It's Summer!

Summer is here! In western Oregon, that means 2-3 months relatively free of rain. For me that means trying to do a zillion things during those precious dry months that are difficult to do when it's wet and muddy. And I never have enough time to do much more than make a small dent in my list of things to do. So far, I've managed to cross off 2 major items: set up a canopy (so I have a dry place to work under if it does rain) and add a deck to my sewing shed. Still have to add drywall to shed and prepare and move my trailer to a new spot with a better view and hopefully more sunshine.

Now that the Olympics are on TV, I'm getting even less done. Well, less outside stuff and computer stuff. I am making headway on a redwork project. And I gathered up 8 quilt tops that need to be sandwiched and quilted. I can do things like that while half-watching the TV, but my back is toward the TV when I'm at the computer. Once the rain returns, I'll spend more time at the computer and blogging.
