my husband came and helped me move my newish sewing machine up to the studio, and now all that's left is to learn to thread it, wind a bobbin, what the knobs, buttons and sliders do... lol
We had some more normal temps for Colorado summer this week, mid to high 80's and we both loved being able to walk early morning and not spontaneously combust!

Welcome to this week's list of likes, starting with my puppy Alfie, 2 years old, and is developing a real sense of humor! He is greeting human friends now without prompting, and today greeted a schnauzer while out on a walk.
