Ha! I almost forgot to make this go live - and that was after thinking last week was the first Tuesday and trying to get it live then. Summer is just too crazy for thinking properly...
Hello and Welcome to my monthly book list. It's amazing how a little vacation time can mean lots of reading! That and lots of quilting time to finish fair entries. I've now finished 47 of 90 books for the year. School tax season is drawing near so that will help me up my numbers as well.
FINISHED
Skybreaker - #2 in a futuristic series where boats fly.
A Conspiracy of Faith
If I live
Baker's Magic - a fun little fantasy story
The Invisible Girls
Winter Study - I love reading a book from the Anna Pigeon series while camping - each book features a different National park.
Macbeth
The Curse of Crow Hollow - fantastic story and reader! Wish I could figure out who the reader is.
Girls Like Us
The Romanov Ransom
How to Hang a Witch - woohoo! I found out there is a squeal. Love the historical tidbits thrown in.
Her Last Breath
Dead Bolt
Down a Dark Road
Liar Temptress Soldier Spy - a bit long but an interesting historical novel about ladies in the Civil War
The Dead Will Tell
IN PROGRESS
On my iPhone - Monstrous Beauty
On my home stereo - A Stranger's Game
And now it's your turn - what books have you read recently? Anything counts - novel, magazine, quilt pattern and cereal box.

Feline Friday - 8/3/18
Momma!!! Momma!!! Momma!!!
You'll never guess what I found at the bottom of my toy bowl??!!!!
First I found my favorite pink fleece knotted catnip toy.
But then I found sissy's favorite blue fishy. I forgot just how much she loved that fish but it's a real good toy. I left it in the middle of the floor for you to enjoy too!

Wednesday Weather Report #63 - 8/1/18
Dang! How did it get to be August already?! That means summer, and my Friday's off, is officially half over and I'm not happy about it. :(
I'm afraid I didn't pay enough attention to my elongated hexies this week.
The week could have gone this way:
On the other hand, maybe it was this way. I'm really not sure...
Either way - here is all of July! That wash outed hexie in the middle is a yellow - it never plays nice.
Now I have a dilema....
Last Friday I was at a sorta-LQS that had grunge fabrics so I decided to get some more, knowing that fall and winter were approaching sooner rather than later. I picked up 2 greens, blue and pink. I still need 2 purples to complete the rainbow since I already have white.
What I hadn't remembered is that I already had a bright green. It's barely discernible from my yellow in photos unless I play with the contrast. It's OK in person but it's not great.
I didn't take pictures of the various green combinations. Some look great in person but I think it's probably better to cut into the new greens and see how they play in smaller pieces. If it's worth it, I'll trade out those 2 light greens from June.
How was your weather this week? I know a lot of places got drenched in rainstorms. Not so here...we are still considered "abnormally dry" according to the US Drought Monitor.
