Hot summer days...

Venturing out has not been high on the list here the past week or so.  Just too hot.  Sick of it already.  So to keep busy, projects are being completed and checked off our lists.

The second set of shams are now adorning Miss B's bed.  Who knew that this is all it would take for her to make sure her bed is made every morning and have it looking "gorgeous".

While I've been busy with the sewing machine, the girls have kept themselves occupied with their own creations.  It's nearly fair time.  And the creative bug has taken hold of the girls again.  

Em completed her upcoming entry.

Even Miss B went all out this time and hand sewed a bunny to enter this year.  Hand sewn all by herself!  No help from me except for little suggestions of what would work best for her to complete it.  Very meticulous work for an 8 yr. old.

And when the pillow sham were completed, there were two projects left on the sewing list that I just had to get moving on.

A summery dress for the hot summer days Miss B must endure.  Not like she will be outside any time soon after her mishap with a hornet yesterday afternoon.  She has sworn off going outside the rest of the summer so she won't have to deal with the little buggers again.  At least until the fair gets here.  Gotta love her.

And a summery top for Em made with her very own fabric choices.  She loved the ones I made so much that a trip to the fabric store was made from her own picks.  It turned out way cute for her.

As of tonight I will be working on Glenn's blanket in hopes of getting it finished soon.  I figured that during these next couple of weeks will be a perfect time work on it while tuning into the Olympics.  Slowly but surely he will get his comfy blanket to cuddle up with.  Cross fingers that lots of progress is made during this time.
