Looking for a little shade


It is hot!  The boys love to go outside and play, but I have had to limit the times they can play due to the high temps.  I noticed last week that Ryland was getting a lot of direct afternoon sun while he played in his sandbox.  I decided to pick up some outdoor fabric and tension rods to make some panel curtains. 
The boys were very interested in what I was making and were in the middle of the project.  Ryland had lots of questions about all the tools, and he really wanted to use the sewing machine.  After explaining the cuts, creases, and stitches, we installed them on the playhouse.
Both boys climbed in the sandbox to enjoy the shaded play area.  We were also pretty excited when we noticed the new pergola created enough shade to reach to their swings!  Double bonus for finding shade in the heat!
