Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. The sun is making my whole back yard glow; but the forecast is for clouds and maybe storms later in the afternoon. It will only be around 80, so not so bad; though I do hope the rain holds off this evening.
I got the last tedious project finished last night while watching 3 new episodes of favorite shows. I started on the pinning project, but discovered a big mistake ... so spent time frogging it! LOL! I won't finish that tonight; but maybe Sunday.
I will be visiting a friend this evening and tomorrow, so no sewing or cleaning. Priorities you know! :)
