It's been hot here, how about there?
It's been so nice lately that I've spent a lot of time outside. My geek-white legs are actually getting a little color!
I don't know what's wrong with me lately. I'm not usually so klutzy but last post I told you about how I'd injured 3 digits of my left hand in as many days. Looks like I've started on my right hand now.
My husband has been out of town on business for the better part of 3 weeks so I'm looking forward to his return so he can help protect me from myself!
This is the bucket I made for the Bucket of Sunshine swap going on over at Sweet Goodness swaps. I can't wait to fill it full of goodies for my partner.
This is the teacup I got for my partner at the swap hosted by Mary Ann and her sister, Jo over at the Vintage Tea Room. I had a lot of fun shopping for it and learned a lot about cups and saucers while I was on my quest.
Oh! I signed on with Jess' Embroidered Button swap. Go check it out over here
I think it's the only new thing I'll sign up for until mid-late August because I'm expecting company from Japan next week and they'll be here for SIX weeks! My aunt and uncle don't speak English and my cousin speaks a teeny bit. So, we'll be kind of preoccupied around here playing tourist/guide. But hey! If you think you'll be in my area, let me know because I'd love to meet up with you. :)
The other day, Raesha tagged me for a meme and I sat down and completed it that night but forgot to post it, so here it is:
