Happy "Let's Blow things UP Day" !
I know, I'm "Ms. Sunshine" ... and the sky is a forbidding blue, in places. I'm Not a fan of Humidity and Explosions. Much rather pretty fireworks on a pleasant eve. I believe I prefer my beloved AC with a righteous THUNDERSTORM. ... I predict i will choose to be a party pooper tonight.
Happy 4th ANYWAY... !
... in the meantime, i am planning to scrapbook and quilt, amidst being "on call" at work, and will head in around 4 ... then? i fantasize about heading home to hermit up and do the things that bring me joy. Unfortunatley, unless the Sky opens, my family will probably draw me into a crowd be be bug fodder amidst the thick air and long lines, hikes to a rank Porta-Potty. I'll be wishing i were in the AC sewing or scrapbooking... until then, if i'm dragged off, i will take a good read:

Mini Quilt Swap: Batik/hand dyed!
Done! .... ready to mail: "yesterday"
... saved it to mail it after my quilt guild meeting!
I hand dyed the outer fabric and backing several years ago .... i've been hesitant to use them because i loved them so ~ but i signed up to do another 'group dye' so, i finally felt able to "let go" of some of it... The Batik in the center I made last fall? with a group of friends ... and practiced a variety of techniques. Many of the methods i've been wanting to try for awhile - using shiva paint sticks, beading and 3d applique.
~ this will actually be mailed to my quilt swap buddy *anon* asap!
