Curls of Sunshine

Finished

Another day in the Fry household.  My kids and I are on totally different schedules.  I still get up early.  I seem to get more done in the morning.  The kids stay up until the wee hours of the morning and get up around noon.  By the time I am ready to eat dinner and relax, they have friends over and are ready to party.  I guess that is the way it is in the summer.  When does school start?

I did get up early today and finished the cactus pattern. My little cactus in now available on Etsy and Ravelry. I think the next pattern will be a flower.

 
Today I am determined to finish The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.  Kate told me to stick with the book.  I kept plugging along and it did get really good. In hopes of finishing it, last night I fell asleep with the book on my face.  I do that a lot.

Summer reading and ponytail holders

It is unusually hot here in South Carolina.  I am camped out in the comfy air conditioning.  The highs have reached 100 degrees.  Perfect weather for sewing, reading and swimming.  I did finish Island Beneath the Sea.  It is a page turner and I highly recommend it for summer reading.  One knows a book is good when you do not feel the necessity to skim through the ending...I read every word.  However, with Breaking Dawn I am doing a lot of "skimming".  Not my favorite book but I am curious about the ending.

My First Published Pattern

My little Bumble Bee pattern is included in a new amigurumi book Creature Crochet.  It is now available at Barnes and Noble.

I want to go to school too!

Our dog Emma always pouts when she realizes the kids are getting ready for school.  I just had to snap a quick picture and show everyone her adorable "puppy" face.  If she could fit into one of the kids back packs she would more than willingly go to school. 

Emma heard that The Tale of Despereaux is great reading material.
