IT WAS A HEART WEEK

 I believe it was good week to work on hearts--

Though it was a hot week and I waited all week, along with all the plants, trees and flowers --we waited all week for the promised the rain--that everyone around us got--we only got 2 small rain storms here--so we are still 5" short of where we should be on our water table!!!!  and the week was very humid--though again we are lucky right here in our spot to usually have a nice breeze--though we won't say some days how hot that breeze is!!!!

I spent a couple days sewing my pink heart quilt together--

And to add a 'bit' of 'fun' to it--I added 4 different prints here and there--

one block is sewing items with pink in it, one is pink flamingos (lower bottom left side) one is cute cat faces and one is pink bicycles--!!

The other heart project was this months 'bom' heart from Melisa--

I do have to say--that in wanting my bumble bees to filled in--I had a 'job' and some tearing out to do--and yes a bit of my hair too--but they finally behaved and I think they look a 'bit' like bee's now!!

And here is where these half triangle blocks went--

they are now--

I plan to put lattice around this and then a border--and it will probably be finished as a baby quilt donation--

And 2 more little sweaters are finished--

The top one is done in Hobby Lobby all cotton yarn and the bottom one is done in Hobbii yarn--I think once all the hobby lobby yarn is pretty much used up ( and  I am on the last skein of variegated yarn from them--though I do have some balls of solid colors ) I will stick with the Hobbii yarn this is a lighter all cotton yarn and is easier to  knit with--and right now I have a nice stash of it!!!

Been hand quilting on the large heart block quilt and am on the last block of it--so just need to finish it and do the outside border--so moving right along here--

My neighbor problem is still going on--of course he says he is not doing anything in his apartment--lair--I have discovered on the week ends he does it around 7-9 am--1-2 pm and again 8-9 pm--I just get my eyes to quilt hurting and my stomach to calm down and he does it again--(this he does mostly week ends--when no staff is here to catch him--plus they have to have a reason to go into his apartment to catch him at it, and that not be the reason--this is a 'hard' type drug he is smoking--nothing I want or should be breathing----darn,stupid thoughtless people!!!

I did order and got a second air purifying machine for this little apartment--but I can still smell it and am still having side effects--

and so goes life--just rolling along---just keep stitching , di!!!

******************

AND NOW--

look at a photo I happened to catch out my window mid week--

the sunset is reflecting in the apartment windows--can you see the blue sky in some and the pink-orange clouds in some--just got 'lucky' and looked up from my stitching and seen it--so grabbed the camera-I have seen reflections before--but nothing in the 4 years since this building opened like this one!!!!

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

do you know it is better to drink something 'hot' on a hot day than something cold--a hot drink will actually cool you down better, and faster---my parents met back in the 40's when they both worked in a factory that made milk bottles--and their manager told them to never drink a cold beverage when they got over heated while working --!!! Even when both my Mom and my Dad stopped working there they remained friends with Andy and his wife Cora--they were Uncle and Aunt to us kids as we came along!!!  Andy loved my Mom's home made biscuits!!!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL THE FATHERS--

KEEP COOL--IT'S GONNA BE A HOT ONE THE NEXT FEW DAYS ALL THE WAY FROM TEXAS UP AND ACROSS TO THE OCEAN ON THE EAST COAST--

HUGS, DIANE

Yep--it was fun to always check for a quarter--
