Two Very Long Weeks

After a long couple of weeks I am back.  Work has hit the busy season.  Peanuts are being harvested and none too soon.  We are desperate to get enough to fill orders.  But that means long days and hours for everyone.Despite the long hours I did manage to get a few things done. 

I finished my first prayer shawl.  I will probably keep it in my church bag for Sister Abby.  Sister Abby is 91yrs old and so very frail.  When we met her 3 years ago, we thought she wouldn't be here much longer.  She has broken a foot and her pelvis, had pneumonia and as soon as she is able she comes back to church.  Her spirit just keeps shining as an example to all of us.  Anyway she tends to get a little cold on Sundays and the shawl will help keep her warm.

I also did finish 3 Kumihimo bracelets that I had woven.  Just 11 more to finish off.  I have switched from using nail polish to sealing up the ends and am now trimming the cords with a wood burner.  It melts the ends together so I don't have to worry about it unraveling. 

I also made a cute pair of earrings, which all my girls like.  They are simple yet dramatic.  A bright pink bead with silver bead caps dangling on a silver chain.  Totally awesome. I'd post a pic but one of my kids deleted it. 

I am still planning on doing some of the little festivals around here just not this year.  We will probably spend this year assembling an inventory and gathering things to use for displays.  I am convinced we can make some money if we do it right.

So my current plan of attack is finish off a bracelet or two every couple of days.  Knit in the evenings when my hubby wants me to watch TV with him.  Quilt on the Weekends with Tatianna.
