Stop the Clock!

Ohmygosh — things are spinning out of control here! Can you believe it’s August already? I can’t even remember July!

And did you see the beautiful moon the other day? On Friday, TheManoftheHouse mentioned that the moon was huge and gorgeous on his way to work, so when I woke up before 6 on Saturday morning, I thought I’d go chase the moon and see if I could get a good picture. Silly me — you get one day for those things and that’s all. The moon set much later and the sun was up way before the moon was low enough in the sky to be huge and beautiful. So what’s a girl to do when she’s up at 6:45 a.m. on a Saturday morning (which should be a punishable offense anyway — weekends are for sleeping in!)? I took pictures of corn fields. The corn is looking pretty beautiful out there!

Yeah — it’s really exciting around here LOL. I have been really busy though — August will be vacation month here in ThimbleannaLand, so I’ve been frantically trying to get a bunch of stuff done before I leave. The Aunts’ Quilt is hot off the press and put together for this month’s assignment — I’ll be gone on report in day for the quilt along, so I needed to get ahead.

Now, I just need to make a doll quilt and a pincushion or two by next Saturday.  Think it will happen? I’m a little skeptical — I’m not getting home from work until around 8:30 every night, and the little doll quilt is barely started. I need a clone!

So, I’m off and running. I really just popped in to say Happy August! I’m hoping for a FUN month!!!
XOXO,
Anna

  1. Have a great month!! I hope everything runs smoothly and on schedule for you. When I see photos of corn I think of that song about corn being as high as an elephants eye, your corn looks that tall. Your pincushion is so cute!!

  2. Oh dear – my comment vanished!! Of course you will get everything done – you don’t need to sleep!! And the fun will still be going on in September!!

  3. You have been so busy! Hope that everything goes smoothly in the pre vacation plan. and even if you are working til late you’ve gotten more done than I have lately. We’ve only been home a few days between trips, company, more trips etc since mid June. Looking forward to 6 weeks at home now! and am anxious to see where vacation is taking you this year.

  4. Can’t wait to see the doll quilt! Your corn looks pretty good in comparison to the corn around here, it’s pretty thirsty.

    Those bunnies are the cutest things ever. Although this one looks a tad uncomfortable.

    Can’t wait to see your vaca pix!!

  5. I can’t believe it’s August either!!! I caught the moon on Monday morning. So pretty when you see it in blue sky.
    Good luck with your doll quilt project –
    Have a FABULOUS time on your holiday!!

  6. Have a great holiday Anna and don’t stress too much trying to finish stuff as everything will still be waiting for you when you get back.
    PS: Can’t wait to see the Aunts’ quilt together.
