Hot Hot Hot

My kind of place in Seattle Washington !

Hot today outside. I think they said 106 w/heat index. I worked outside with the 2 man crew today. Dewayne took one with him to go back to work and I was left with one guy. We now have a pile of scrapes to haul off in the dump truck, along with other stuff I piled up. LOL I started throwing everything that I saw in that pile... I lost out on the bid for Rock next to the door. There is siding there now. I will try to take pictures of it all the way around tomorrow.
Just a short note before I turn in.. Need to get up early here to beat the heat.. Oh, By the way.. Seen on Weather channel today, It barely made it to 68 degrees in Seattle WA.
Oh, But to be in Seattle... ahhhh

Mobile Home Makeover Back On Track

Front door area. I want to put some kind of fake stone on that wall.

Well... It is Monday. DH is at home today, why? He has a crew of 4 helping him put the siding on the trailer. I have been so excited! 2 man crew came out last Monday and did the front. DH and I did the front end, around the bay window on Saturday and Sunday.. Then today I awoke to a crew of 4 plus him banging and making all kinds of loud noise. That is OK siding is getting finished. I have been working in the house all morning. Weatherman said 105 with heat index.. I don't do HOT well at all. I did get up and mow the yard this morning before it reached 88 at 9:00 am... Summer Is Here In Alabama !!! I often wish at this time of the year I lived in Canada or Alaska...Somewhere more north and cooler.


Rebel Girl is doing her usual morning nap in front of the vent that has no air coming out. But she is waiting for it...



Till later... Have a cool day!

Cross Stitch Love & More

I finished LOVE PILLOW !!! This is the yarn project. I used 7 count fabric and groovy yarn to stitch this. LOL I then took the yarn and made tassels. There is a Peace Chart that goes with this Love Chart. http://www.stitchingthenightaway.com/FreePatterns/free_cross_stitch_miscellaneous.htm

Above is link to freebie charts.

I also finished 2 little hanging pillows. These are 2 Lizzie Kate charts.

That is all that I have been doing lately !!! Till later......

Pretty Subjects !!!

These pretties were stolen from my mother's bush. I am hoping she will not notice the almost bloom less bush in her front yard. LOL Hey... She said I could cut some lavender... After I cut it I walked around her yard. She has a beautiful yard... I just need to get my butt over there and pressure wash all that I promised to do for her. Here is a before picture of The Bush...

I did cut some lavender. She has alot of it. I am going to dry it and put into my cross stitch pillows. Let me tell you... My car smelt so good coming home. I just sang with the 70's channel on my sirus and smiled all the way home. Here is some of mom's lavender:

That is a before picture too.. I did random cuttings, so it would not look bald. LOL Here is the little bit of lavender I got.

While I was doing all this burglarizing, Amos , The Cat... Was rolling on his back trying to get my attention to scratch his belly.. He is Mom's Huge Fat Cat... LOL

I can't believe I didn't think to get a picture of him... Dumb thing tho.... I opened the door to let him go into the Air Conditioned House... He just looked up at me and rolled over again... Stupid cat ! I gave him an opening to go in a take a cool nap... While I was cutting all this... He disappeared. I started to leave... Went around to close the back of the SUV... Guess who was sitting in the back? Amos... LOL

I said You ready to go? He then jumped out... All 30 or more lbs of him... He is so funny looking .. A little bitty head on a great big fat body... LOL Why am I laughing... People look at me and probably think the same thing... LOL

That is my time with Amos.. Great to enjoy the sun, fun and the love of a cat... Miss my Sli Cat. Till tomorrow, I should have groovy yarn project finished....

China Smut

I think we can do without China!!
If ya'll leave a comment after today, you will notice I have put the Word Verification back up. I have received some Chinese Smut in my comments. No, I am not interested in Little Chinese girls. This gets me mad.. I didn't know what it was, till I clicked on the ..... (dots) after the funky writing. It goes to a web site for little girls wanting to talk to me without their clothes on.. Sick. You can be assured that their blog they are connected to, has been reported. Some sick people in this world.. China already imports just about everything we buy. I don't want their smut !!!

Till later...

Checking In

Just checking in. I am still here lurking around the blogs. I do have some things to show. Will try to get them posted asap. Please stay tuned. I have not forgotten to post...lol I also need to start back stitching on this... Till later

Cross Stitch Update

This is the surprise I am working on. I used yarn because I want it to look 60's. I have other ideas for this finish. Keep checking back to see them.

I have been stitching other things too. Phebe Brown 1702-1712 by Carriage House Samplings. This is a quick stitch.. I hope... lol

So many things need to be done around my house. I don't want to do anything... Has been a rainy week here. I think that Seasonal (S.A.D) thing has something to do with it. Cloudy and Rainy = Bluey.

I have dishes calling me from the sink... yes, sink.. Dishwasher is old and doesn't want to wash the dishes right anymore.. So this Dishwasher has to do the job... lol

Till Later.....
