I'm not sure how this happened, but the temperature managed to drop a few degrees today. I think I even felt a breeze walking out of the office this late afternoon. The second awesome this is when I got to Barnes and Noble, I could hear the marching band practicing and I think I let a little tiny squeal of joy out.

I did managed to find another skein of the blue homespun so I can finish the blue shawl and I am almost finished with the second skein of the Prairie shawl that I started while I waited to find more blue. Hopefully I don't run out of the Prairie. I have not worked on the Summer tote much. it uses a G hook and it alternates between single and half double crochet and so it is very slow progress.

I also have ambitious dreams of threading my sewing machine this weekend and making the quilt square this weekend for the quilt raffle at work. Lol. This could be interesting, but I have a back-up planning of taking it into the local Singer store if I can't understand the manual. I won't be going to see Mom until Labor Day weekend and we are supposed to turn in our squares on the 22nd, so that is why I am sort of paddling without an oar. I really want to learn though. My mom is a sewing goddess, so I think that somewhere inside of me I must have some repressed sewing talent. If this works out then I would like to make a little kitchen curtain and a big curtain to cover my bedroom window that faces the disgustingly bright street light.

Anyways, I am home for the whole weekend. it should be fun, I think. I have mountain dew and soy ice cream so I should be good to go.
