July already!

 I think I've definitely lost track of time!  Can't believe I haven't posted since April!  If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you know I'm not just laying around eating bon-bons, lol!  But here's a little recap for those who still follow me here:

This has become one of my favorite patterns for tie-dyeing shirts, and now cover up dresses... always comes out interesting, and frequently contains surprises!

I dyed some rope to make a Spring rainbow bowl

Decided to try some black rope and boy does it make this fabric pop!

Tried Jute rope, and it has become a favorite!

This fabric definitely needed white rope - now I'm ready to find more fabrics with white in the

design!

On the home front, I finally arranged to have our deck repaired and renovated - it was over 20 years old, and we neglected it.  Needed some boards replaced, and the couple who did the work did a fabulous  job!  Here is a photo of the end result:

As for the weather, we are already in Monsoon season here!  It usually doesn't really get started until mid July, but it came early and it looks like that "mild, dry summer" predicted was way off base!  I'm glad, because the monsoons cool the temps, and we started hitting 80's in late May, and have already had temps in the 90's a couple of days!

On a totally different front, look who is in our yard this year!  We actually have a pair, and we think there are babies somewhere, just haven't spotted them yet!

And on that note, I hope you're having a great summer!  More to come, hopefully before the end of the season, so stay tuned!
