I love this time of year. I always notice the shadows begin looking different in August. It won't be long until fall comes, which is my favorite time of year. I remember as a little girl going school clothes shopping. We bought a lot of our clothes at Sears. I remember all the different plaid dresses they always had. I guess something about plaid fabric and school go together, at least back in the 60s.
I look forward to turning off the A/C and opening the windows. Maybe we will even get a chance to go camping and sit around the campfire drinking coffee. I told Greg if I had to I would go set up the tent myself and he was welcomed to join me. Of course, that would be quite a show, me trying to set up the tent by myself.
I got my sewing machine out yesterday and did some mending. I think today I will finish a skirt I started several years ago. I also found two skirts I had cut out several years back. One of them is a flannel and the other corduroy. I love corduroy fabric, it is my favorite cold weather fabric. One day I would like to make a quilt out of corduroy scraps I have and back it with flannel. I saw one in Colorado in 1989 and have wanted to make one all of these years. I think it would be very warm.
Fall always makes me want to sew and cook.

That would be a nice quilt! :)
I love corduroy too and have some brown, fine wale fabric stashed that I need to do something with. Maybe a jumper for the cooler weather.
