This is day four of miserable heat sent to us by way of the jet stream. I like it much better when the jet stream does this in January, rather than July. Day one wasn’t so bad, as it was dry heat; day two was the hottest day recorded this summer so far (96 degrees) and sweaty. Yesterday was not quite as hot – 93 degrees (funny it felt as hot!) and today maybe only 89, but still hot and now HUMID. Bless the lakes (esp Lake MICHIGAN), they keep us cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, but also more humid. I thought a picture of a nice cool glacier would be appropriate for today. If only. And why is it that on the hottest days of the year, my cats insist on lap sitting?
I worked on the Double Dutch Sampler last night for 3.25 hours. Instead of taking a picture with my digial camera this week, I used a scanner. There is a big difference in brightness compared to week 1. Also, I included another pair of my scissors. These are also from Bohn in France. They are lion’s tails scissors named Blue Marmo and I bought them from Silent Stitches
You can click on either picture to either think cool or see try to see the boo boo I made last night.
You Double Dutch is coming along beautifully! HOT, I hear ya. We went to the pool for an hour and that was plenty. Yesterday it hit 100 but registered 104 in the car – yikes! Today it’s cooler, 97, ha!
Hi Julie,
I guess we’ll be seeing each other while stitching the PS wreath! I love your Double Dutch sampler. Your stitching is beautiful!

Thanks for the tip on Silent Stitches. Hadn’t heard of them before and now I’ve been hooked!! I ordered 2 pair of scissors yesterday. They said to thank you too.
