The Burro almost has legs

Getting a late start for posting today. Over the weekend I did bookcase re-arranging starting in the living room and finished this morning with the bookcases in my bedroom. I also worked and Santa ad his burro.
Santa's jacket is almost finished, just needs embellishments of beads ad fringe. Burro will soon have his legs. I know he looks strange but it is the position that he is standing. More stitching on this later today.
I went out to fill the birdbath in front and top off the fountain in the garden. The temps have been lower so not much evaporation. Still hot and in the high 100s but not over 110 this week...so they say.
Yesterday was The Brother Alan's birthday...I did not forget just did not get to do a post. This is the first year that I was unable to call him as he is on a business trip and was in flight part of the day. The countdown to their arrival is getting closer....about 8 weeks away now.
Getting ready to make a Cathedral quilt ornament with this adorable snowman print. One side will be with red and the other with green...for some reason is showing almost black here. Maybe I will get to it today. I will need some trim for it and that will require my leaving the abode! The only jaunt I expect to make is to Safeway for milk.
It seems my emails are arriving where they were sent. It was as simple as deleting them and adding them back in. The Geeks also did a tune up which it hardly needed. So, the electronics are back on track.
I appreciate that you took time to stop by today. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.

Love the donkey. Can't wait to see your ornament.
Is Alan moving to Arizona? That would be wonderful for you! So hot and humid here too. Heat factor 105. In the 80's this week. Thank God. Stay cool.

Santa with the burro is so cute. And I love your fun fabric too. The weather has been horribly hot here in Florida too. I've been gone this last week at a beach reunion in South Carolina with our six best friends from college. The weather was lovely there with the sea breezes. So today I'm catching up with all my blogging buddies in the hot Florida heat. I hope you will come by to see us. RJ@stitchingfriendsforever
