I THINK I AM IN SLOW MODE--

 Or at least it feels that way--I mean here it is --half of  August is gone-gone- gone--and it seems I don't have alot to show--every night when I go to bed and quickly think about what I did that day--I wonder how come it took me all day-- to do only what I did do!!!!!

Ok--so for this week--

I got the '2' wool blocks stitched in the monthly BOM from Attic heirlooms--

We had a Hen to and a Rooster to do--done!!!

And this months Roundabout from Melisa--

I got the embroidery done and decided on a purple Dresden plate border--(this is the 2nd border I made for this one--somehow the first one came out too big--sigh!!!

and I got the little cross stitch monthly Tiny House finished--from Melisa-

Sewing that braid trim on around the house takes about an hour--it is worth it--but-sometimes at the time of the stitching I am not always happy about it--but I can only be upset with me as it is me who decided to do this trim!!!!!!!!!!---I --forgot that I would have to do this trim--12 times--only 4 more times to go--!!!  My little lighted tree is getting full!!

and more of the color yellow jewel hearts got stitched up--

my favorites in this batch is, of course, the little chick one and little yellow duck one!!!

And two blue basket blocks have been appliqued--

I have more prepared to stitch and some more designs to play with for this quilt--!!!!

And I have -- once a week --been working on outline work on this cross stitch--it is my Sunday slow stitch project--

And a new squirrel ran into my Cross stitch time--

This is a free stitch from Primrose Cottage--can you guess why I had to do this one????

If it's because of the two little lambs--you are right--all this stitching cause of two little lambs--Di you are crazy!!!!

And one more little sweater is done--

I have done a couple others--but they didn't ask for their 'photo' to be taken for some reason???

Monday morning on our Van we went to Walmart--and on Thursday  went on the local bus to our little Publix for  a couple items and to do a return to Bealls--on the ride home-we had a bus driver who would speed up and then slam on the brakes--over and over--all the way back which is probably only a 2 mile or less route--but lots of "bumps" and rumble strips --and my cart was heavy with 4 gallons of water--so my body got pulled and jerked all around--I hurt for 2 days after that trip--what is wrong with these drivers???????    So I did get out and about 2 mornings--in the heat--but with some sunshine--which I love--cause once I get home--dear sweet home--I don't go again--unless I have to check mail and do some trash--OH talking about 'food'--what are suppose to eat????  I have always felt for the last 30 years I have ate a fairly clean diet--but---one of the things I recently got into eating was the Boulder regular potato chips in the Avocado oil--thinking that was far better than the seed oils for the other chips--I have always loved my potato chips--I have noticed at times that I felt the taste of them was--off--but --still--and now I find out it's not a 'safe' oil--may not even be Avocado oil on them--grrrrrr!!

WHY IS ALL OUR FOOD FILLED AND COATED WITH POISION--what is the matter with our government and the companies that make our food?????  all I can say is--some day they will have to answer to God!!!!---sorry about my rant--!!!

BACK TO GOOD THOUGHTS AND PLANS FOR THE REST OF THE SUMMER OR FALL--WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON--

WITH HUGS, LOVE, AND BLESSINGS, DI
