Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Greetings dear friends and blogging buddies!~ The heat has been much better here the last couple of days. We had a nice little downpour and then the temps and lowered some. We were not expecting the rain and we had shampooed the carpet.So needless to say that with the moisture in the air, it didn't completely dry until into the next day. On Sunday , when we had the rain , we had a beautiful double rainbow. You know , you usually just see the ends of the rainbow, but this one stretched all across the sky. These pictures of course do not do it justice.

I don't know if you can tell in this next picture here, but in real ife the second rainbow was more vivid. I sometimes think of the song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" when I see one, but I always think of Noah and the Ark and the promise the rainbow represents.

Well , I got LHN's Virtue Sampler done . It was a lot of fun to stitch. I had planned on framing it and putting it in my laundry room , but now I am thinking of maybe making it into a quilted tote. I will have to think on that one.

I also stitched up part of the Two Roosters pattern from LHN. I am thinking about stitching this one a few times and finish it out a few different ways to have things in the kitchen co-ordinate. My Shaker style kitchen is quickly turning into a kitchen with more farm decor.

I wanted to give a shout out to a new blogger . Some of you have already seen her blog.Her name is Peggy Lee, go check out her blog. Yesterday Ma Teakettle gave a shout out on her and you should see how fast her blog followers are growing. I know last week, she had three,me and tow others. Yesterday morning she had 6, and then whammo, it jumped to 30! Can you imagine gaining 24 followers in one day?! That's quite impressive! Another one you can check out is Colorado Stitcher. She has deleted her old blog and has began a new one.

I will be taking a new project to work on and will be sitting up at the hospital for probably a good portion of the day. My husband's grandmother was taken to the hospital for sugar spikes and then huge and fast drops.She is a diabetic. Her blood pressure as of last night was staying fairly steady of around 67/44 which , of course , is not good. She has really been declining in the last several months so we shall see how it goes. Prayers and thoughts would be appreciated.

I will go. You all take care and have a lovely day! Thank you all so much for stopping by and for your kind comments.

'till next time,

don't be a stranger,

Sharlotte
