WIP Wednesday

The sun is shining and the heat is rising on this Wednesday morning . I really do not do as much sewing in the summer but since I am taking part in the "Think Christmas " blog hop with Madamm Samm and Lesley of the Cuddle Quilter I have spent a little time preparing for that event later this month .I can't give you a full view but here is a sneak peak of what I have been working on , lets see if you can guess what it is :-)
That may be a pretty big clue but oh well you will see it all soon anyway .
Then there is this little piece of work ,perhaps a little more difficult to guess .
I have a couple of others in the works but this will give you enough of a tease and know I am actually working on this blog hop in between making bags , maybe I have been sewing afterall :-) 
 Along with sewing I truly love taking photos and things that fascinate me might not really interest others like this photo I took on the weekend .

 The flowers on the lily pads were just starting to come out , sure wish they had been open but I really could not get close enough without getting realllllllly wet . Then as we were driving along I spotted this very long hedge of white roses , they were the full length of the driveway , it was an incredible sight and the photo does not do it justice at all.
I am fortunate to have a husband who will even ask if I want to stop to take a picture , he knows me pretty well ;-) I always take the camera just incase !
 Since the dust bunnies are multiplying I have to spend at least some time today to clean the house before the extreme heat hits . For now I am linking up to the Needle and Thread Network with Monika , be sure to head on over to see what others have been busy with this week. Thanks for the visit and enjoy your day .
 A little addition to this post , there is a fantastic giveaway over at Connie's blog  for some really gorgeous batiks , be sure to hop on over and enter . 
 hugs Sheila

  4. Nice photos. Is that a snowman I spy? Since I've been wilting from the heat wave we've had in the last 2 weeks, I'm thinking of hanging up a sign that says snow! LOL

  13. charming blocks, I'm sure! It's hard to think of snowmen right now, but it won't be long. I love to take pictures, too. If you can't get close enough to something, just take the best picture you can, and then crop the heck out of it to enlarge what you really want to see! One of the many advantages of digital.
