Still hot here and still juggling fuses and lights but I must say we're grateful to have fans and even a small a/c unit so there's at least one cool-ish room in the house. I wait until the sun gets around and then I can spend some time working on my landscape project. I keep the curtains drawn early in the day so it's pretty dark in here to be working. Here's the progress so far....
Found this cute quote to share with you today..."Heat makes things expand. So I don't have a weight problem. I'm just hot"
Hi Maryanne oh wow your landscape is amazing and coming along beautifully,you are a very talented lady,well done,keep cool and safe my friend xx
ReplyDeleteThank you! Now comes the fun part - creating the vehicle. Trying to stay cool and hoping for some rain.
DeleteYour landscape is coming together so well...
ReplyDeleteVERY hot and humid here...our dew point is already 76~~ So AC for me...
Hugs from afar julierose
Hot and humid here too - there's a tornado warning out for the Toronto area and hopefully it won't amount to anything or slide this way. We could certainly use a good rainfall though.
Deletethat looks like so much fun! I recently made some small banners (6"x8") for a project someone was doing of USA national parks....It was so enjoyable! I made one from a photo I took of a glacier at Glacier Bay Nat. Park and another of a mountain at Guadalupe Mts. Nat. Park.....I could easily get addicted to doing this........I'm sure part of the secret is finding the perfect fabric.....looks like you have it down to a science!
ReplyDeleteIt IS fun - or at least I'm thinking it is. I spend a lot of time contemplating how I'm going to do certain steps but it sure is addicting.
DeleteYou have done a lot already. Looks great.
ReplyDeleteRight now we are getting a mega storm . Hopefully it will get rid of the humidity.
Hope your storm doesn't do any damage - that's the problem with extended periods of heat and humidity because it often leads to big damaging storms. We would be very happy with a couple of days of nice gentle rain but we rarely get what we want!
DeleteShoo that summery heat down to me....please, pretty please. =) Loving your landscape, lovely Mary Anne.
ReplyDeleteWe will gladly share a bit of it with you Kim, but not too much because I love summer. Alas no stitching happened here today - hope for better things tomorrow.
DeleteIt must be difficult to get in work mode when it's so hot. It hasn't been a real hot summer so far, here in NS. I'm lucky as my studio is nice & cool in summer and it's rare to put on the AC - nice for working. Your piece is coming along. You are a very quick worker on these landscapes.
ReplyDeleteI find working in the heat is better because it takes my mind off the discomfort. At least stitching is okay, not so much a fan of working on larger projects that require sitting beneath them in the heat.
DeleteI think your quote should have read "hot stuff". It's winter here and I recently got myself motivated to do some sewing, and BAM! what do I do but hurt my back. So my list of things I need to do, and things I want to do is getting longer and time is getting shorter. Hope the pain killers I got today help. I love reading your daily musings.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I'm so sorry you've hurt your back! I've done that and know just how painful it is. Yes, I suppose 'hot stuff' fits here these days. Today is supposed to be the hottest yet. Take care of you!
DeleteGlad you're finding a way to stay somewhat cool. I believe your art work can compete with any of those "eye candy" sites. You do awesome work. I enjoy watching them progress. I'm always amazed.
ReplyDeleteAw - thank you Joy! What a nice thing to say. Today it has been impossible to stay cool and I haven't managed to do a single thing but contemplate my navel. At least I've come up with a few ideas of how to progress on my landscape but nothing's going to happen until it cools off a bit. Hope you're staying cool!
DeleteI agree it looks like you've done a lot! Looking forward to all the details you'll add. I love the embroidered dandelions! And the fabrics the designer used.
ReplyDeleteThe next step for the landscape is the interesting one - can I, or can't I, make a vehicle that looks realistic. The jury is still out on that one!
DeleteWhat a great start! You have already achieved a great background! Hope it's cool enough in your sewing room to get some more completed! Christine xx
ReplyDeleteIt certainly wasn't cool enough yesterday and I didn't manage to do anything but try to stay still. I don't mind the heat but when the humidity starts to come into play I'm not so happy.
DeleteI see you have worked your magic again, this time with the realistic water. You are a talented Artist and I love following each new landscape. If the quote is correct, then I am as thin today, as a needle. LOL
ReplyDeletePlease send down some heat.
I lucked out and found the perfect fabric(s) to signify the water - at least at this stage of the design anyway. And I'm sending you some warmth - but not too much because I still want it to be summer here!
DeleteGreat beginning to this new landscape. Lots of fun links you have shared. I am HOT and very expanded! 107F at 6:30 pm. Whew!
ReplyDeleteHot and expanded - well I guess there are worse things! You must be so thankful you have a/c!
DeleteI have the heat/expand issue too lol....
ReplyDeleteI think most of us do , particularly after been stuck at home in close proximity to the fridge all these months!
