We are currently experiencing the hottest temperatures of the year; as I type this the thermometer reads 104 degrees. We have been promised no break in this pattern for the duration of the next week and beyond. So I thought I'd remind myself of the weather we were experiencing on February 11, 2010....... ahhhhh!!! Some of this COLD would feel good about now.
Because of the insufferable heat, I've opted to stay indoors working on projects and other things which require me to stay in the comfort of the air conditioning. I've been recovering the seat cushions to my dining room chairs. I finished the project in less time than I estimated; perhaps the heat wave was the motivation I needed. Regardless, here is the BEFORE.....
And the AFTER..... looks a little better with my lightened walls and window treatments. I will also be rotating the table coverings to balance the lighter, breezier feel of the room.
I continue the de-clutter project in my sewing room by sorting through the shelves of fabric, designating more for disposal than for keeping. I plan to notify all my gal pals in the local area who sew to come browse and take home some goodies. The rest will be donated.
So, no matter the duration of this infernal blast, I have plenty to keep me busy indoors. However, I am going stir-crazy to be some place taking photos! Tonight I intend to pack a sandwich and head to the lake around sundown. Surely I can find a thing or two worthy of digital capture.
Until another time...

Hi Gena - Just thought I would toss this idea at ya: If you have any bright colored fabric or kids' prints that you will be donating, I have started a new chapter of Quilts for Kids and we would love to have the fabric! I would be happy to reimburse you for the postage to send it to us. Let me know if that's something you would want to do. illianaquiltsforkids@cell1net.net
