Free Pattern for August!

Good morning and happy Monday! I'm posting a little late this morning and not because I slept in. My right hand is numb this morning. I have Reynaud's Phenomenon, which is severe inflammation in the digits of the hands and feet and it is really taking a toll on my right hand today. If there are spelling errors in this post, I humbly apologize.

Went to our pool party Saturday and wouldn't you just know it - it rained the entire time. That was okay, we got wet from the rain instead of the pool. But when you get all us old geysers

together, a good time is to be had by all and we had a blast. And yesterday was glorious temperature wise. It only reached the low eighties with fluffy cloud cover. Today, is cloudy and overcast, but as long as it keeps the temp down, who cares.

Dear friend is coming this afternoon for a visit. I'm dragging her to Rock Hill. I've got a few things I need to get from Staples and she absolutely loves $1 stores, so since there is mighty dollar store conveniently beside Staples, guess where we're going. What she gets out of those things is beyond me. Well, let me rephrase that. I know what she buys - reading glasses (yes, she trusts her eyes to $1.00). She is so funny! We have been friends since the first grade, known each other all these years. Although our tastes and lives have taken us in separate directions, we're still the best of friends.

Now down to business. For August I'm offering a free pattern for "Charles". He is a happy

snowman and has always sold well at shows. He is very easy to make and can be completed in a relatively short time. Go to the bottom of the page and get your free pattern and enjoy. It may still be summer, but I'm already thinking ahead and planning for Christmas. It will be here in just four short months. I'm already stockpiling Christmas presents.

Time has gotten away from me this morning, it's almost 9:30 and I'm still in my jammies. It's time to get in gear and ready for another busy day.

jkollu jum pjaċevoli u produttiv, (have a pleasant and fruitful day)
