STILL A LITTLE TIME LEFT
to get an entry into my Eleven Questions Give-Away.  You have until 7 pm central time tomorrow - August 1 to enter the give-away.  See my post on July 18 for details.  Your entry must be posted through a comment on that blog post.

MYSTERY SAL FINISH
This is my finish of the Mystery SAL from By The Bay Needleart.  It will be hung in our *vacation home* (which is really a camper on a permanent camping spot).


ILCS SUMMER ORNAMENT EXCHANGE


This is the ornament I designed and stitched for my exchange partner, Colin.  I added magnets to the back so it could be placed on a refrigerator or filing cabinet.  The colors are vibrant and bright, but my camera washed them out.

A LOOK AROUND MY HOME & GARDENS
Despite our hot and dry weather, I still have some flowers blooming.  The Resurrection Lillies are in full bloom, but they aren't as vibrant as they were last year.

Snickers is recovering well and pretty much back to normal (can you tell she still doesn't like getting her picture taken).  Dottie is always protecting her family and home.  All that stuff stacked up in my living room belongs to my youngest daughter.  She's getting ready to return to college in a couple of weeks and we get to live with her dorm stuff stacked in the living room!

Tomatoes ripening and Dottie laying/playing in the grass while we work away in the garden.  Dottie also likes the porch swing!  The orange glow is the huge bonfire a neighbor had over the weekend.  It looks close to that shed, but the fire is really out in the open.  I decided to enjoy the bonfire from the comfort of my porch swing.

  1. Congrats on both of your finishes! They look great.

    My tomatoes are ripening now, too. My flowers look the worst... I've never had flowers looking so bad. Darn weather!

    Great pics of the doggies :)
