Crazy Summer


Things have been a little crazy lately. I haven't had time to do much of anything except work and knit! Of Course knitting. My knitting goes with me everywhere, even to work. You never know when some knitting time will sneak in!

It has been raining for the last 4 days or so, so today I am taking the kids to the pool at Berkshire Hills Country Club with my friend Lisa. It will be fun for the kids and I will get to knit and visit and maybe go for a swim myself!

It's time to get started with those craft projects that will eventually become gifts for the holidays! I cannot beleive that next week is August! Yesterday at my childrens camp they celebrated Christmas in July. I guess Santa advised that there are only 155 shopping days left until christmas. That also means 155 CRAFTING days left, unless you are like me and work better under pressure! Many years I have spent the week before Christmas trying to knit into the wee hours to finish the last of the gift or paint the last of the ornaments hoping they dry before they need to be boxed and wrapped!

Before you get started making your holiday knits and projects though, you might want to wean yourself into it by making these cute little pumpkin hat and booties either for charity or a little one that you know.
