Sickness, Craft Projects and Blueberries... Oh My!

                                        
 Eek! I have not written in a long while!
Our whole family got a stomach bug last week so we are now recovered and almost completely. :) In a big family sickness can hit hard on our schedule. Catching up on laundry, cleaning and gardening is a bit time consuming.

The weather has been almost unbearable this week. Very hot... well to what we are use to at least. Even through our sick week I was able to get my knitted purse done. (Yeah!)
                                             The purse!
Also I have been trying to finish a project I started I long while ago and haven't really been working on. Remember that doll I was planning on making? I never finished. Only started it. Now I am finally getting around to finishing it. I have the body done except for the head. That is the hardest part of a doll, because it is a big part of her personality. ( Especially her face.) I will hopefully show a picture of her as soon as I make her a head and clothes. Not sure when that will be. :)

                                             The book I have been using.

 And....
I am participating in Eden's Friendship Afghan Project! You can read up on it here!

I will be getting some yarn and knitting some squares for the quilt soon!!! I am looking forward to it. :D
I got two knitting books today, so that I can practice different patterns for each square. :D

We enjoyed going to our church's picnic on Sunday. Some of our friends kindly took us girls, because daddy was sick at that time. Maggie and I had fun whipping up some blueberry cobbler Tuesday. Abby, Maggie, Joe, and I picked some of our own blueberries from the garden Tuesday morning. Such fun!

Although we haven't been up to that much, I hope you all have been enjoying the warm weather!

What have you all been up to? :-D

  3. I'm glad that you and your family are getting better - being sick is awful!
    I wouldn't mind some of your hot weather right now - we are in winter at the moment and have just had a week of unusually cold weather!

    I think your knitted purse is lovely!
