Crafty Video, Crafty Quilt and Not So Craft Me

Never thought crafty items could be used for such a clever little video. Thought you might enjoy.



Speaking of crafty....
Dana, over at Old Red Barn Co. is one crafty and gifted quilter. And she is so generous. She is giving away a beautiful quilt. This is an amazingly beautiful quilt. Visit her blog to find out how to enter for this quilt.

My summer will soon be coming to an end. I have one last week of vacation before the new school year begins for me. Teachers and students still have 3 and 4 weeks off respectively. I have enjoyed my time off and have accomplished some of my goals for the house. Cleaning out closets and rooms, baking, freezing, yard work etc. However, my craft/sewing/knitting goals have a little to be desired. In fact, I have started but haven't completed a single knitted item at all. (Well, one little dishcloth. Oh, dear!) I have also done a little sewing. And I mean little.... A pincushion and tissue holder for a swap,


and some potholders and dish towels for Christmas gifts.

Can you tell I have been trying to use up small pieces of fabric leftovers?
The one major sewing project I wanted to do this summer is the window treatments for the living room we painted over spring break. Hopefully, I'll have those completed tomorrow.

How About Those Georgia Dogs?

Not those Georgia dogs....








THESE Georgia dogs:

Every time I attend a Braves baseball game, I look forward to a Georgia hot dog.
Last week my husband and I attended a couple of Braves games. Yes, I ate one each night and loved it. The dog, the slaw, the vidalia onion relish....yum! Thursday night I saw a Phillies fan eating a dog like this:
It reminded me of the "eating a Snickers with a fork" episode on Seinfeld. What's up with that?

The second game was on the 4th of July. Nothing says 4th of July better than baseball and hotdogs. Besides winning (finally), it was quite an entertaining evening for watching people and baseball.
