Yes it's Hot Here

Like everyone else I am over the heat but it looks like its going to continue till next weekend.  I am afraid the pool is no relief the water is like a bath now.  We are only letting the kids out early morning and late evenings for a swim and a quick dip in the middle of the day and they have to stay under the shade.  I am not bothering as I think a quick cold shower gives more relief.  We have aircon but it is struggling and at least we haven't so far had any blackouts unlike others her in Adelaide and Melbourne. 

A couple of weeks ago I sent of the first birthday swap for the year.    Here it is, I used hand dyed embossed velvet, lace, organza, grunge board, calico, vintage images and Lutradur to make the cobweb effects.  I had quite a bit of fun putting it all together and one or two sleepless nights over it.
