summer's here

Don't forget to enter the giveaway!  It ends on Wednesday, June 27.
 
Summer is here and it sure is warm. At least for me. 

I used to love the heat. I lived in Australia for 6 months, right during the summer, and I loved the heat.  Now, if it is 23Celcius, I'm good.  Anything warmer and I just don't know what to do with myself any more! 

With it being summer, I am sure spending less and less time sewing and thinking about sewing.  Though I do have a pair of shorts cut out and waiting to be sewn up for D. They are from the most recent Ottobre magazine.


 Stinking cute!  
I am using a dark blue linen-ish fabric.  I am not really sure it is linen.  It seems to me to be more of a rayon linen wannabe.  The pockets on the side will be the balloon fabric from the Children at Play line by Sarah Jane.  

But this week is supposed to be rather warm, so D and I will most likely be on the deck in the shade spending some quality time in the kiddy pool.  Or as D calls it, the cool.

I am not doing much sewing, but I am doing some receiving.  
I received this package from Cherie for the June A Little Fabric A Little Chocolate Swap.


I know.  There's no chocolate.  But since being pregnant, chocolate has lost it's allure.  It's sad really because I truly got a lot of enjoyment from eating bits of chocolate.  Hopefully this problem rectifies itself after the baby is born.
Instead of chocolate, I asked for scraps and some squares.  She sent a bunch of squares.  I will have to find something to make with them now since they are not right for the hexy playmat.  
Maybe granny squares?  Hmmm.

I also received today a giveaway win from Art Gallery Fabrics.  
A while ago, she had a scrap giveaway on Facebook and I emailed my address and got to be included in the mass mailing of scraps!


Now, there is a lot of green in here.  For those of you who know me, green is not a favourite colour.  
However.  
I like these.  
I could become friends with green yet.
