It's SOOOOO HOT!

I know others around the country are having high temps too, and I know that I've lived through this before as a native Texan, BUT 107 is HOT! That's from the thermometer I have on the patio (which is in the shade most of the day). I don't know what the humidity is, but it's definitely a factor making it feel OVER 107.

I'm thinking of grilled cheese sandwiches and salad for dinner. I can just lay the bread with cheese on top on the front porch and it will melt in minutes!

Not much sewing last week. I worked at the Animal Hospital Wednesday - Saturday filling in for Doc's wife. She was at the University of North Texas (Denton, Texas) with #3 daughter getting registered and orientation.

The only sewing done was completing a pair of black scrub pants that I had started Monday or Tuesday. All that was left to be able to wear was to sew in elastic waist and hem. I wore them with the "horse" scrub you saw in an earlier post.

The order I had placed with Candlelight Fabrics arrived yesterday. Since they are going out of business, I decided I better get some nice fabric at sale prices. I got 2 pieces of Ambiance lining, 2 pieces of wool crepe for winter slacks and some of the silk knit pictured:



I've been wanting some silk knit for a while and have had trouble finding a print that I really liked that I felt I could afford. It feels so nice!

I also received a Burda pattern on Wednesday that I got from e-bay. I'll take a photo and add to this post later.

  1. Could you send a little of that heat north to Alaska? We have had record low temps and need some good weather for our sanity before winter starts.

    We are hot as blazes in the south but I think from the sound of this Texas does everything bigger including the heat. You could probably put the sun tea in a jar and sandwiches wrapped in foil and have a hot meal waiting when you got ready. Grilled cheese sandwich warmed outside and salad menu works for me. I am not about to turn on the oven here - outside heat for cooking is just fine. mssewcrazy
