THE END--OF ANOTHER MONTH

 in the year of 2025--we are now saying Good-bye to the month of August--!!!  It is sunny here in the Sunshine state and a bit less humid than it has been for the last couple months--But is hard to realize that we will turn the calendar to September in a few hours --and that means the start of 3 big Holidays--so get your Santa hat--or Witches hat on and let's fly---

I have another finished quilt--well-wall hanging is more the term, I guess!!!

This was one of Jenny E. patterns and am sad to say that she recently stopped blogging--I do wish her well in whatever is happening with her and her family--she is missed, she gave us many, many great quilt patterns and blocks over the last 16 years--

Here is some of the flower blocks I have appliqued in the last week or so--

And I believe a couple more have been done since this photo and this week I got the fabrics and such ready for more blocks--with a total of 20 blocks so far out of the 22 in the book--these are really fun to stitch--

And --I got the other book in the mail yesterday--

And in this one the flowers again came from old newspaper designs --but she also gives you 3-4 different basket blocks for using the flowers in and a clay pot idea that was cute--so while I am working on the other flower blocks I will have to decide how I want to do the next one????

On the Cross stitching front--

I have kept busy--have done a bit more than when I took this photo--I am over to the really tall beehive -but this hive has alot of stitching--plus there is still another beehive beside that one--so still have a bit of work to do on this one!!

And another hat is knitted--

And another hat was started yesterday afternoon and evening--I am basically  using up small balls of leftover yarn--this is heavier yarn and left overs from yarn I used to use from Hobby Lobby to make my baby sweaters-

And why is it I seem to have to have '2' projects in the knitting-- in the making--I always have '2' sweaters on needles and now I seem to think I have to have '2' hats--silly me!!!!

And I don't know if I showed you one of the $1 Library books that I got the last time I was at the Library--

and here is the inside pages--

I am happy to have this one in my small recipe book collection--though I doubt that I will ever make anything from it!!!

And here is the quilt--wall hanging--that I am hand quilting on now--

Not alot happened this past week--on Monday we had the Van trip to the larger Dollar Tree and bigger Publix--At the Dollar Tree--the couple things for Fall decorating was $1.50 each--

and on Tuesday--Carolyn and I went to the little Pubix for a few things--yep--2 different Publix in 2 days!!!!!!  Then it has just been here at home--working away on quilts and knitting!!!

I have bought 2 Orchids--so now need to study how to care for them and did order a couple things for their care--but have no idea if I can keep them blooming and alive????????????????

HAVE FUN WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS ON THIS HOLIDAY WEEK END--OR JUST ENJOY SITTING AND WORKING ON SOME STITCHING--I WILL BE STITCHING--MOSTLY!!

HUGS, DI
