Under a Blue Moon

Decor, cooking, organization, all the pretty things

Lazy, lazy days

Lazy HOT days I might add.  It’s about a bagillion degrees here in California.  It’s all I can do to stay awake.  The heat just drains me.  I need to sit on the porch in my slip and drink an icy cold mint julep.

We had guests for the past few days – hence the slowness around here.  My dad, sister and brother in law came up for a few days.  And we just ate and drank and lazed and then started all over again.

This is the thermometer at 12:45pm today.  100 degrees.  And it’s not even the hottest part of the day.   I think it got up to 107 degrees yesterday.

That thermometer is in the SHADE – did I mention that?

Okay enough whining about the heat –

I said no more quilting posts but the tabletopper above is my July one – my sister Kate made it for me using 30’s reproduction fabrics that I had collected.  This was back when I pretended I couldn’t quilt myself and would get my sisters to feel sorry for me and make them for me.  Guess that gig is over. 

I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July – even if you don’t live in the states – I hope you had a perfectly lazy day, eating fabulous food and enjoying the company of your loved ones.  That’s exactly what I did.

    I love the topper and the flag centerpiece! Beautiful!

    It’s a tad warm here, but not to 100’s yet. Do you have humidity? We do!!

    I totally understand the whining about the heat. I’ve been doing that myself here in the San Joaquin Valley. It’s even too hot to sew. I love your 4th of July table. That quilt is really nice!
