Our friend Carrie and her mother who was visiting from California stopped by with hugs.(Carrie knit the sweater she is wearing)
With the help of many friends and my children, we have cleaned up the shop. The building has been sold and should close in a few weeks. How grateful am I that the buyers wanted the fixtures. I have kept very busy trying to figure out what to do first. Someday I will be able to sew. Mary, Zephie and I did go on Shop Hop last Friday. We managed to make it to 8 shops - and a great time was had by all. It was fun to see it from a shoppers view, but only a few of them measured up to what we have done in the past!!! I do however, question Mary's driving. Like the bumper sticker reads - "I have brakes but I don't use them!"
Fathers Day was spent with my children and 2 lovely granddaughters. We got in a quick game of Scattergories while barbecuing - dinner was yummy! I even made a lemon creme pie!
Here is 3 month Lilly giving you a wave!
Katy, Rob, Lilly, Winter & Stacy.
If you have waited until this week - as I have - to find a few flowers for your planters, then you know what I mean when I say slim pickins! I wanted just a little bit of color by the front door and a bit on the patio. Zephie stopped by with a grape tomato plant on Tuesday, so I finished planting my garden that night - yes it was dark and I needed the flash! I hope it will grow with my last two flower plants in with it - proven winners - we'll see!
Today, I cleaned my carpets - UGH! Well at least I tried. Somethings just don't clean up like we want them too. Then I thought I would use the hand scrubbing tool to clean my car seats - what a mistake that was. They honestly look worse - its' time for seat covers in the old VW.
So as you can see - I really have kept busy - but I have got to settle down and get to work on the Gammill. After my hair cut tomorrow, I am going to find some lights that will be installed over the machine. Then the machine quilting will begin.
Good night for now - enjoy the summer evenings - Kaye
