Origin of
August:
August
was the 6th
month in the early Roman calendar, named after Julius Caesar
Augustus.
August
flower: Gladiolus.
August
has two birthstones, PERIDOT and SARDONYX: Peridot is among the oldest known gemstones. It ranges from olive
to lime green, sometimes with a brownish tinge. Sardonyx is a gem with white and brown bands and it is believed to
have mystical powers: it eliminates negative thinking!
But the most important event today is... HorSeS BirTHdaY...
On the sewing front...
I've been adding some leaves...
And I purchased a new tool...
Can NEVER have enough of these, can we...
A "wavy" ruler.
As a reminder too... Santa Sack 2012 gifts deadline is TODAY as well. So get those parcels off to your partner ASAP.

I'm with Shez here...what and how do you use the ruler for? This year is going waaay toooo quickly!
I'll let Shez explain the wave - I know what it is for. My gifties have been sent and received and I think squeezed and shaken. I hope for us here, August brings some cooler weather as well as rain.
