summer is finally here






It is just beautiful here....iris, phlox, and columbine are all showing off this morning. I finally got my porch pots planted and now it is time to sit and enjoy them.



Beeswax had been on my mind...there are two blogs I follow that do wonderful things with it. I felt my projects had been missing a sense of depth and maybe this would help. Dragging out that Ranger melting pot I had purchased a long time ago I popped in some beeswax pellets....and waited....and waited....nutin'.....what the crap???? maybe it was a little ticked I had waited so long to play with it, but it sure wasn't heating up. I asked for advice from Suze Weinberg and got an immediate response....it must be something wrong with the heating element, so I drug out a small old crock pot and it worked. not so easy to work out of but it got the job done. I now see the benefits of the beeswax....a soft glow, dimension, and did I mention I love to smell it.



My daughter Chrissy and I have a friend that is getting married in a wooded setting. Mindy and Dennis wanted some very rustic invitations so Chrissy and I made 30 of them Wednesday night....whew about seven hours. It is very hard for me to do repetition but we hung in there and got them ready to mail. It was a hard night but I really enjoyed working with Chrissy.



well, the weekend is upon us so I better make the cole slaw and pickle some eggs.
