What an absolutely beautiful day!  It's only 63 right now going to a high of 81.  Sunny and no rain in the forecast.  After my exercises I went out to the deck and it was cool enough to need a sweater or light jacket!

Speaking of which, I got up right away and did all three types of exercises.  I think the cooler weather has given me much needed energy.

This is the beginning of the fouth week in July which means this Wednesday is my guild chat.  I need to make sure that I have the complete membership email addresses up to date on my new computer so I can send out reminders.

I did finish the miniature quilt studio.  There wasn't too much to add.  You will see a few more boxes on the top shelf including one with a top and I have a small basket and a flower on the end of the shelves...

I had a lot of fun making this miniature.  Once I started on making something it was hard to stop.  But it's done now and I need to focus a bit more on my summer camp experience.

Along with finishing the miniature studio I made a couple of small folders out of 12" square decorative paper.  In the fall leaves folder, I added a note pad in one pocket and a smaller folder in the other.  In the other folder with the paper collage on the front which I made, I added a note book along with the small folder.  These are about six by five inches...

To make these small folders strong, you can see that I folded the paper in all around.  Check this diagram out...

The first fold from bottom up is for the pocket.  The second fold in half lengthwise is the open and close fold.  The smaller folds on all sides are to give the folder extra strength.  After making all the folds, I glued down the small folds at the bottom and top.  I cut off at an angle (see dashed lines) the area by the pockets on both sides.  After folding the pockets up, I glued the small folds on each side.  After gluing, lay flat without folding until the glue is dry.

Today I'm going to work outside for a bit, finishing up a few areas including some weeding.  Later on we want to work on the cat tunnels.  We picked up some artificial grass to line the bottom of the tunnels to make it easier for the cats to walk on.

I also need to check on the squash and cucumbers to see if any are ready to pick.  Still no beans but there are more tomatoes appearing.  And I think the peppers may be able to recover after the deer ate about half of all eight peppers.

That's all for today.  I hope the weather is great where you are.  Find something wonderful to do today...

Talk with you tomorrow...
