Saturday Snip-its

*  Goodness, it's been a month since I posted!  I think I must be in a 'summer slump.'

*  I've been doing some community service sewing for my ASG group.  I had forgotten how tedious some children's clothes can be!  Also, I've been knitting chemo hats.  I can knit them when I'm in a "want to do something not too involved mood."

*  Yard work has taken up lots of my time in the last couple of months.

*  Heat has zapped some of my energy.  While it has been a "mild" summer for us, i.e. not a month long of 100+ degree days, it's still been hot!  And thunderstorms have brought lots of humidity!  UGH

*  I have completed (watching) the Kathy Ruddy class on Craftsy.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.  I wrote about it (sort of a review) on Stitchers Guild).

*  I'm also watching the Linda Maynard class on neck bands.  Not finished there yet.

*  My house needs a thorough cleaning, but who wants to do that????

*  Sewing room looks like a tornado has swept through.  Too many projects going at one time!

*  Hit an estate sale yesterday on my way home from exercise.  Picked up some sewing notions (needles, belt buckle, a package of Wrights piping with the original package price of 19 cents.  How long  ago must that have been?)  Also found some other treasures - some beautiful vintage costume jewelry, and other misc items.  That was fun!

*  Having lunch today with some high school friends.  Always enjoy seeing them!

* Here's hoping the slump will pass soon.
