I Double Dog Dare You Summer Breeze

We have a new group to take crafting to a whole new limit which we are proudly calling I Double Dog Dare You. I am Double Dog Daring you for our first challenge which we are calling Summer Breeze. Ok, granted, I know the heat has soared to new heights this summer in some areas but let's have some sweet thoughts of our "Happy Place". Now again, just as a reminder, the only limit to our wonderful creative group will be their creativity and how much they push it!

See the curtains hangin' in the window in the evenin' on a Friday night
A little light a-shinin' through the window lets me know everything is alright
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
blowing through the jasmine in my mind
See the paper layin' on the sidewalk a little music from the house next door
So I walked on up to the doorstep through the screen and across the floor
Sweet days of summer the jasmine's in bloom
July is dressed up and playing her tune
And I come home from a hard day's work and you're waiting there not a care in the world
See the smile a-waitin' in the kitchen food cookin' and the plates for two
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me in the evening when the day is through
Summer Breeze Lyrics by Seals and Croft

We have a super creative group of ladies that are participating this month as this will be a monthly challenge where the players may change but the creativity is phenomenal:

Participant Blog Addies for Summer Breeze

I’m the start of today’s hop and thrilled that not only have you come to visit me but you are here for the very first viewing of what I am affectionately calling “Triple D” … I Double Dog Dare You to Create this . . . .

Now, to showcase my creativity, I have for you a wall hanging which is approximately 16 x 27 inch quilt which is an appliqué quilt and then machine quilted. With my current health situation and vision … I had wanted to add glass beads to the flowers to add sparkle which will be done to finish and complete my quilt. This quilt pattern is an adaptation of a Pine Meadows Designs by Connie D. Roys which she calls Sarah. Reminds me of the commercial of where two people are funning towards each other in a field of daisies…. I hope you are enjoying my “Summer Breeze” which is my happy place where I would wish to be in this meadow, soft flowing dress and . . .





With all this being said, sadly, I must send you on your way to our next super crafty friend, Kimberly who is not only a wonderful crafter but my BFF and accomplice in crime.. Summer breeze makes me feel fine; blowing through the jasmine in my mind

Stay tuned for next month for I Double Dog Dare YOU. If you want to particpate, please, let either Lynne Kirsch at hercraftiness@gmail.com or Kimberly Pate at KPKre8tions@gmail.com where we are going to be challenging your creativity mojo where the only limit is yourself with a theme of "First Readers"

God Bless and thank you for stopping by
Hugs, Love, and Pixie Dust
