July 19:  I finished the Garden Lattice Cowboy Christmas (boots & hats) quilt 70x80.  I used that pattern so I could use large pieces of the fabric, which is beautiful.  However, it didn't show up like I had hoped.  I did find a good backing fabric from my backing stash and now it is in the longarm UFO stash.  I made 2 small pillows (not stuffed) and a top for a sham--to be finished when I quilt the Garden Lattice quilt.  I also finished the curved log cabin quilt that I saw on the internet.

   

July 20:  After surfing the internet as long as I could, I got up and started on the floors.  Today I'm dry mopping, wet mopping with a floor cleanser, and then applying a finish; then DH is buffing the floors.  I put this off because Smokey tracked in and also had accidents, both with his throat and just plain accidents.  Poor baby, he couldn't help it.  Anyway, we will put down new area rugs in the dining room and the great room after I clean and apply finish to the floors.  I will have the dining room, kitchen, hallway, spare bedroom upstairs done today, plus cleaning the tile foyer and the tile in the main bath and in the laundry room.  It will take awhile to get the creases and bumps out of the round rug in the dining room so it's good that we got started.  The floor looks so much better.  In another year or so, DH will lightly spray some of the traffic areas where the finish is gone.  Anyway it will be good to have this done.  I want to do the master bedroom, master bath, and the other 
bedroom tomorrow--if I have enough finish.  If not, I'll wait until we get more as DH ordered it.  I'll wash the throw rugs and do a good "summer" cleaning as I do the floors.

August 1:  The floors are done--and look really nice.  I said it was the last time I was going to do them but they look so nice I may have to do it again!  I started another quilt on my list (Rippled Sunbonnet Sue embroidered blocks) and had the top minus borders finished by 7/27.  I'm quilting from stash again and couldn't figure out what to do for borders since there's not a lot of the fabric used in the top left for borders.  Guess that will be an easy finish for August!!
