Almost Blazing Hot!!! Not on Fire Yet!!

It is hot here in Minnesota. No, not like Texas or Arizona hot. Still hot, 98 degrees and humid and heading towards 100 by the end of the day. We are not used to that here. Winter cold and snow piled to the roof, that we are used to. This not so much, except lately. Mother Nature is really ticked off at us. She must be, she tried to blow us away (tornados), then wash us away (floods,rain) then roast us (fire and heat). I am so sorry Mother we will try and do better we will try to behave...

Meanwhile, I am staying inside as much as possible until this heat wave ends. I found a super blog with tutorials that you might want to check out. Here is one on how to make a cute little beverage or ice cream container wrap.  

This will keep your little fingers from freezing whilst you sip your ice cold drink on the blazing hot patio.

Thank you to Ashley at Make It and Love It.

A Few More Needlework Pieces...

This is what you do in the winter up north! I love songbirds and think these Aunt Martha's patterns are good depictions of the actual birds.

These flour sack dish towels will be for sale in my Etsy shop soon. It's hard to work inside now that the weather is finally getting nice. Enjoy the sunny days!
