This past weekend was not only a busy one but a HOT one! See, I don't do summer well. I prefer the nice, cold feel of my refrigerator door open to help cool the house down for myself. People wonder why I don't really care for summer...here's a few reasons: blood sucking insects, sunburn to the point of making a lobster ashamed of the color of his own shell, and heat so bad to the point of being able to do a hot coal dance on the pavement......without the coals. So what do I do this past weekend? I help my husband landscape......
Well...I guess that this was the 'meeting of the minds'...how many guys does it take to plant one tree?....*snicker*...Can't you hear it now? "Hey...that tree standing up straight?" "Nope, looks crooked to me" "Looks alright...what 'bout that stump?" "Wait...we just planted a tree??"
So, since I was slightly scared watching my boys trying to figure out how to plant one tree, I moved on to the pretty things.....
I received my ornament from Lisa from our ornament exchange group. It took my breath away on how pretty it is! This is Val's Helping Hand and I just love it...pink is my favorite color and the colors are so different for Christmas. I love how unique it is! Thanks so much Lisa :) Isn't is just so pretty?
Just Nan's Winter Hearts Humbug....almost all stitched. I've been doing this on my lunch at work. I finally got brave and did the Rhodes Hearts on my own. My first ones ever and they didn't turn out bad. They are not my favorite to do and I usually beg my friend Karen to do them for me, but I got brave and did them. All I can say is, I'm glad they are done. LOL...Ok...I had to share these...my kitty has a shoe fetish. Yup. A shoe fetish. I was getting ready the other morning and this is what I found just around the corner....BUSTED!
Mama...yous running shoes...well....theys dirty and they stink....just so yous know....and then the next day...this:
Mama...I likes these.....these are cool cats shoes....can I wears them?what a silly kitty..........thanks for stopping by. :)

Love the photos. I did the rhodes hearts in one strand in the end as I thought they were too bulky. The next humbug should be on a plane from the USA right now. Why don't you pop over to my blog and vote on the next Just Nan project I should stitch if you haven't all ready done so.
The meeting of the minds....pefect picture :)
Love your ornament from Lisa! Yay on the Just Nan stitching!
And what a delightful kitty :)
I sure hope the tree grows straight. lol Funny what we see when a collection of the gender tries to look intelligent and work together. lol. Love the ornament, lucky girl...
Be always in stitches.

Hi there, I'm soo pleased your ornie arrived and that you liked it. I wanted to try a different colour and loved the hand dyed pink fabric I had, so that is why he is that colour choice. I really enjoyed stitching him up for you.
I'm with you I HATE summer, thankfully we are heading into Winter here and recently had some rain, so I am a happy chappy!!
Hugs LISA V.
I agree on your thoughts about Summer...the heat, the bugs and it seems there is not a breeze to be had to cut the sun. I go for Spring and Fall any day!
Beautiful ornament from Lisa! Mine should be there any minute!
Planting a tree is cool. I love the pictures of the cloud and flowers, they look beautiful.
The ornament you received from Lisa is great! I love the snowman he is adorable. Your Winter Hearts humbug is coming along beautifully.
Thanks for the giggle with the kitty pictures. So very cute :)
I have just looked at all the pictures in your last post - wow, so much stitching and finishing and WIPs and and ... You are on a roll, aren't you?!
