Hi Friends ~ Here's What's New

Hey y'all!  Hope everyone had a great weekend.  It was so (and still is) so hot here!

Here are a couple of southern sayings about the heat that will give you a chuckle:

It's so hot, chickens have been laying hard boiled eggs!

It's so hot, I saw two trees fighting over a dog!

However, I still managed to do a little bit this weekend other than nap.

Y'all know how much I love framing pieces of dearly loved fabric.  Well, I 

decided to add the card that David included nestled into the beautiful flowers

he sent me for our anniversary last month.  This is now hanging on the wall

in my dressing room.

I went to Hobby Lobby for a bit on Saturday and found these three flannel 

fabrics.  I don't know what I will do with them yet, but I thought they were

too cute to pass up.

I found some cute pink and white striped buttons and added some more

embroidery floss to my growing collection.

Stopped at the library.  Going to the library on a hot summer day really

takes me back to my childhood.  My friend Carolyn and I used to ride our 

bikes to the library and fill our bicycle baskets with as many books as

they would hold.  Then we would ride home and either go to Carolyn's house

or mine and read all afternoon.  Of course, that happened only on the days

we were not at the beach :-)

I am currently reading this book.  The House on First Street is a great

non-fiction account of a woman who buys a fixer-upper in the 

Garden District of New Orleans and begins renovations right before

Hurricane Katrina.  Julia Reed is a fine author and a contributor to

both Vogue and Newsweek.

Renovations are hard enough without a major hurricane and levee

breach!  Read it, you will enjoy.

This is my nice cozy crewel covered chair in the family room.  It's wide

enough for both Bentley and I to curl up in (Bentley is a bit of a chair hog)

and stay cool inside with a good book.

What did you do over the weekend?
