Hot Hot and Hotter & Crafts Update

   Good morning,

   This morning I grabbed my -not so good-camera to see if I could catch the sunrise.

We have a very dead tree that needs to be cut down that shows up in these photos.

Below photo the clouds began to cover the sun

Another week or more of extreme heat and humidity here at Lake in the Ozarks and surrounding areas. We were do for a hot summer though-we get these every couple of years or so.

I made a dental appt on Monday as over the weekend-one of the bad areas on the bottom with fillings was giving me issues. My car is a 1999 Mountainer  and I just do not feel comfortable driving it in these extreme weather conditions, especially since I couldn't get an early appt. So this morning I called and cancelled-will see how this goes. To keep things in check I take an herbal antibiotic Oreganol. 

 I have done some more hooking on the rug. Have been struggling with the white wool as it is really too thick-don't remember this being such a struggle. So I dug through my wool stash and found a much thinner white wool. I think I will mix it with the thicker wool so it will not be so noticeable-it is a different shade of white as well. I may need to think more on this as the photo really shows up the difference in the whites

Yesterday I worked on the civil war era meditative scroll. Am liking it so far Most stitch this across the length not the width-decided this direction would be easier to stitch and it is-I may go back and add some decorative stitches to some of the edges.

  Well I am off to eat my bowl of oatmeal with added freeze dried blueberries and strawberries.

Enjoy your day!

For Deb-I love these wooden vintage ones I had one already and bought two more off of etsy-had to hunt for a good price  You may be able to find one there at a resale shop  I set up for a few wooden sewing thread spools too
