Happy Summer

The official start of summer may have been a few days ago but with temps at or near triple digits for the last month, summer's been here in Texas for a while! Not conducive to knitting I must say. However, I'm still slowly plugging away at my cardigan.

In the meantime, I've been very busy quilting! I just listed these little beauties in the shop. Despite the heat, we've still been enjoying the back patio in the evening. Especially when there is a cold treat involved. Jack loved his smoothie.

where does the time go?

Well, hello there! How in the world does a month and a half slip by????

I've been knitting!

This is a combination of two patterns....I have high hopes that it will come out how I envision it to. The body has been done for ages but I stalled out when I wasn't sure of what length I wanted the sleeves to be. I've decided to make them elbow length so hopefully I can finish those up this week and then all I'll have left is the collar/button band.

I've been dying over the cuteness of this felt food! Jack is still not totally interested in playing with it yet but that just gives me more time to make more!

It was so cool of Jill (at Homemade by Jill) to post up the links to tons of different tutorials!
