Are you having fun yet??

Well, if you are not having fun you must not be in the Central Valley of Califonia, because if has been just a wonderfun summer. 

 Plenty of sunshine, plenty fruits ( I really like to buy at roadside fruits stands) and of course the heat is not too bad in the valley because it's a "dry heat" haha, anyway we like to say that because it makes us feel better!!

World Handcrafts has received some new merchandize and it is sooo pretty!  Every time a shipment comes in I feel like it's a party, opening all those boxes and packages.  We are all excited to see how interesting and pretty the items are. 

Many are made of recycled paper, recycled soda cans etc.  These artisans are really very creative!! 

This month we have some very cute cards from Africa.  They are made by orphans in Rwanda.  Children that were orphaned during the genicide and some whose parents have died of aids.   Some are children caring for younger children. 

 Money earned by making these cards gives them food, schooling but most of all HOPE

At the Quilt Center, we have also received some new fabrics.  We have some wonderful fall and Christmas panels to piece together a wallhanging of a table runner.   There is only one problem with that.  I WANT SOME OF IT!.  I have to work out a schedule to sit and sew at least an hour a day.  

The problem with an hour a day is, I don't  know when the hour is up and before you know it, it is midnight and I just pieced some fabrics on the wrong side, :(sigh), husband come in and asks " are you comming to bed anytime soon, I want to turn off the light".  I don't think that happens to any of you, does it?

Good night...
