A pretty wrapped paper bundle ready to send off in the mail. Sometimes it's the simplest things that look so pretty, wrapping in newsprint tied with twine and a printed black and white picture, it has a rustic french feel to it. I will wrap all my packages this way from now on.

Oh this heat, even my poor plants are suffereing. They now have a watering ban on in our city so goodbye grass, unless we get some rain soon. This plant sits outside side my studio window, usually my cats are in the window too, but they are slunk out in front of a fan right now. I have been dipping in my daughters pool, even the water is 78 wow but it is still refreshing, it's our birdbath. Is this global warming? Well off to get some errands done, post office, groceries, and library book drop, then I think we will be back in the pool to cool off. Chloe can't wait till school starts, she keeps asking when do I go Mommy? Try to explain 2 weeks to a 4 year old. I will wait till next week before I buy her outfit, since she probably want to wear it every day.

I had some linen doilies and a nice little cotton doily was playing around with an idea and saw something similar in a magazine for a hanging Pin-Keep, so this is my little creation I came up with. You know when you are forever looking for a needle or safety pin before rushing out the door and can never find one....ggggrrrr, it happens to me all the time. I have seen different primitive styles in country magazines and fairs but nothing to hang up. This one you can hang in your kitchen bathroom or bedroom and under the little flap is a spot for pins and a little pocket for maybe some thread or buttons. I listed this PinKeep today in the shop.

Finished my clean out of my studio space here is a few pictures of my pin board and books and the painted shutters worked well over my desk, I will be hanging lots of goodies from them. Sleeping in the chair is little Ming flaked out, this heat today is something like 32 with humid ex close to 40, I am going to flake out now too with some iced tea. Working away on the new blog watch for new products to come.
