1/89

Day one of 89 days of summer vacation for my 3 boys.  This was the sky on our adventure last Friday.  

My living room ceiling on Sunday evening.  My house is over 130 years and the plaster in this ceiling is starting to separate.  It would have nothing to do with 3 little boys who have rooms above there and would never jump on or around beds!  It has dry wall covering it now....but all too soon it will all come down an be a huge mess!

For those following the Yoyo progress here is what I have completed.  See the line of light purple ones sort of in the middle....well everything above that I did waiting for buses this last 180 school days.  254 first semester, 215 second....I will still take about another year and a half of waiting to finish all that I will need.  Oh and I plan to make one, and just one everyday of the summer so that will be another 89.  And it is a good thing I will be in some fashion waiting for regular school buses for the next 6 years anyway!  I think next will come a hand done Cathedral window quilt...but I am getting ahead of myself!!

The beginning of summer art projects.  This was just using primary colors and a spin art machine.  I love this and am looking for lots of fun things to do with it!  Including tee shirts and plain fabric, plus I have the plans to make a big one that could spin whole canvases!

I am also trying to weave more, most days I get 5 shots in.  Today I did, but all too soon it will be too hot and sticky to work with temperamental mohair that is what 2/3 of this piece is.  So I do what I can while I can.

I managed to make the clothes that I will be adding solution to that will become then reusable dryer sheets, also a bin full that can be used for dusting, bathrooms or faces.  All I need to do now is partner the solutions to the finished clothes.  I still have a bunch to stitch but I know I will be happy once they are done!  

Have a great Friday night!  I have much to accomplish once my 3 year old goes to sleep!
