4th of July Eve

Just doesn't have quite the ring to it as Christmas EVE or New Year's EVE. Oh well, my neighbors must like the 'EVE' because they started celebrating already. Fireworks make me a little nervous when I live in the forest and things are a bit crispy. I would rather go to the town sponsored events and see the BIG fireworks and be safe. Our plan for tomorrow is to go watch some that will be set off from a barge out in the lake. I think that will be pretty as the fireworks will be reflected in the water. More bang for the buck!

The only thing 'crafty' to report today - I went to the small fabric store in town and the craft store that has a fabric section. Mmmmmmmmm, how I love to spend time looking and feeling new fabric. Better even if hubby is not sitting in the car waiting for me. I was alone today. It was perfect. I did get fabric and trim for my Beat the Heat July Halloween Apron Swap apron AND I also found fabric for the Tote Bag swap that I am taking part in. The gals that worked the fabric counter in the craft store were ooohing and ahhing over the pattern I chose to use and the fabric combo ;) No pictures today. Maybe next week I will post a teeny, partial sneak.

Have a safe and sane 4th. (do the fireworks still say that on them??? They always did when I was a kid). If you served or are currently serving in any branch of the military, or have a family member that has/is - THANK YOU! For your sacrifice. I appreciate it.

  1. I would be nervous about the fireworks with all the woods around too. eeeek! Fireworks have never really done anything for me so unless I can see some from here, we're not headed anywhere special to watch 'em.

    Glad you got some fabric, as if you didn't have enough in your collection already. hehehhehe!
