Monday's are always a bit of a transition, aren't they? Especially during the summer, when we squeeze in lots of extra activities and weekend jaunts. It's fun, but then -- there's some catching up, and back to work as usual. I love what I do, but sometimes, there's more to do than I can easily manage. Music helps me pace myself...it's mostly folk instrumentals right now as I print and pack the orders from last week. Those who have been taking advantage of the pattern/book combined savings, are finding a little extra surprise inside their packages. I won't say outright what it is, but it has something to do with my garden and the above photo. I'm finding tiny little projects like this quite satisfying, and just about all I can handle at the moment.
It's been pretty warm here. Even with the door open and the fan oscillating like crazy, my fingertips are sticking to the keyboard. {TIP:: Perfect weather though for hanging sheets out to dry and naturally "radiating" pillows and down comforters to sanitize them.} To escape the heat, we headed over to the seashore yesterday. It was comfortable and cool in that misty gray Oregon way. Still, we all got a bit more sun than we realized, having ditched the sunscreen. Today we are sun-kissed with very rosy cheeks.
Sock #2 in progress. I'll try and remember to show these when Grace finishes.
And. . . I keep forgetting to mention this, which is probably only of interest to peeps in my own area, but the Blanket Statement gang is currently on display at the Corvallis Library until the end of the month. They would love to see you!
Your daughter looks so lovely in her beautiful straw hat!

How wonderful to have a display at the Corvallis Library!! A college town with lots of potential crafters - woohoo!
It's really nice to show the public what can come out of a book.
I'd enjoy a nice trip to the beach too, but being in Klamath Falls, it's a bit far.
