Hot day cool sit and sew

Last night, before the storm came some of us went to Donna's house for a sit and sew! It was so nice to be in air conditioning!!! My house is so hot, this was wonderful!! I tried to get some photos, Tracee proved to be elusive....and she has a lovely new haircut that needed to be shown off, but no I had no luck! Donna made me an amazing drink.....sorry Donna I have forgotten the name again!! Maybe you can add it in here..??  Sure, it's called an 'Aperol Spritz'. It consists of one part Aperol (a light orange aperitif, similar to Campari), two parts Prosecco, topped up with soda water, ice cubes, and a curl of orange peel. It's a perfect drink for hot weather and so refreshing.
Yum!

Tracee, Me, Tania, Marg and Donna

visitors to the back yard (I've decided to call them Phryne and Dot, after the 'Miss Fisher Mysteries')

I have discovered a new place on the camera so you can take two photos and combine them as one, but I was too slow to get Tracee.....she moves quickly.....but you can kind of see her lovely haircut! 

Tania and Donna being brave and deciding which magazines she will keep and which go to the op shop!

I was too slow again...Tracee hiding and Marg smiling her beautiful smile!
We had a lovely evening, lots of chatting and catching up, eating and drinking too of course..you have to keep up your fluids on a hot evening!! Thank you Donna for hosting us. I forgot to get photos of what people were working on!! Next time!!

Donna



In the midst of all the activity Donna was calmly putting together and finishing the 2nd last star square made with her wonderful fabrics from all over the world, this one had cats on it! What's happening with the purple fabric Donna?
