It’s Thursday already?

This summer is flying by! It seems like I just did a blog post but it was over a week ago. I can’t even say I was busy. I was at the lake until Tuesday morning when I came home. I have been busy, busy, busy since I got home though. A doctors appointment yesterday and another today. I managed to sit at my sewing machine and sew a dress yesterday! That’s my third one in the last couple of weeks. Considering I haven’t been able to sit at my machine for several years I’m counting this as a win! It makes me happy.

Here are the three dresses I’ve made. Granted, they don’t look like much hanging on the hangers, but my goodness they are comfortable!

This is a close-up of the fabric of the above dress.

Dress number two.

And the fabric.

Well hello there! I have dress number three on today. Please excuse Chloe‘s toys. Usually that cord is hidden behind the mirror but I had to move the mirror to get some light.

And this dress close up.

I also finished a baby blanket...

a sweater, two pair of socks and a hat. All have been shipped off to London. Alex‘s girlfriend Tara’s, sister and her husband had a baby boy last week. I wanted to get this sent off right away so the sweater would still fit him when it arrives. I have no idea how long it will take a package to clear customs there.

I found these sweet book markers yesterday at Hobby Lobby. They are the kind that are magnetic and go over the top of the page.

I ended up cutting them in half and putting them on my rolling cart where I keep my craft supplies. They make me smile to look at them.

They are very inexpensive so I don’t feel too bad about cutting them in half. I can always get another set to use as book markers if I would like to.

There isn’t a lot else happening. Life goes on as it does. My injection is starting to wear off so I’m scheduled for another one on the 29th.  I do hope they continue to work as well as this first one has.

Wishing you all a lovely week and I hope you are enjoying your summer...or winter time down under.
