Walk on the "Wild" Side

 It's almost the first of August and I have to ask how did it get here so fast? It seems like we just arrived in the mountains but that was May 8. My Auntie Ruthie who lived to be 102 said the years seemed shorter the older she got. She was right. I'm not 102, but I "feel" her wisdom. To that end, it was time to shake things up. So I did...I had my fingernails painted blue. For me, that's a major walk on the wild side.

Isn't that a pretty blue? I normally do a quiet shade of light pink, so this is a major departure. I also gave my manicurist the baby blanket I made for her little girl who is supposed to arrive early next month. 
She really liked the blanket as did everyone else at the beauty shop. 
It's now time to get ready for Fair. I love seeing what all the kids have been doing to get their critters ready for the big events that happen starting next week. It's August in the high country.

But it is still July 31st, why are you pushing it? Love the nails and especially the baby blanket! You should enter it into the Fair!

A beautiful blue and perfect in shape! Wow! You really “Stepped Out”, Eileen. Oh how sweet & delicate with your attention to each stitch of lovely covering for new baby girl & touch of mother’s cheek.
