I'm quite exhausted now and look forward to a nice little sewing break after Jane Fest.But first I need to get through this weekend with temperatures in the 90's it will be a killer sitting outside as a vendor. Remind me again why do i do this?
Have a great time Julia! :-) I can't wait to hear how it went when you get back.
