It's been a pretty cool and damp summer this year, and I'm happy to have that after several hot and smoky summers. Yesterday, my friend and I investigated the trail adjacent to Hawrelak Park, in hopes of seeing what progress has been made on the park's updates. We couldn't see much, but the work is supposed to be done by the end of the year. I got stung by a wasp on our way into a nearby café. It still hurts a lot.
Today was a sew day at a shop in town, so I brought a pair of gently used jeans I'd bought, and I made it into this tote bag. It was a fun make. I want to make one with a zippered top. to make it a bit more versatile.
I've organized a camping weekend for the Perseids Meteor Showers, and a pow wow at a nearby First Nation. However, it rained torrentially this afternoon, and again on my way down, so I've left my group unattended. They are apparently enjoying a lovely evening at the campground without me. I'll head down early in the morning.

@EllenInEdmonton@mstdn.ca Add a little water to make a paste of baking soda. Apply to sting. Almost instant relief! It's now been a while for you, but if it still hurts, give it a go and it might help. I keep a little waterproof bottle of baking soda in my first aid kit.

Thanks, I need to do something like that. It's still hurting like a son-of-a-gun. I've tried various things, and I think that cortisone cream worked the best. I'm camping this weekend and won't have much chance to baby it.
