Summer has arrived

The last days we have had wonderful summer weather.  Feels so good after a long and cold winter.  Hope the warm weather has come to stay.

May 17th is Norways constitution day and it is always fun to dress up in our bunader and go to see the parade.

Long time since I could enjoy some sewing out on the porch.  But now the temperature is so good. On May 17th I sat outside stitching almost all evening.

Two new books has arrived and I love them.  I have looked through them so many times now, and still discovers something new each time.  Wonderful quilts in both books.

You both look beautiful in your dresses - what a wonderful tradition. Summer has been stopping by teasing us with some warm temps and then bringing back in the cool again. I have hope lol.
