July is nearly over- unbelievable! I do not have much to show for this summer as far as sewing or art projects. I've had some medical issues, the worst of which is a broken bone in my right leg. I did not fall or anything, but both of my legs started bothering me at the beach when we were walking on the long boardwalk. I finally got to see my orthopedic foot specialist, who diagnosed a displaced fracture of the fibula. I was walking around on it for a month, so he thinks it may heal on its own with just a lace-up ankle brace. The other ankle is the one that has bothered me most for years, so I guess I am falling apart.
I have been looking at ideas for a baby quilt for my new granddaughter, due in September. The nursery theme is going to be garden...think flowers, birds, butterflies, and topiary. Here is one I made a few years ago for a Capital Quilters Guild challenge.
The color scheme is not too far off from Layla's nursery palette, with pastels mixed with a few brights.
Baby's mama Emily liked this pattern that I found on Pinterest, so I have been making drawings for something along that line. I'll probably use the light green for the border.
I also have done a few more Bible art journaling pages.

This weekend we are going back to Carolina Beach for a special family wedding. My daughter-in-law's mother is marrying a wonderful man. They live near Raleigh, but have been renovating a house on the Intercoastal Waterway where we stayed with the family last April. Our little granddaughter will be a flower girl. I can't wait to get back down there! I need to get a pedicure...or should I bother when my toes will be peeking out from this black lace-up brace?
