A Tropical HeatWave

I hope all of you are staying cool, wherever you are. We are having a summer wave of heat which has pushed our heat index well over the 100 degree mark. Mr. Gnome and I have continued our boycott of installing the window air conditioner unit downstairs -- we did give in and install one upstairs. This has only been the second time we turned it on since its installation. Since having only one running doubles our electric bill, we have done what we can to conserve.

progress made

I've been allowing myself little bits of here-and-there crafty time. I started two separate projects. One is tedious, time consuming and I know I can't finish it in one sitting - but it is something I can pick up for 15 minutes at a time, no problem. The other is increasing my stash of zipper pouches.
