Style Scouting: Vol. 151

Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Style Scouting. My Sunday post where I share the random stuff that captured my attention or inspired me that I found online.

A sunny day on lake murray

I remember when it wasn’t until August when the hot, hot, dog days began, but here we are right in the middle of July with temps in the danger zone later this week.

When it gets this hot, I like to delve into learning how to do something new. This year, I prepared in advance and bought the materials to paint a canvas for my living room.

I also bought lots of colorful cotton fabric to make a simple quilt. I set up my studioffice to enjoy the AC, an old movie on the TV and lots of creating. When I finish, I will share the creations with you. How about you? What do you do when the temps become too hot to enjoy being outdoors for any length of time?
