Summer Time...

Well, summer is here... 

It has been much warmer this past week with temperatures in the mid to high 90's. But, even with the high temperatures during the day, it's still cooling down nicely in the evening.

I'm really enjoying my sunday and hope you are too. I went out to check on the tomatoes and was happy to get a few more cherry and grape tomatoes off the plants. My little miniature roses are looking pretty today as well.

If you have ever looked at my photography blog, you will know we have a dove that nests on top of our spot lights in the back yard. Well, she is back. A little later than last year though. But, I'm sure I will be seeing a baby very soon.

I am also working on new embroidery project. I put aside my ripple blanket to make something very special.

Enjoy your day!

Saturday Morning...

What a beautiful morning it was today. My tomato plants are getting so big (I'm happy about that) and the tomatoes are starting to turn red.  

I got some beautiful flowers from a little friend at preschool... 

 I am working on a new crocheted blanket. It's called a ripple. I found the pattern at Attic 24. I am using the yarn I shared with you here. I did buy 2 more colors to go with them.

Last weekend I made a zipper pouch for my crochet hooks and such...

The inside...

And I found this sweater at the thrift store for $1.00. I am going to be using it for a project in the near future.

Robots...

For Christmas last year, I embroidered pillow cases for my nieces and nephew. Here are a few pictures of the robots I designed and embroidered for my nephew. On the back of each pillow case I put the verse:

"For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7

Spot, the Dog...

Well, I finished what I was working on and I think it turned out really cute.

These are his little legs...

And here he is, Spot the Dog...

The end.
