Summer

I would have written sooner, but I've been busy. Summer snuck in when I wasn't looking and someone had to sit in the beach chair. Mr. Gadget and Tech Guy decided to take a stroll down the beach and left me alone--with my Thanksgiving knee--for some quiet time. I enjoyed every minute.

There's not much new in my crafty world other than more of the same. I continue to knit mini-sweaters, all the while looking for a support group to help me get a handle on my addiction.

I also continue to crochet flowers, though not with the same compulsion as with the mini-sweater knitting.

I felted a couple of purple flowers in the western washer, but without the same good results as I got with the eastern one. So I will pack up the unfelted flowers in my suitcase and take them back to the washer with which they have a better rapport.

I plan to start a sewing project soon--a simple jacket that can be sewn in one day, or so the pattern designer promises. I just have to find the pattern. It's here someplace. I found some fabric a few months ago when the Joann's store in my neighborhood was having a moving sale. It's a bold print and should make a festive jacket for a cruise. After all, cruise clothes--in my opinion--are merely costumes. Just about anything goes on a cruise.

I should have just enough time to finish it before sail-away.
