Summer Stinks

No really. Think about it. How many scents or smells do you associate with summer?? Just today I experienced - hay, sunscreen, watermelon, toasted marshmallows and a campfire. Yup, summer stinks. Isn't it so cool how we associate smells with memories? I love how a whiff of sunscreen can take me from north Idaho to a beach in southern California and also take me back a couple of decades at the same time. That is some GOOD sunscreen! :D

On Thursday I got the fabric for the We the People Tote Bag Swap and yesterday I was able to cut the fabric out and get a start on the sewing. Well this morning my guests headed to the farmer's market like they planned so I had some time to sew. I finished my tote!! WOOO HOOO! Here is a sneak peek at it;


Next, I will be sewing my swap apron.

Time for bed. I have Sunday school and church in the morning. No idea what the plans are for the afternoon. We do have some cooler temperatures forecast for a few days and that is a huge relief to me.
