might help. Also is there anyone that would like to take part in a quilt block exchange????  Just wondering as summer is about to end and then we all hope to have some time to ourselves for a little fun time. Or anyways I sure hope so.  I would like to do another swap using our names and date and where we are from. I have all the old blocks and need a few more to complete the large quilt.  IF not than I shall just make some up and fill in the spots.  Come on you all you can post a comment to the blog if you want to...... ok!  I am not sure just how many people are following my blog as a reader, as the blog will allow only 100 readers to be listed.

I am going to make the blog private once again, as there is not that much traffic here, if anyone reading this has been flowing and not signed up, you will have to make your self a user name and a pass word. Then by all means, write it down and put it in a safe place as I can to see any of your sign in info.  This blog does not work like a word press, which I prefer, but they will not all the free use of PayPal buttons, so I have to use the "blogger" and it does not allow for me to put designs up in a zip file for you to download, thus on the free designs, you will always have to send me an email and tell me what you want. OK  Donations are not mandatory, but a little something along the way does help me.

I am working on a few sales of my designs for this winter, I hope you all will enjoy the sales and free designs in the mean time.  More on this as the time gets closer.

I am getting ready to start some wood work this winter also. I have so many patterns laid out to work on I think I will be busy all winter. lol If anyone might be interested, be sure to keep an eye on the heading on my blog spot for any new pictures coming as I start to work.

I also have a lot of beading to get done, waiting to see what all sold at the fairs when my friend gets back. I will be doing some more earrings, bracelets, and I want to do some head bands all in beads. I do have a lovely Indian neckless to be done, have already done it in size 10 beads, it is really small, so the next one I do will be a little larger bead. I love them and so do many others. I love working on the Indian patterns as I am also part Indian.

Just got to get busy and start making as Christmas is coming soon.
Take care
Margo

Possum where?

Hello all,

I had a huge "possum" in my front yard last night eating the berries that fall from our trees.

WOW is the heat and humidity terrible outside, needless to say, we are staying inside during this time. Even my little guy, "Kricket" wants back in after being out for maybe 5 mins. 😄 Of course, I am right behind him.

Even the chickens are digging holes and laying in them. They have shade, but with all those feathers, just tooooooo hot and humid for them also.

Please remember to bring your outside pets during this heatwave and if you can't do that give them a huge bowl of water and keep them in the shade.

Hope all are having a safe and wonderful summer.

Happy 4th of July

Today is the 4th of July and here is wishing you a happy 4th.  It is so hot and muggy out there, I will stay inside and be cool. 😈

I am planning to do some work on quilting now. All in my yard is doing on its own, meaning it comes up and flowers and then dies. Just love all the flowering bulbs, have to, I say have to spray with "deer be gone" on all that that the deer love as they will eat all the buds and I never see a flower. They drive me nuts. 😓  Vince just saw a mom and two babies this morning on the road in front of our house, had her nose in the air checking, and then crossed the road and went over to the neighbor's yard. SO guess the "deer be gone" works well. 

Hope all have a lovely 4th. Stay safe around fireworks.
