This Week



This week the boys have been at sports camp every day, I finished my last week of the summer studio session, and I've been working on scheduling fall. It's been kind of a wild week, but the last one of its kind this summer. I know it's only August 2, but we don't have very big plans for August. We're starting school on August 5 and there is a long weekend planned with my side of the family later in the month, but that's pretty much it. 


On the Needles...

Still journeying with Ellie's sweater and trying to make decisions. Still unhappy with the bottom edging, but I think I have a solution I'll like. Now to find a bit of time to rip it back and try again.

I also think I might find a bit of time to finish that upper edge on the Doctor Who Kernel and start the lower edge.





Just Keep Spinning…

I'm working in short bits of time on the spindle with the white wool I've been spinning for the last several days and doing well with it. 


Learning all the time…

I'd hoped to share pictures of a re-arranged school area today, but I didn't quite get that finished yesterday before starting my teaching schedule. I'm planning to finish this afternoon while Ellie naps and maybe I can share next week. We're ready to go- books are all here and organized, everything is as ready as it can be for Monday morning.


Watching (Spoiler Free, of course...)

We finally slogged through the last 7 episodes of Once Upon a Time. Everyone kept telling us the last 2 episodes were really good, but it seriously was a slog. It's more of the same in each episode, and no serious character progression. I think we'll try the first 2 or 3 that come out this fall, but if they don't significantly improve we'll call this show done.


Listening...

I listened to the Joss Whedon episode of The Nerdist podcast while I was organizing yesterday. *squee* It was so cool to hear him talk about Avengers and pulling together that cast.


Garden...

We've pulled a few jalapenos, 1 bell pepper, and several cucumbers from the garden so far. The cherry tomatoes are getting close- perhaps a few this weekend?



This weekend...

We have plans to be outside doing all sorts of yardwork. There are 2 beds that need to be completely pulled out, so we'll work hard at that early in the day and then see how hot it gets. We also have our first baseball practice of the fall season this weekend, so we're gearing up for that as well.
