Peony pattern

Download now as a pdf pattern

Double Peony- now this is pretty  and summer like. 

Beautiful day , sunny and warm, not the terrible heat in other places. Being near the ocean seems to keep the temperature at a reasonable level. Although there are some summer days that are oppressive. 
But today was not one of them. 
We did go grocery shopping and spent quite a bit more than we usually spend but we were picking up cases of water and noodles. 
We just enjoyed the rest of the day doing nothing.

I heard a terrible rumour that the Canucks were thinking of trading our young goalie Cory Schneider. Say it isn't so.  That would leave us with just Roberto Luongo for the next 9 years. OMG what an awful deal Gillis made when they contracted for Luongo.  If we lose Schneider it is toast for us in the run for the cup.  Oh well whatever goes for brains in the hockey world astounds me.

I am thinking of starting to sew and embroider again if I can manage it. It would be kind of nice to do something creative. Maybe tomorrow would be a good day to begin since it is Sunday and we often stay home on Sunday.

I embroidered this barbecue apron for Matthew. I like the ants. They remind me of a time when we were in Tobago and I dropped a part of a french fry on the floor of the deck. From nowhere came an army of ants who got themselves under the fry , picked it up and walked away with it. My how I laughed at that. Aren't ants resourceful?

I have no idea why this was in my picture files  but it certainly is appropriate  of the book I am reading . It takes place in the  Tower of London and is a story about a murder that happens there in the 1920s. Of course the Tower is the home of the Ravens and the story goes that if  the ravens leave the Tower the Crown will fall and with it the Kingdom. 

I haven't heard from Buzz today about Bob's situation . I hope all is well with him and he can leave the hospital .
Buzz phoned a little while ago to say that Bob was still the same , still under morphine so not really conscious. We will go to visit him on Monday. I pray he will be fine.

We are watching Kindergarten Cop with Arnold Schwarzenager. I have seen it before but it is still very funny. So this will be our evening for a while. 

Isn't this a lovely quilt. One thing about this kind of church is that it is symmetrical and therefore easy to male a pattern of it. Just fold a piece of paper and draw half a church. See . Easy LOL! 

I have had these puppies on my blog before but they are so cute and that is why they are here again.
Great grandson Adam and grandson Aaron in fake moustaches as if you didn't know LOL>

I can't seem to focus much tonight so I am going to close.
Have a great evening.
Good night!
