Yesterday morning I finished pressing the items I wanted to photography for my Sunday Blog post--and then downloaded my photos to the computer and got them edited --then I cooked me a nice lunch--ate lunch while reading on the computer--(that's why it's hard sometimes for me to answer comments or to comment on a blog site--I'm eating lunch or dinner while on the computer!!!)
Late afternoon while I was stitching and watching the race--a thought occurred to me and all I could do was laugh---I had completely forgotten to do write the blog post--so I am sorry--but here it is today!! Enjoy!
I got these 4 Christmas designs from Melisa stitched--
along with these 2--and now I do have some of the Candy Cane in upper right hand corner stitched--these are my main Christmas in July projects--and no--I am not sure just what I am going to do with them yet-whether they will be for me to decorate with or will I turn them into gifts--hummm?????
And I think we will get one more set of 4 to do ---
I guess my 'big' Christmas in July project is my new heart applique project--
Why do I love to applique hearts??? also there is the adventure of looking for more fabrics that will make neat heart cut outs--ordered a couple Christmas fabrics on line this week end--fun!!!
And I spent time this past week working on my Country block quilt from Farmhouse-
I was busy picking out and cutting out the squares for the 9-patches for this quilt--want to get the ones we have gotten so far all sewed together before she starts giving us new blocks --probably next Sunday so I still do have the rest of this week to finish it--hopefully!!
And Friday we got our 'heart' of the week pattern and here is mine--
I still need a little bow at the center of the big heart background--this one was a fun one to do--
And here is where I am so far on my Counted cross stitch project--
And yesterday I did an order to 123Stitch company for 2 new patterns and the cloth to do them along with a couple buttons, of cats and hearts--plus a couple ladybugs for this cross stitch--so will have something to look for ward to in the mail!!!
And I am amazed that my Impatient plant is still alive and just one bloom after another--
Looking at it just makes me smile--and that Thyme plant--well--all I can say is it's still alive as well--but sure is slow growing from the seeds-
It might actually be a big plant some day!!!????
And just another photo of a couple of my plants--!!
We have had almost daily thunder-storms--and a couple have produced some beautiful rainbows afterwards-
This one was a big one-so here is the center part--the right and left ends of it-
And this one was a couple days later-just part of one and much lower!!!
Well--I need to go put things away that I bought at Walmart this morning--we have a free small Van service here on Monday mornings--one week it goes to a Super Walmart and the next week it goes to Aldi's-but I go next door first to JoAnn's and look around!!
HAPPY STITCHING THIS WEEK--OH AND IF YOU STARTED A CHRISTMAS IN JULY AND IT'S NOT FINISHED--GUESS WHAT YOUR GOAL THIS WEEK IS--FINISH IT!!!
HUGS, DI

It was a Happy Monday here at your place!!
Too funny! I agree on the bed being the best rememberer! Have a great week.
Your holiday hearts are so sweet. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that completely missed something on their to do list. Happy stitching this week. Stay cool and dry!
I can relate about forgetting to do a post. I finally did one tonight.
Love your hearts and as usual lovely stitching projects and cross stitch.
It is always such a joy to visit your blog, Di. It is always choked full of cuteness. Love you Country quilt blocks as well as the darling heart blocks. I am so excited to see your Christmas doodles. I am so very honored that you are stitching along with me. Have a great week and Happy August. .
