It's hot. It's been really hot here in the Midwest and I'm sure most everywhere else. I wont complain because summers here are fleeting and before we know it we'll be up to our eyeballs in the white stuff so I'll enjoy it while it lasts.
It does make it a bit more difficult to enjoy the hot summers when you live in a very old house without central air. The other night it was just too hot to even sit on the sofa and watch tv that I turned on the window AC unit in the bedroom and retired to my sewing nook that's tucked in one of the eaves up in our attic bedroom. Thanks to the heat I now have a set of linen napkins that I've been meaning to make up for awhile now. I was able to get six 18x18 dinner sized napkins out of a 1.5 yard remnant of linen that was on sale. I love how soft linen gets as you use it and wash it. No more wasteful paper napkins and it adds a touch of luxury to everyday meals.

I can sympathize with you on the heat! But cloth napkins are a great way to make the best of it.
What a great idea & way to pass the time. I love the colour.
The napkins came out great I hope the heat dies down around there.
