This week I started a stitchery, but still working on it. I am trying to do old patterns in my to do list and starting new ones. Since it is late in the season, I have decided to move to the holidays so maybe I can actually finish some things in time.
I had material that I love, and thought, why not make mitten blocks, using textured wools. So that is the next project I can work on at night, sewing the mittens onto the backing. I will use the mitten fabric and maybe the skates with mittens, as a border, still thinking on it.
Today we took the boys to the beach. It is the pond that we also camp and paddle at, but this time we went to the main beach. It was not crowded and the water was cool enough to enjoy, and there was a nice breeze. We also had a side, all to ourselves with tree shade, so a nice place to spend the afternoon.
The boys loved playing in the water. This area is not as shallow as the launch area, but not so deep either, so perfect for them.
I hope you all enjoyed your week. We have nice weather this weekend, so I plan on enjoying it, before the heat comes back in.

You really are getting a jump on the holidays. I'm still doing patriotic...and, come to think of it, I never did finish hooking that heart rug for Valentine's. Looks like a fun time at the beach. The water looks so clear - and nice that there are shallow(er) areas. We were VERY hot and humid on Thursday/Friday but storms and rain moved in early this morning. It definitely cooled things WAY down.
