Summertime, and the livin’ is easy…I wish! I for one, have a ton of projects underway at my house. And I know a lot of people are busy. I decided this was a great time to keep things simple. Sometimes I just need a certain kind of scallop border and none that I have seem “just right”. So, what’s a girl to do…I make a new one ?
