SWING ME A STORY
This week's Sassy Cheryl's challenge is called, "Here Comes Summer" hosted by yours truly!
Summer! Got to love it...a swing and a good book for those lazy, hazy days of summer! I colored with Copics. My DP is My Mind's Eye. Don't you love the lady bug brads! Hmmm...as I look at this now, I think it could use a bit of doodling or faux stitching...it's been one of those days...
It was one of THOSE days-you know the kind...where everything seems to go just wrong. Now, mind you, nothing life altering, just lots of little frustrations! I had started making a quilt for sweet baby B (my granddaughter) back in April and then, got sidetracked. I brought it out this week, prepped it to piece it and today, thought the piecing would go oh, so smoothly as I had measured VERY carefully...but, NOOOO! ACK! My seam ripper got lots of use. Frustration! Then, too, Internet issues which always make me slightly crazy. Oh, well...
In any case, I hope you are having a GREAT, non-frustrating day and that you will join us for this week's challenge!
Other challenges I plan to enter:
ABC Challenges - W, cards only, E3, C10 - Summer
Craft-Dee BowZ - M, E3, project must have bow - (June) Celebrate Summer + Handmade Bow
Kaboodle Doodles - W, 3E - Summer
Make it Monday - W - always Anything Goes

Good morning, Miz Ann! I'm so sorry you had a frustrating day yesterday...hopefully today will be better!! Your granddaughter will cherish her quilt even more when she hears how much love you put into it (sewing and ripping out)! Thanks for the wonderful theme!
