I also brought home a splurge for me. Now I just need to be efficient with my time so I can enjoy reading them! I really have a thing for print media, and regardless of how many blogs are on my Bloglovin' list, I continue to love the paper stuff. Why is that?
As I was remaking my bed with fresh sheets last night, someone in the neighborhood was setting off fireworks, and I was finding the pop-pop-pop anything but pleasant. So as I went to another bedroom to close the window I was greeted by a genuine firework display that was bigger than most small towns put on July Fourth. Because of our intense drought, our town, for the first time in memory, had no display and allowed no aerial fireworks. We've had a few weeks of off and on showers since then (a big deal for us, although cumulatively less than most places in the U.S. receive in just one rain shower) and had a 5 minute rain shower earlier in the evening. I stood there and watched until it was over. Because of the low clouds, I could hear a lot of what people were saying although they were three or four blocks away. They were celebrating a birthday. Despite the fact that they were sending an astonishing amount of $$$$$ up in smoke, I really enjoyed that fantastic display!
When I signed in to write this post, I discovered that the Blog Reader is still there. What is with that? Interesting, but now that I've been reading on Bloglovin' and find it so much more convenient, that old Blog Reader doesn't even compare.
No, I haven't stitched anything. I do have a pair of slacks I'd like to get hemmed. We'll see.....
In general, I'm just celebrating milder temperatures (with any luck we've had our last 90+ degree day) and am enjoying all the green as well as blue skies and gorgeous clouds! There are a wide range of celebrations occurring accross New Mexico the next few weeks, although I don't know how many I'll be motivated to attend. I'm just such a homebody!
Happy quiltmaking....

I'm with you on the print, nothing like a "new read" in my opinion! I look at them years later, too. Love the towels and the mug! Very cheery and should look wonderful with the quilt. We have a lot of yellow leaves here, too soon I think, and now rain. Just only dried out the back and now it is starting to rain...please, just another month?!
Embrace your inner homebody, I do, when I am home, lol!!
Me too, Dora - still love rummaging through books and magazines for inspiration. Can't resist new towels either! Enjoy the rest of the weekend, Jen :)
you know, I have not gotten used to Bloglovin but you make it sound as if I should...love the purple basket quilt you used to display the magazines..!!!
Nice to find you again. I just bought a lot of new magazines too..to cheer me up..I find myself relaxing on the deck, nodding off like an old person(: I am still not together with the new sites. I am on Bloglovin and Feedly and still confused..loosing people. But, I think it is my mind that is gone. Oh, well...still sewing away...Take care
