A good reason to stay inside and sew

Whew, it was hot today. A good reason to stay inside and sew.

I finished this and hung it at the front door.
My neighbor gave me these doilies and asked if I could do something with them for her. I am making them into pin cushions. I still need to stuff them and sew closed.

She also gave me these doilies and asked for me to do something with them. I thought of Sunbonnet Sue--so it seems to have worked. The pink fabric has little sunbonnet sues on it, but it is hard to see. I need to bind it.

I gave this runner to my SIL for her birthday on Sunday. She liked it. It was simple to do--a 2 hour Saturday project!!

And, this is Sammi, our dog. My hubby took 3 of the girls, his brother, nephew, and Sammi back-packing for the next few days. Sammi even carries her own pack. I just had to take a photo because it is so cute!! I miss the family, when they go on back-packing trips, but I welcome a break from the dog. I love her dearly, but it is nice to mop, sweep, go in and out without the dog's help :)!! Hope Tuesday was terrific for all!~!~
Be nice to people,
Julie
