Motivation Saturday

Its going to get HOT today!  100F+  The Visitor Center is a good place to be when its hot.  Today is the first day of Paddlefish archery season.  

Paddlefish Archery

Look closely and you can see the bows and arrows.  Paddlefish have a strange "bill".  They do not bite on a hook, they sieve out microscopic plants and animals.  They can grow very large.

I've done quite a bit of sewing so far this week.  More of the Trip Around the World rows are sewn together.  More Rainbow Challenge blocks are cut.   Prepped a hand applique block.  Tomorrow is a day off--I'm staying inside where its cool and plan to SEW  (and nap, and read.......) 

How did you spend your week? 

Monday Goals

My goals will remain the same as last week.

1. Set Birds in Air blocks together
2. Sew Rainbow Scrap blocks (blue)
3. Set Sister's Choice blocks together

I've not done much sewing, last night the weather was BEAUTIFUL and I sat in my lawn chair and read.   There will be days when its too hot or windy or buggy to sit outside and I will sew then.

Every weekend the Visitor Center has Interpretative Programs.   John does a wonderful Fur Trader--dresses in costume and draws the spectators in.

It must be the "lazy days of summer".   I'm definitely lazy!

Motivation Friday and Blue Rainbow Scrap Saturday

I played with my blue noodles and made a 36 patch block, a couple of Spool blocks, and a few 4 patches.  All to go in my basket until the end of the year.   

Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2012

This week I tried to stay cool.  100+F every day this week.  Today is much cooler--82F.  Tonight I will sit outside my camper, drink a cold beverage, and read.    

How did you spend your week?  Summer activities?  Sewing?

Weekly Goals

Time for goals--

1. Set Birds in Air blocks together
2. Sew Rainbow Scrap blocks (blue)
3. Set Sister's Choice blocks together

This week is half gone and I'm not sure how much sewing I'll do.   I have plenty of projects to work on in the camper.  

Mason and I made cupcakes in ice cream cones over the weekend.  Fluffy whipped frosting with red/white/blue sprinkles.

 

Tonight is a free concert at Riverside Park and later fireworks over the Missouri River.   I wish you a safe and happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July

Ken and I are in Minnesota.  Its hot and a pool and a Slip'n'Slide are on the lawn. 

Asher and Grandpa stayed inside where it was cool.
