Let me try this again it has been another hot one but relief is on the way. I went to Lowe's today and bought a new houseplant that is pink. No direct sunlight for it though.

Watched the race in Dover and heard about JohnForce's terrible wreck but he isn't hurt as bad a they first thought.

Dancing with the Stars is on tonight I have been looking forward to it.

I received my gifts from my secret pal at Frosty's forum, that is what the photo is.

I am also in a swap at the Parlor for Harvest and sent the stuff to a girl in Vancouver but no one has heard from her for over a month so I don't know what is going on they are checking to find out.

I have a really nice lady I am swapping links with over at the Mania it is hard to find things for clothing since I don't crochet clothes but I hope she likes the links I sent.

It is has been a nice day still too warm for September but at least it is not humid. I have finally gotten some of my projects done and have started another doily in pink. It is the Dove doily.

Our neighbor across the street has the nicest dog a mixed breed named Chip and he supposed to be put to sleep because of his bad hip. It makes me upset I did see him limping a little but I don't think he was in pain. This dog has the most pleasant expression and seems so happy I hate to see him go but if he is suffering I understand.

The trees are just starting to turn color and won't be all down until November it takes forever for the maple tree.

We had cheese dogs for supper not very hungry. Will make a coconut pie for tomorrow and dd visit.

This is the doll I finished for dd her room is in purples.

Another beautiful day here in the neighborhood sunny and not too hot. Beautiful blue skies. I talked to my oldest friend here in Columbus today it has been awhile but we made up for it on the phone. She doesn't live very close but we try to keep in touch.

I went to Hobby Lobby to buy some things and got some thread 3 balls on sale for 1.17 each, a wooden tray, and a set of brushes for 3.99. I didn't have any small good brushes so now I do but they are cheap ones. I want to learn to paint on wood better and there is a lot to learn. It's hard to find patterns on the internet but I have gotten a few.

I am on my last book from the library so I will be going Tuesday to get a lot more I especially like Luanne Rice's books I have read a few of them and they are so interesting. Also Belva Plaine.

This is the pumpkin I painted last week it turned out good. My DH cut it out for me. The girls at Frosty Friends forum have inspired me to keep going LOL.

Good Wednesday here

We are having some great weather now only 70 deg. Was in 40's this am. I finalllllyyy received the 2 doll heads I ordered from South Dakota it only took 19 days but what the hey. Anyway I have the started the yellow and purple doll for DD. She will be surprised.

Our new TV for kitchen is not satellite friendly so we have to use two remotes but hey nothings perfect. It is a cute TV and can be heard in 5 languages.

We went to Bob Evans' for supper and I had their Chili-cheese salad and it was good. They also have pumpkin bread now for the fall.

This is our Cairn terrier Maggie and this is where she hides when it storms. She is such a good girl.

That's it folks!

These are my cherry colored zinnias I had never grown them before and they did so well. I bought the plants from an Amish man near Plain City he has a small nursery near his house.

It has been a rainy day mixed with some sun and very humid. We have gotten almost 3" so far, we really needed it.

Had a roast today with carrots and potatoes. Real good. Had breakfast at Frisch's same thing I always get LOL.

This is my pumpkin filet doily I made last week. It turned out good I got the pattern from Cozy over at CrochetPlus.

Did some yard work this week moved some things around.

It is cloudy today supposed to have t-storms sometime then a big cooldown.

DD is coming later to have pizza and chocolate cake she asked me to bake. She likes to eat here a lot.

9/5

It has been hot again but not too bad as far as humidity. We are waiting on the Maytag repairman (no joke) to fix the dishwasher it was on the recall list to have it fixed free.
I have almost finished the hanging snowman everything but the arms that hang on the doorknob. I used a ponted toothpick to paint orange for the carrot nose.
My husband cut out the pumpkin hanger for me but I need carbon paper to use for the painting.
We watched the Dale movie last night but it wasn't that good so I didn't watch the last half hour. It was good to see and hear him again we still miss his presence at the races. It will never be the same again.
I am making the Trish doily in a CAL at the Mania and it is going to be a pretty one.
Have a great day

Let's start

Well September is starting and it is going well so far. Beautiful weather warm days and cool nights. We pulled up our tomato plants yesterday they were not very good this year and the ones we got were small and not tasty at all.
I may switch to a different variety next year.
We went to a nursery Sunday and I found a plant I had years ago and haven't seen much of since. It is the real geranium called Cranesbill and is a perennial with purple flowers that bloom on a bush like plant.
I have been busy crocheting little things for some swaps I am in.
I also made my first filet project a pumpkin I found out about at Crochet Plus. The owner designed it herself and shared it.
Also I was made a moderator at Crochet Mania. I love these women on there they make my day everyday.
That is it for now.
