A quick succession of busy nothings

Last week was SO crazy -  I taught an origami class as part of my school's summer program and it ended up taking much more time and energy than anticipated!  My poor blog has been so neglected... *sigh*

I was able to squeeze in a few moments of crafting before collapsing into bed each night, so I actually have some finished-up projects to show.  

My Sullivan Street Bolero turned out nicely, although I did change one part.  Instead of picking up stitches around the armholes and outer edge to knit a border, I simply added a couple of rows of single crochet to tidy it up (anything to avoid picking up stitches, my least favorite knitting activity).

I also finished up my little granny square afghan.

And I started a new embroidery project.

And I found out that the kitten chews books.  And bookmarks!

Sometimes I post cat pictures. This is one of those times.

ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Please ignore my hideous rental unit carpet.  Thank you.   : )

Crocheting this while watching Netflix tonight -  oh yes, I started it a long time ago and it's still not finished!  

Stumbled upon some free back issues of Dwell today, what luck!

More Crochet

Well, one project is finished...

I even recycled an old belt loop for a hanger!  Some might think it's strange, but I think it's clever : )

I also reused a chunk of cardboard for the backing and pages from a charity sale book.  This piece may make it into my shop, but I don't have time just yet!

Pieces

Not much progress has been made on the artsy/craftsy front this week!  I've been busy organizing/packing my classroom for the summer months so that it can cleaned and the carpets shampooed.  Now I'm on summer break and gearing up to teach a couple of fun summer classes - with plenty of time set aside for sleeping in, knitting, and crocheting... perfect!

I stumbled across this work and did my own version in "le renard..."

*I'm upgrading to a Flickr Pro account, so you'll be seeing more photographs and organization from me there! *
