A Bit of Everything!

What is it with the weather??!! It was 93 in Seattle yesterday. We had only one other day over 90 this entire summer. I know some of you have had heat all summer but the problem up here is, NOTHING is air conditioned.  That includes restaurants and almost all homes.  In fact, I can't think of anyone who has an air conditioned home.  Oh well!  Fall will eventually get here.  I went plant shopping to get my favorite pansies plus I am busy with 3 cross stitch projects. Takes my feeble mind off the heat!


Sept. Word Play.  The linen is not pink, as shown in the picture.  I love my camera but sometimes it seems to have a mind of it's own.


I especially like the little school house.  This was definitely school oriented.  That is one reason I liked it.


 Progress on Caleb's Halloween stitch.


 My favorite orange whiskers pansy! I love to use these in containers for fall.

I put them with these cool black ones. Tomorrow I hope to do lots of planting.
Thanks so very much for joining me today.

    Lovely stitching on Word Play and I do like the design you are stitching for Caleb.
    I planted some pansies a couple of weeks ago and I wish there had been some orange ones like yours..such a pretty colour and the dark veins look like cat's whiskers:)Hope you have a good weekend.

    Love the wordplay finish. Caleb's piece is looking great, what a fun design to stitch.
    Your planters are going to look amazing with those combination of pansies in them. Have a great weekend!

    I would gladly take some of your heat, Barb--today our high here in western PA is only going to be 62!! I have pretty much written off the summer of 2013...

    Your Sept. Wordplay is so sweet--and perfect for you! I was just thinking last night I need to get back to stitching this series. And Caleb's skeletons are adorable dancing in their graveyard :)

    Orange and black pansies! Wow--I've never seen either of those colors--how Halloweeny :)

    I've never seen an orange pansy around here. Fabulous with the black! I hope those degrees are blowing across the country to PA!!!

    I love every element of the September Word Play! And I never thought I would say cute skeletons, but cute skeletons! :) Beautiful pansies! Funny, I never think to do any planting in the fall. Our weather has kind of been all over the place too. I would love to live in an area where air conditioning wasn't needed. I hate having to spend pretty much the whole summer in it.

    Great finish on the wordplay. And very nice progress on the Halloween piece.
    These pansy colours are gorgeous, colours that I have never seen before on pansies.

    It has been terribly hot here too. I have been looking at the pansies in the garden centres but have felt too hot to do any planting. Perhaps this weekend....
