July 4th

The 4th of July
At Uncle Terry and Dawn's house. It was a very nice day, even if we had to stop for a little rain. It soon cleared up and we were playing again.

Exchanges
Book & Magazine Exchange from Carol B, ESC group.

4th of July Exchange from Vicky L, KK group.


Finish
I started this piece about two weeks before the retreat. I just finished it the other day.
Calico Crossroads, Kitty Litter.
Started this ornament in January and just finished it. This one is for Dylan.
Retreat Goodies
A few more retreat goodies.
I used my G.S. from 123 Stitch and this is what I bought.
A few things I need to finish some projects and a few things I need to start a new project.
I also used my 35% off from Turquise Graphics & Designs, that sent us goodies for the retreat.
These are the two patterns I bought.
Saturday morning I took in my 4-H projects. I put all my stuff on the table and set down to fill out all the paper work. As I was writing I didn't notice that I was shaking the table and the bag that I had my beaded ornament in, fell on the floor and the ornament smashed to pieces!!! This is the second beaded ornament that I have broken within a month. Lesson learned, buy shatter proof ornament from now on for beading.
