This summer has been miserable! Up until last week we have been in a terrible heat wave and drought. Everything in the yard has withered and died. My daylillies briefly bloomed and my elephant ears were wilted.
Thankfully, last week the temps dropped slightly and it rained for about 3 days. The rest of the country is in a heat wave now. Our heat is not as bad. Today the high will be 90*F, of course humidity is 93%. So going outside is stepping into a sauna! And unlike the rest of the country....we have air conditioning!
How to beat the heat:
1) Read a book
2) Put a puzzle together
3) Earn a badge
4) Watch a movie
I'm not happy about the new price increase....but I'm not giving up my movies.
5) Sew (early in the day or late at night!)
This is a new Alz. quilt. It still needs some work. Sewing during the middle of the day is too hot! So it takes a long time to finish anything in the summer. Speaking of sewing. I have almost finished my fabric doll. I still need to finish her hair and add some more details.
Happy Quilting

I can't even sew early in the day ...it's about 100 here today. Hoping for a break! Stay cool!
Your weather sounds horrible. Here it's about 61, which is not good for the middle of summer!
I think your doll could be called Emerald or Saphire, judging by her colour
Your doll is lovely. Have you come up with a name yet? If she were mine I think I'd call her Merina don't ask me why that's just what comes when I look at her :)
