July 2015 - 80 through 87

Projects 80 and 81 are a couple of washcloths to match my decorated towels. This way I can give them out in sets for Christmas. A great way to use up stash and it is perfect 'public' knitting (small projects with no thinking involved). I like the design of the blue one better so I'll definitely be making more of that one. Dates completed July 1 and 7, 2015,

July 20 was a sewing day. I finished up two quilts for Dana (no pics) and 5 pillowcases for Project Comfort (there were two of the bottom one).




July 31 I finished up Carrie's August socks.



June/July 2015 - Grandma's Visit

Had fun while Grandma was visiting. We went to several parks and walked around. I was able to get some fun photos!
