Summertime and the living is easy....

Summer has sprung on us and it is great and I have the AC on as it is too hot upstairs at night without it.
I have been planting some flowers - zinnias and vinca - I have my geranium hanging pot up on the porch too. I only have to do a pot of impatiens now. I used to love to do this type of gardening but now it wears me out. I get down on my knees and can barely stand up afterwards. LOL.
I went to Joann's today to get a few things and then I went to a fairly new thrift store. It is in an old ToysRUs building and is so nice and clean. They have several around here called Ohio Thrift. They didn't have any fabrics or old machines like some people can find in them. The only thing I got was a 9" sq.  stainless steel baking pan that is in perfect shape and only $1.91. I was a little disappointed.
This is the doll quilt I made for the lady in Iowa. She said she liked and it is almost Amish LOL. She is sending mine soon. I am not worried. This will be my last doll quilt for swapping. I want to make other things. I am now making a pin cushion for a  swap.
I am doing the bingo over at  The Quilt Shoppe's blog and so far I have 3 words. They are giving 3 prizes every day which is nice. Go over to Jenny's for a giveaway for May. See the button on my sidebar.
