Is It October Already?

It is still so hot! I'm ready for the cooler temperatures that are supposed to arrive toward the end of the week. In the 90's again today, though.

I finished putting the binding on Crane the other day. He has a little bead for an eye, but it doesn't show up too well on the black & white dot fabric. All said and all done (as the auctioneer says) on this project.
Laddie's Birthday on Friday.
Erin and the grandkids are coming this afternoon. I spent most of yesterday cleaning up after having let things go for the past week due to all of the activities-- some serious like the trip to El Dorado to see Aunt Mary, some annoying and frustrating, and some pleasant like Laddie's birthday on Friday and a Sunday spent down at Raft Bayou. Because rain was predicted (but didn't materialize--bah!), I also mowed and edged the yard in 93 degree heat and high humidity. Things are now fairly clean and organized, and a trip to the grocery store is on the agenda.


I love the shape of these bags (Sube Sacs), and Kris La Flame has a great tutorial with pictures and easy to follow instructions.
