Cool Creativity


      It's been rainy and cool here lately - ridiculously so in my opinion.
The end of June and I'm sleeping under a comforter. Yes, yes, I know I'll eat my words next week when I'm sitting around fanning myself like Scarlett O'Hara after long Georgia afternoon of frustrating the local beaux.

     Here in WW world we're dealing with autumn in June by getting all artsy crafty.  

      The scene of a canal in Venice (note the enlargement of the snap I took while we were there) is coming along nicely even if the artist painting out on our porch is toying with frostbite.

       I descended to the basement and with my 1971 Singer sewing machine cranked out a succession of new pillow covers to jazz up the porch.

     This weather had better break soon or before we know it, himself will be setting up scaffolding to reenact the Sistine Chapel on the living room ceiling and my inner Martha Stewart will overcome me like The Hulk and Bruce Banner.

  1. Oh dear. It does indeed look chilly. I prefer it to the sweaty season though. I really don't channel Scarlett well.
    Love your creativity. Both of your creativities.

  2. I am wearing my winter hoodie today. I look like your artist there. It has to change soon (famous last words).

  5. The porch is looking quite summery with all that green and white.

  6. The weather is so strange! We've had a drought and unprecedented heat, while the Midwest is flooding, and you are freezing! That picture made me laugh, though, since I only sleep with a sheet these days, and my hoodies are languishing in my closet. :-)

  7. We've cooled to the upper 80's and it feels wonderful. I get nothing done in the summer, just survive.

  11. Your new cushions turned out pretty! Your 1971 Singer looks heavy. I'll bet it sews a lot better than my little lightweight 99.00 Kenmore.
