Sitting on the dock by the Bay!

Took the kids to the lake this trip - they went fishing (looking for Northern Pike with their Disney Princess and Cars fishing poles!!!) but alas nothing the fish weren't biting - gee I wonder why not! But I can tell you that the Mosquitos certainly were biting!!!

When we went out last night to light a bonfire in the fire pit overlooking the lake Aliya says "How do you turn it on?" - ahhh, do you think I have a couple of city kids???!! Anywhoo It is just so hot today - 95 sizzling degrees, high, high humidity and not even a ruffle of wind...I do believe there is a reason they are called "the dog days of summer".

100 Degrees and thinking of Santa!

I have been working on Halloween and Christmas designs for the last couple of months! In my ever popular alphabet series I am working on the Christmas alphabet at this time - so here is a quick little teaser to look at! Let me know what you think of it so far...

I have "Spooky Manor" ready for release shortly then comes the roll out of Christmas designs - yahoooo!

I will have a Halloween ornament in the special Halloween Ornament Issue of JustCross Stitch magazine that comes out at end of this month so I am excited to see it in print!!!

Happy 4th of July!

May your day be filled with plenty of family, fun and all things red, white and blue today. As the sun sets tonight lets all give thanks to this wonderful country that we live in!
