Okay I admit to a certain impatience for the next season (if my last post didn’t make that obvious). Mother Nature isn’t back from Summer vacation just yet.
Those are my heritage roses (I didn’t manipulate the photograph at all I just leaned over the edge of the deck and took the picture – I’m not sure why the background is so black looking) and the temperature at 4:00pm yesterday afternoon. Sigh. I want it to be 57 degrees out. I have sweaters, dammit.
The observant reader will notice the dead rose in the center of the cluster ~ this is a good shot believe you me. The entire rosebed is in dire need of deadheading. Every weekend I say I’m going to get out there and do it and yet so far I haven’t. Maybe this weekend. Ha!
Right now I’m working on the binding for my September quilted table topper. My goal is to have a different table topper for each month of the year. The top for September’s was put together by my sister Nicole. She whipped it out in about 35 minutes where it would have taken me about three and half years. My job is to sew on the binding.
Here is it in progress – I call it "Back to School." The colored fabrics are 30’s reproduction fabrics in every conceivable color. I just thought it was so cheerful and it makes me feel nostalgic – kind of how I feel in September. When it is finished and in place I’ll update with another picture.
Okay – here is it in it’s rightful place. Now can’t you picture yourself sitting there eating graham crackers dunked in milk and working on your Social Studies homework?
