WINDSOR FRUIT WINDSOR WARE NEW TABLECLOTH

 I recently made a new tablecloth which
has a little more drama to it for my fall
Windsor Ware dishes:


I had just enough left over to make a topper
for the kitchen table which you can see in the
distance on the left back of the photo above.


Today I was very excited as I found
a teapot on Ebay and it wasn't as
expensive as others.  There are some
crazy prices for this pattern but I got
my plates years ago in Colorado in an
antique mall at a very reasonable price.




August in our state is very hot so I get my 
garden work done early and then after 
cleanup I go sew.  Here is the fabric
close up:


I think I must be a confused sort because I
love very pastels and shabby chic soft but
then I also like dramatic colors.



This is how the place setting looks:







I hope you are keeping cool
and have a wonderful summer.

I haven't baked much lately but I also
made Peanut Butter Cookies and put
some of the cookies and the cake in
the freezer for the future.





TRYING TO KEEP COOL!

 We have been enjoying our summertime 
but also each day we watch the weather
forecast for the next day and try to keep cool. 
 Working in the garden must happen early as
 late it is still too hot and of course their
are abundance of mosquitos.


I went out this morning for just 1 hour.
It was only 84 degrees but the humidity was 75%!



My camera lens kept fogging up when
I took these photos.





Yesterday the temperature reached 100 degrees
here in Missouri so we thank the Lord
for air conditioning!
