I am so sick of this heat. We had a break on Sunday but it's gotten hotter and muggier each day so that we are right back where we were last week. And the week before. And the week before. It has been relentless! The forecast isn't very promising either. I have enough AC to keep comfortable as long as I don't get too physical. I've had to be out several times during the day at work this week and by the end of the day, I feel like a wrung-out dishrag! I'm grateful for the air conditioning more than ever before.

Last night was Bobbin Lace night after skipping two weeks. I started this the last time and hadn't even taken the pillow out of the bag. For some reason though, I took the instructions out and forgot to bring them so I was winging the 2nd half last night. I actually like it better than the first half even if the sewings aren't the best.

I had to show this sweet birdie paperclip I received as a gift. Now...if I could only remember where it came from! I got an awful lot of stuff close together so it could have been a vendor OR it could have come from someone else. I know it was in an envelope with something else. If you sent it to me, please let me know! I think it's sweet!

I stopped in at Goodwill this evening, just in case there was something special I could get with my 30% off discount. I found this painted caddy which works perfectly for the table next to my tatting chair to help me get organized. I may paint it another color but I wanted to make sure it would fit.

And here is the lovely orchid my sister got me for my birthday. I've never had an orchid before. Let's hope I don't kill it. I have so many trees around me that I don't get much sunlight anywhere in the house. That's why I take all my plants to work!

I have another really precious gift but I'm trying to figure out how I can fit it in my header so I need a not-hot day where I'm not wrung out by the heat. I'm off Friday so that might be the day! In the meantime, you'll have to guess. Sniffle, sniffle.
