It is hot, very hot.

We are still in a "heat advisory" as the temps remain around 110+. We do cool down a bit, at 108! The overnight lows are usually in the high 80s to low 90s. Needless to say, Murphy and I stay indoors. He ventures out only to do perimeter inspections and to take care of business. Ambition to create is pretty low.

I have made 2 new pillowcases. Love the butterfly cuff on this one....

just love the black and white check trim and the bee body on this one. These make 9 pillows on my daybed. What can I say, I like pillows.  Lisa and I keep busy with these and now her new project which I can only show one picture as it will be a gift.

Yes Shabby Roses...... they will be on the lovely silver fabric and the backing is the grey print. Lisa is doing really well with sewing, minimal help from me. Proud of her! Our quilt shop is only open for small classes and by appointment only. We found these fabrics rather quickly and were the only ones in the store at the time. 

Must tell you about The Brother Alan. He not only is an excellent landscaper, a good carpenter,  my personal driver, cooking partner, we now add plumber and electrician to his name! I asked him if we could add a light above my sewing area.  

TA DA!!!! a new bright swag light which is just perfect.   The clear glass shade allows for plenty of light spread.  

I have not been a good blogger lately. Some of it is me feeling out of sorts and the other is blogger recently made some changes and it drives me crazy. They did not ask my opinion or get my permission.  Oh well. It is ever so nice to know people care about me. Yes I am well and Alan and Lisa are careful (they work out of the house), I wear my mask when out. My out time is limited to once a week Alan takes me to the market. He tells me "no talking to anyone and do not touch everything". In and out we go. The other time is Lisa and I may go out on her day off to run an errand. They are taking good care of me. It is so nice to chat with you. I must return to more blogging. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.

Your pillowcases are so cool! As soon as the pandemic is over, I have GOT to make an appointment with you... we'll have so much to catch up on. I am completely over the hot weather. And I'm literally praying for some rain. We are definitely in a Non-soon! Take care, friend.

I thought we were having a heatwave here! I am glad that you are staying safe and have good company looking after you too.

Gracie, I saw people posting 117-120 degrees in areas around Phoenix. It has been miserable. We're not that hot but we have reached 101 and 102. Love your pillowcases, they're looking great. Stay safe and cool!

I'm glad to hear you are still well taken care of! Alan seems so 'handy' to have around ;) And Lisa's sewing looks great, as does yours!
