Not much sewing going on

 Hello Friends

Thought I would give a little update on what has been going on in my life and why there isn't much sewing happening.  I am in the middle of house projects.  Still have a lot to do but I am doing a little at a time.  My front flower beds looked terrible.  The weeds were so high!

I worked in the early morning before the sun was too high.  It was very hot and humid outside. This only took about an hour and a half.

I decided to plant some hydrangeas.  They are a white/pink variety.  Can't wait to have flowers.

I also pulled the weeds in the flower bed to the right of this picture.  And I mulched.  Didn't get a picture of the weeds before.  But it does look a lot nicer.

With the temperatures so high, I have not felt like sewing.  And of course I have too much on my plate in that aspect.  I have lots of fabric and patterns just sitting waiting to become a quilt.  Just no desire right now.  Then, Lori Holt is doing her Red Sampler Quilt Along and I have decided to try it too.  I don't care much for red so I am making mine in blue.  I have finally gathered the fabric and hope to sit and get the blocks cut out soon.  And a friend asked me to pattern test for her.  Just got that fabric on Friday.  Need to get that going this week.

Oh, and did I mention my sister will have a big birthday on Saturday and the whole family is coming to my house to celebrate?  I love it though.  It will be a lot of work but it is so worth it.

And in other news:  I have a new grandpuppy!

A few weeks ago my son was Facetiming me and said he had something important to tell me.  He moved the phone and showed me this beautiful puppy.  Her name is Mika and she is 13 weeks old and completely blind.  She is living her best puppy life.  She doesn't know she can't see because she never could.  It is fun to watch her follow the voices she is familiar with.  We had to stop Facetiming last week because when she hears my voice she gets confused as to why she can't feel me and then she cries.  I can't wait to have her over to my house this weekend.  Big sister Roxy is not so sure of her yet but is trying to adjust.

That is about all I have for you at this time.  I hope my sewing mojo appears soon so I can share more with you.

Enjoy the longest day of the year!  It's all downhill after today. :)

Blessings
