Whine Alert!!!!

It’s kind of like don’t look at the TV while we show you the Olympic results, but this involves me whinnnnnning!!!!  IT’S TOO DARN HOT….108 for a few days and no cooling down.  Kind of like a blast furnace going….ok, I’m better, thanks!!!

The Dots were here a couple days for a sleepover, always fun.  There’s was lots of playing and swimming in the pool.  Then there was some cleaning I had to do.  Ok, don’t judge me,  but I enlisted Little Dot.  He is really good at dusting the stairs and he even really, really likes doing it.  So it made a yucky job really fun.  Instead of a Dust Buster I have a Dust Buddy :-)!!!!!

Is it only me, but when it comes to getting backs and batting cut and ready for my quilts to be quilted I am a huge procrastinator!!!  Plus, both these quilts have so much white, I clipped and clipped threads from the back but it just seemed I didn’t make any progress.   They are packed up and off to be quilted.

Here we are almost mid month and it’s my turn for the giveaway.  This

 

 

months giftie is this cute summer pillow, not made by me, but a crafter at one of our local handcrafted stores.  All you need to do is make a Christmas gift and link up to Darlene’s blog on August 31st and your name will be in the drawing.  I decided today to make a few simple Ten Minute Table Runners.  I won the gingerbread fabric at quilt camp and the red fabric was 40% off at JoAnns, so three very reasonable  Christmas gifts.  You can find the tutorial here.  Here’s a close up of the gingerbread guys.  They even have a little glitter on them.  Such a fast, easy gift!!!

Wishing you all a great weekend, and thanks again for listening to me whine :-)!!!
