Just home from the Post Office mailing all but one of the fabric packages. The last one will be mailed on Monday. Thank you everyone!!! Stopped at the grocery store on my way home for dinner. It's so hot I bought Popsicles. Mr. Creations has a choice of dinner!
Speaking of hot and Popsicles...please remember your wonderful mail carrier. They bring you those fun packages filled with fabric goodness and other surprises. However, I don't suggest you leave it in the mailbox. I fill a disposable cup with ice and a popsicle and put it in my freezer. When I see the mail truck coming down the street I grab the cup and wait for my lovely mail lady.
As this is a totally random post and many of you have kindly asked about Abby...She is now leash-free and able to chase bunnies around the yard. It's so hot chasing may be more of a fast walk right now! And she is allowed down into the coolness of my basement sewing studio to keep me company. So far so good. Time will tell if there is complete recovery or need for further investigating. Abby asked me to give tail wags and doggie kisses to her blog friends.
Lastly, I love Stargazer lilies. They are not only gorgeous but have a spicy sweet aroma. Heady stuff! I also love my Nikon Coolpix S8000, however it's been having issues after 3 years and the extended warranty I purchases is now expired, of course. I sent a letter to Nikon and got a phone call verifying my email address as their tech support would be contacting me. They did. We've have a few back and forth sessions...they ask the questions, I provide the answers. They must not have like my last answer because there has been no further communication. Although I expected no response at all I'm pleasantly surprised they contacted me at all. Now what will the result be?
I take all of my own photos for my pattern covers. Now my camera works when it wants to and I'm in a quandary about what to do -- I think the cost of whatever repair would not be worth it so it's more likely I'll need to buy a new camera. In my letter to Nikon I did express how many times I've recommended this camera. I like the point and shoot because they are easier to "drive." Bigger and more powerful cameras are like asking me to fly a spaceship.
Things should last longer than 3 years. For instance...my daughter is now the owner of her dad's Canon 35 mm camera he bought in 1977. Still works like a charm. Still has the "hippie" camera strap.
Stay cool. Eat popsicles.

Popsicles for dinner--my kind of buffet. Three years seems to be a long life for a camera built in the last couple decades, it seems to me too. Unfortunately. Altho this time around, my husband was in either Best Buy or Fry's... (I was not with him) and found a discontinued camera for an unbelievable thirty bucks. It's a 12- megapixel with a zoom. Kodak Easyshare that will send pics to FB and to email addresses. Cool tool. And for the right price too. A camera shouldn't cost hundreds of dollars if it's only going to last a couple years. Good luck in your search for another one, Stephanie.
Glad to hear Abby is doing great! Now a little less heat and she can take a hike.
Sorry about your camera! I guess they want cameras to last for a few years, to be able to sell new ones.
How sweet of you to think of your mail lady! She will probably hope to have a post for you every day!
Happy weekend.
Sound lovely with some heath . If you want some chill/ cooling down be sure to take a holiday in Norway during summer time ...
My husband just brought me a glass of red wine. I am happy again ;-)
PLease give Abby a hug from me , she is so cute..
To the camera thing. I still have my camera Nikon from 1982 and it is still working. 3 years is nothing for a camera with Nikon on the forehead.
I love random.
In my country those are called ice lollies :) I never had a pomegranate one though.
Lovely pic of Abby looking very pensive.
I just looked at my camera which is a Nikon Coolpix 4600 and still going strong after 7 years.

My kids want to go to your house for dinner! And my postman wants to deliver to your house too I think. Though here you would need to substitute the Popsicle with hot cocoa. Not really feeling the summer here....
Good to hear Abby is doing well :)
Love your menu. I leave an orange for my mail person. We have two trees, and he's really just helping us out by taking one.
So happy with the doggie kisses!
Sorry to hear about your camera. Seems like antiques are the only things that still work. Sounds like something is loose insides if it works sometimes.
Hugs
I am hooked on those Fruit bars too...peach, mango and pineapple are my favorites!
Oh...and my Joann's didn't have the new fabrics you showed the other day...we are always behind out west. I was able to find the DS feedsack look-alike and get enough for the backing for my DS Granny Squares topper, though!
Delicious dinner! Our warm weather has turned into rain for the whole next week ...
We love popsicles here, too! I never thought about giving them to the mail carrier, though. We usually just give them a bottle of iced tea! Great idea! I wonder if there are any doggy-sicles ;>) Love your lilies - just beautiful! Good luck with the camera!
Cheers!
As I sit here on my deck eating pizza, it occurs to me that I never thought of eating popsicles!! Fun!! Nice choices too. Glad to hear that Abby is able to chase bunnies now and I bet she is happy as a clam. I say if you have to get a camera go Canon, I love mine and never have had problems.
I'll be over for the popsicle dinner tonite! What time are you serving??? SO happy to hear Abby's good news. Hope it's the end of her issues. Give her a big human kiss for me!!
So glad to have the update on Abbey, and to know she at least has the option of running if she wanted to.
Do popsicles fit in a doggie dish?
Your mail lady must love you as much as Abby does!
Popsicles for dinner works for me. :0)
Glad to hear Abby can be a dog again.
I think our camera is about the same age and it is messing up too. It is a Canon. We actually have 35mm Canon from 1977 too but the seal has deteriorated. I think from living in Florida for so many years caused that.
You are so very thoughtful. Your lovely mail lady must love you.
im catching up... popsicles sound like a great idea for breakfast, lunch and supper! way to warm for me. i love all the fabrics in the post below...enjoy your evening steph!
Yep, lots of popsickles and ice cream being eaten around here. And I've got the extra lbs to prove it. LOL
YEA,for Abby! So glad she's getting up and down the stairs and out chasing bunnies again. This week has been much cooler, so I'm sure she's loving the freedom. :)
What a pain about the camera. I've had my Canon G2 since 2002. I'd really like to get a new one, but can't justify it since this one still works fairly well for me.
I hope the Nikon people come through for you and make it right.

A fabulous idea looking after your postie, they are worth their weight in gold with all the fabric they bring to us!!! So glad to hear Abby is well, but the heat is not good, I hope it settles soon. xo
