Summer pastimes

Summer is here, with its very hot days, and stormy weather as well!  Although I love summer gardens and festivals, this past weekend I decided to stay cool at home in the air conditioning.  I worked at my crafts table with embroidery and cotton threads, batting, yarn, and trims and fabrics continuing to work on the new doll.  But with the sunshine coming through the windows, after carefully adjusting the blinds, I was able to get a lot of sewing done.  Next week though, a summer festival with great lemonade stands and crafts will be in my plans...the Smithsonian Folklife Festival!
