HALLOWEEN LIST STARTS EARLY

Batalphabet by: Glendon Place

I have been online this afternoon... You will not believe it... but, I have a little journal type book that has my list to buy, in the future charts, patterns, and books for stitching . I have a problem.. It is called Not enough money for my WANTS... lol  I have charts listed from years ago... why because designers keep coming out with all these new charts I want before, I can purchase the ones I have wrote down in the Little Floral Book. lol  Will It ever End? I hope not... These are just some I wrote down today....I love that Batalphabet by Glendon Place.

That is just the start of adding to my I WANT list!  Does anyone else makes list? or is it just me..... Can I get all this bought.... Can I even stitch all these in my lifetime.... What will I do..... How will I do it....Tune in each day for The Days Of My Life.   Did you happen to hear that Days of our Lives and other soaps are ending..

Just a Thought........ I think the heat is getting to me!!!

Stash Swap Received!!!

 This came in the mail Today !!!

 Look at all these goodies. I am in the Group Samplermakers. We did a Stash Swap. Something that you would stitch, then you gather supplies up and mail out to your partner.  Sandy was my partner. Great chart by The Workbasket, Quaker Acorn. I love the GA and WDW threads.  I always love linen. Her note was so funny! She included some Fall Stickers and needles. She is from Georgia. It is as hot there, as it is in Alabama. She sent Fall stuff!! Boy, will she be surprised when she opens mine!!  It is a Cold Season!!  We must both have cooler temps on our mind!!  lol I am ready to get to stitching on Fall & Winter stuff !!  Thanks Sandy!!

 This is some fabric I got at Hancocks. It is off their $1.00 a Yard table.  Recycle and the other 5 prints are travel places, - M' Liss - Houston, Hollywood, Hong Kong, London, and Las Vegas.

Now if I can find a VW Van like this to start traveling in, I will be so happy!  I may make it to Las Vegas, Hollywood, and Houston. I will not be able to go to Hong Kong or London... Hubby does not do Boats or Planes.... Just my luck!!  MEN !!!!   urghhh   lol

Take care and keep cool out there!!

I FEEL LIKE A SLUG

                                                           HEATWAVE

This is how we have been keeping cool!  Below are pictures of us at my friend Dawn's Pool in her neighborhood.  Yes we believe in life jackets... In our area there has been a lot of drownings in swimming pools and lakes.  More this summer than ever, and it is only JULY!
As for the heat!! IT IS ONLY JULY!!!   lol

Beautiful 8 year old is my friend Dawn's daughter, Savannah. We call her Sav.  yes... I have 2 grandchildren and Dawn has an 8 year old daughter..She got started later in life. Or did I just start earlier!  lol 

The heat is so hot . What did our forefather's do in the South without air condition? I always thought I would loved to have lived in the south during the 1800's.. I am rethinking that now. I love air conditioning to much!!! 

I am going to go stitch now.. I have 2 designs from Michelle I need to work on!!!  As I put my hand to my brow in my best southern voice say," Ohh... It's so Sticky! "    

Stay Cool today!!!  Till Later.....
