Summer Blog Hop {Day 9}

Hello!!!!! Welcome back! 

Today is {Day 9} on our Summer Blog Hop! 

Today is exciting on the hop as we are featuring a NEW designer, Lynette, from Lynette Anderson Designs!  She is a fantastic Australian designer whom I know many of you have came to love!  Before I move forward on blog hop.... I would like to take a moment and let you all know that our FREE "Let it Snow" Mystery BOM, Block N was released today!  The pattern is available to download for FREE on our website:  www.buttermilkbasin.com under Mystery BOM.  You can also order kits online.  Don't forget to head over to our Facebook page: Buttermilk Basin and leave a comment for a chance to WIN one of 13 kits that we are giving away!  If you haven't joined in on the fun & exciting block of the month... we would love to have you! 

Back to the HOP!!!!  Did you enjoy Tracy's sweet little garden pocket?  I love how she got creative and added the little triangles on the side!  This project is also fun as it combines wool & stitchery!  Two of my FAV mediums!  Add the toweling... and magic happens!!  I can't wait to see everyone's projects!  Don't forget to share them with us on our FB page!!! 

As I mentioned earlier, we are thrilled to have Lynette in our blog hop!  I can't wait to see what she has in store for us!  I know it will be on the smaller side and simply adorable!  Next time I see her, I will be getting a lesson on her technique for small (really small) needle turn applique!  Have you seen her work?  Stunning!  I have no clue how she can work that small!  I strongly encourage you to go enjoy her website and see all her delightful designs!!! 

 I am not sure I believe Lynette when she says she doesn't have a green thumb!  Check out these darling plants, growing ever so lovely!  They are gorgeous!  For more summer facts from Lynette, please read below!  Then be sure to click the link, also below, and head over her way for more fun & her complimentary project!!

1.  Green Thumb or No?  If so, tell us about your flower bed or garden. My gardening is all done with needle and thread as I don't like getting my hands dirty. We do have herb garden as we love to cook, there is nothing better than having fresh herbs to use in your cooking.
2.  Average temperature where you live during the summer? 63ºF to 83ºF and humid (yuk)
3.  How do you stay cool during the summer? Float in the pool, or put the air con on!
4.  Favorite summer drink? Its hard to choose, it depends what time of the day it is!! am: iced tea or pm: Lemon, Lime and Bitters
5.  How did you celebrate the 4^th of July? Its not a day we celebrate, we enjoy Australia Day in January when we wave our flags and get into the holiday spirit.
6.  What type of s’mores do you like?  Standard or? Any s’more is a good s’more - want to try one Australia style well follow this link to discover how we do s’mores Aussie style http://www.sweetestkitchen.com/2013/07/how-to-make-smores-in-australia/
7.  Do you frequent any farmer’s markets during the week? There are lots of farmers markets near us sometimes its hard to choose which one to go to. 
8.  Favorite fruit?  Blackberries or maybe raspberries…put plainly I love berries.
9.  Do you do any handwork outside during the week? I like sitting on my deck stitching on the weekends as the natural light is so nice.
10.  Favorite summer tradition? Its daylight around 4.30am midsummer and we love to take our dog for an early morning walk on the beach while its cool and uncrowded.
