Quick, tell me what song my title is from and the singer/singers. Be the first and I will send you a little something! Leave your guess below in comments.
It has been hot hot hot here. Last week we got to 102 for a couple days and it's been the high 90s
the rest of the time. Come on Fall!!
I have a couple Christmas ornament finishes..
Merry Moose Wishes, found in the JCS 2012 Christmas ornament issue I'm
pretty sure! I think it has been a WIP since 2012! Haha. I left off a few
things like a star button on the top of the tree and a stitched curlicue
coming off the last S on Christmas. I love it! I wish I knew what fabric
I stitched it on. It's a linen with an oatmeal-y color to it.
My next finish is a recent WIP from last year..
Winter's Eve, also from a JCS ornament issue but I don't know which. I've tried
since yesterday to make this new post and surprise, the stars finally aligned
this morning to post. Gotta love technology! So I wasn't prepared. I don't know
what the fabric is but it's a pewter like color with variegation.
So I have once again joined the Haunted Harvest 2020 exchange and I have begun
stitching my main item. I have changed a few things on it but need to buy a wooden
box to mount it on but to also line up the stitching so it'll fit. So I'll take care
of that next weekend on a trip to Hob Lob. I'll show that next time I post.
Since Blogger is behaving, I'll show a few pictures of a Mother Daughter
adventure my daughter and I took on July 4th.
You can see the red rocks of Sedona in the distance. We took a back road to Jerome, AZ.
It's a ghost town just over a mountain from me. This back road is dirt all the way.
I have most of my pictures on my phone and I'll transfer some over to my iPad and continue
the pics on another blog post.
Just as we get into Jerome is this old mine. Either copper or gold. Below that with
the buildings is the Gold King Mine, a tourist stop of old buildings, lots of old mining
equipment, a little gift shop, and demonstrations of woodworking and blacksmithing.
We've been here before but we just looked atound the gift shop. This time we paid the $7 each
to go in the back. Interesting place. It really was a mine and in the middle of the
whole place is the shaft which goes down over 1,000 feet. It is blocked off with
warning signs though. That's the thing with Arizona with its rich history of mining. The
hills and mountains are dotted with abandoned mines. The state has gone around
and destroyed the openings of these mines but I think there are more to be found.
We wanted to have lunch in Jerome at the Haunted Hamburger, a burger joint so
named because when they were rehabbing the place, their too,s would go missing
and show up somewhere else. Their fried pickles are to die for!
That's it! I hope this new post has found you all healthy and doing well. I am fine.
Remember me telling you about a cousin who was hospitalized back in March
with Covid 19? Poor girl spent 3 weeks in the hospital and she is still on
supplementary air. She is the reason I wear a mask. Stores are all beginning
to require masks anyway.
Don't forget to take part in my quiz. Leave a working email if you would.
Take care and be safe!
