~Wildlife~
For some odd reason, during the hot spell we had a few days ago (it has been mildly temperate, more like COLD!, weather here right now; very unusual for the middle of July!:) The baby lizards have been coming to drink from the cat's water bowl (just hopefully she will not catch them!)
So small!!!
Our house finches have been quite comfortable here as well!

My niece payed a visit to us a few weekends ago; she is such a darling thing and I love taking care of her during her visit. Here is a movie of her:
~Craft Projects and More~
Right now, I am in the middle of making cards to be sent off to my penpals!
List of projects that I WANT to make (This will be a good reminder for me since my lists seem to become lost all the time; I need a cork board:) :
Lace hankerchief, but have to purchase some linen
Crochet some more things
Knit headband and learn how to cast off
Restock my nearly depleted card pile
Sew some more sachets
Learn how to quilt, and make blankets
Sew some more fuzzy pillows for friends and big one for myself:)
Johanna from "An Old Fashion Girl" has created a group on Shelfari which I am helping out with!
So much to do, only one more month of summer!
Hope all are having a peaceful evening!
Love always from your busy sister,
Grace

P.S. I am SO sorry about not sending your letter out yet. I have been so busy lately! I feel so bad!
those are gorgeous roses!
ReplyDeletePretty roses! And your niece is really cute! She didn't want to wear the scratchy dress, did she? :-D
ReplyDeleteHey Grace! Those pictures are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteYour niece is just precious! How old is she ?
Did you receive my letter? I hope you did!!!

Dear Rachel,
ReplyDeleteYes, I did receive your lovely letter on Tuesday! Thank you so much!!! I have already written my reply back, but am making you something special for your birthday:).
Kendra,
She is three years old, and very dear to my heart. She did not want to wear that dress, and I do not blame her! I wore that dress to Disneyland one year, and had to take it off after a while!:)
And to everyone: Thank you!!!
Love always from your sister in Christ,
Grace
