The Purl Bee Baby Mocs and the Little Scallops Baby Hat were finished up a couple weeks ago--baby items are such wonderfully quick knits! I am very happy with how each turned out and am sure these patterns will be used again and again in the future. For more details, see my Ravelry page here.

We love to head to the lake, now and again, to walk the dogs and watch the sailboats as the sun sets. The dogs get so excited because they love to jump in and take a swim.
Our favorite artisan ice cream place is located right across from the canal, so it's nice to take a walk around the locks after indulging on a sundae or cone...
This summer I was so excited to find an old striped ticking pillow case as I knew it would be perfect for a tote. I just finished this up and added it to the shop.
It has just been an unusual summer for us this year--renting still feels strange and not having a vegetable garden or chickens to tend feels stranger still. On a happy note, our oldest just became engaged to be married--her boyfriend proposed to her at a waterfall in Iceland {the name of which I cannot even attempt to spell} where they were vacationing...very romantic! So we are officially planning a wedding to happen next summer.
In the meantime, we also have a start date on our house--August 25, if all goes well...a busy time ahead for sure...in a very good way.
That's the news in my world.
Thank you for stopping by and for leaving me a comment---I appreciate it a lot!

ReplyDeleteOh Deb - I love that you are accomplishing so much while you are in Limbo Land, waiting on your house... The hat and booties are excruciatingly adorable! What kind of yarn did you use- cotton? Congratulations to your family - such an exciting time with new members coming in! Love the tote and the doggy too. --Vicki K.
