Last week, Beth, Mary, and our other Karla came by for craft day. Of course, Button came along with Beth to play with Agnes Rosebud. Here they are in Beth's supply tote.
I hear that at home, Button rules the house. But when he comes to see Grammie, he gets a little shy and hangs out on his mom's lap as much as he can.
Mary worked on her glue book, Beth and Karla did needlework, and I dithered. Seems like I am spinning my wheels lately and not getting much of anywhere.
I hope to knuckle down and get something accomplished after my Indy trip. Is it the heat? Something has sapped the productivity right out of me.
Its much more fun to be playing out in the sunshine with the sprinkler and Sugarwings.
That could be the problem. Or, it is that I have so much I need to do, none of it is taking priority, I am just feeling swamped? Which isn't like me. The heat kinda makes me feel like I'm wading through molasses.
I do always seem to have too much on my plate, but I'm good at mental lists and working my way through things as they need to be getting done.
Hopefully, the trip away from the piles of to-do work will refresh my mind and get me focused.
Isn't that why we take vacations?
Or could it be that I've had so many trips that I can't quite get caught up when I get home any more?
Oh well, it all gets done somehow. And I'm lucky to get to spend a few days with loved ones. See you when I get back!
Please forgive me if I don't answer comments while gone. My sisses and I will be junkin, making stuff, and hanging out, non-stop this week.
But please do leave a comment, it will enter you in the drawing for either a free online dress form class, or a kit to make the dress form if you've already paid for the $15 class.
Packages will be shipped after I return, but if you order the dress form class, I can send the password to you on my Ipad, from Indiana.
The dorkies and Sugarwings. all in one post. looks like fun. Karla you get more done in a month than I do in a year or ten. Take a break , you deserve it.

I think the heat is zapping everyone’s productivity. I’m sure once it cools down and fall seems to be in the air you will be back in creative mode again. Just enjoy the down time and these fun summers with Sugarwings. 🙂
…we are having a be a slug afternoon Sunday…I have a pile of doll orders…two Halloween swaps…and a bucket of various dresses and outfits to finish….sometimes the slug wins…as a recoup then ill hit it again tomorrow…
After all the work you put into the ‘Birdsong Tag Swap’ I’m not surprise you’re feeling “behind the 8 ball”!!!!
I felt tired just looking at all the piles of tags on your work tables!!!! Time for YOU to chill LOL!!!
Your fab parcel arrived Saturday – SO EXCITING – THANKYOU!!
I’m totally “over the moon” with your beautifully co-ordinated collection of tags, each and every one has touched me with the amazing detail.
I can’t wait for your next swap.
Sending you some freezing cold temperatures and sunny skies from New Zealand where it’s winter just now and I’m sitting on top of the heater – I’d get inside it if I could!!!!!!!!!!!
hugs
karla I posted the other day of feeling the same .. it is the heat… I sat at my table and didn’t know what to do.. art as always been my escape, my studio my happy place but really i didn’t want to go in……luckly I’m starting to come out of the stump… falls will soon be here and hoping some cooler weather… have fun junking… hugs wendy
Dang those are two cute dogs and a sweet little girl.
I’ve been reading about the record heat that most of the country has been suffering with….I know when I get hot, I’m not nearly as efficient as I normally am. I hope you have a wonderful trip!
Christa
I really need a dorkie! LOL!
I blame it on the heat here, but after all you put into the wonderful Birdsong Tag Swap, I can well imagine that you need a little break from productivity! With Sugarwings and those two cute pups, why would anyone want to do anything but play?!
Hope your trip & visits are loads of fun!

Hi Karla
Just popping by to say WOW – I just got back from vacation and love my Bird Song Tag book! Soo darn sweet. I have to visit some of the talented ladies.
Lucky you to be off with family having fun. Enjoy!
Leann
You are too funny! You don’t think 150 Bird Song Tag Books could have anything to do with it? Go enjoy yourself. You deserve it!!!
I’ll do the same as Shane from New Zealand and send you some cooler weather from the Blue Mountains in Australia. We’ve had a few days of lovely spring weather but it’s now back to winter temperatures. Go and have a lovely break, you deserve it after all that swapping!
Sue
I love it when the puppies visit each other! Sugarwings has the right idea! Another trip! You are having a fun summer!
Beautiful dorkies and joyour Sugarwings. Both make me smile! I do know what you mean but, you know, you have been so productive with the retreat, your class online, the tag swap…you probably could use a little break, my friend!
Hugs,
Suz
Oh, girl! It’s hot in Indiana too! But seeing family will be great! Enjoy your visit. Oh…and that crazy woman trying to flag you down on the highway…that’s just me wanting to say hi as you go by.
btw: Luvin my bird tags!
Just dropping by to see what’s new. Enjoy some create time well deserved. Jealous, I wish I had more ‘free’ time. Sugarwings is darling, so is the yorkie. Have fun, catch you later.
I soooo know what ya mean…I’ve been a bum this whole summer. The heat and humidity has sucked out any thought of decorating or productivity…but today it’s about 30 degrees cooler than it was 2 days ago…yay!
I do believe it’s the heat! We are having these endless hot days that are all beginning to blur together. It seems that I have things started all over the place and nothing finished. I love summer and my swimming pool, but I think I’m starting to dream of cool fall days, working with the windows open.
