I'm ready for Fall but the weather isn't.....


We had a cool week a few weeks ago here in the Piedmont of South Carolina (just below Charlotte). But the last two weeks have been rather warm and balmy. The humidity is horrible. It feels like July/August.

I feel sorry for all of those in Georgia with all the rain. We didn't get any of it. Our yard looks like a giant red clay brick. I haven't even cut the grass in over a month. Even the Married One had rain just about every day. She lives in Charlotte. TurfBoy is 2-1/2 hours west of us and had rain every day. I think all the rain just parted like the Red Sea around our little town and went right around us!


I usually don't put out the fall decorations until October 15th but it may be even later this year if the weather keeps up like this.

In the meantime, here is a pic of a woolie I made two years ago from a Buttermilk Basin pattern. It's not made into anything yet......just a rectangle. Maybe when it turns cooler I'll be in the mood to change it into something cute! I'm thinking maybe a pillow cover for one of the pillows on the couch.


Blessings, Cathi

Our weather here in Ohio has been cloudy, warm and humid this week too! UGH!
It is definately NOT hairs BFF!
I love your woolie. That would look great as a pillow.
Have a great weekend!

Love your woolie, Chathi!
I agree with Janene! this Ohio weather is not good for hair!! Mine feels and looks like a puff ball! LOL Kind of hard to get in the fall mood with warm humid days!

Take care,
~Kris~

Sorry no sympathy here - I'm one of those strange people who like NC weather (except when it's too cold). Cute grinning kitty - I have almost finished a wool project I'm thinking of framing.
