Our creative juices are flowing as well. The small fry has been dabbling with watercolors this summer, and rarely a day goes by where she hasn't drawn something with that box full of colored pencils. She's also trying her hand at knitting. She's asked me to show her, and she'll get the hang of it for a few stitches and then the tension gets weird and she'll let it sit for a couple days and then come back.

The peanut is a talking machine this summer. She's picking up everyone's phrases... and chatters to herself while busy with the events of her imagination. She's building a new level of trust with Georgie the cat and loves to go to the library.
Handspun "Garden Party" |
I've been working on some knitting and sewing. Slowly, things are getting made. I finished that gigantic shawl, and then set to work on a cardigan for the coming school year. I spun a bit too and I've got some socks in (slow) progress too.
On the sewing front, I've deconstructed my favorite old silk tank top and am attempting to reconstruct it from some Liberty Tana Lawn. It's coming together well, I think. At least it appears as if it's going to fit, and I'm happy with how it's working so far. Just some finished arm holes and a hem and I'll be in business.

In the meantime, I hope you stay cool and entertained doing something creative.
