Halloween Swap and other things

Here are some photos of things I am working on for a Christmas in August finish. Three items for Christmas must be finished by the end of August, just have to quilt, bind and put the hanger rings on them.

These are my blocks for the Halloween Swap, I cannot wait to see everyone's blocks. I have seen quite a few already and they are wonderful.

Today my daughter and I went to brunch and saw Julie and Julia, it was a very nice film, loved it and came out so hungry. All of that food, it was great. Can't wait for the weather to get cool again so I can start cooking again. I hate to cook in this heat and we are suppose to be getting 90 and above for the next few days.

My son was here for a visit for a few days, played in his band for a show which took up most of his time, but did get to see him a little. He and his wife will be down again for Christmas so that will be wonderful.

A very good friend of mine who is Austrialian, married to an Englishman and lives in Singapore at the moment is having her fourth baby and after three boys she is having a girl. I am so happy for her, she is such a girly girl. The only bad thing is, I cannot make up my mind what quilt to make her.

Well good night for now.
