So I've been neglectful of the blog once again but I'll tell ya I have sunburn, poison Ivy, a bee sting, and freshly turned flower beds.
I have well feed baby goats that aren't so little and I have Goosers that no longer warble but rather honk a weird honk like a 14 year old boy in the throws of puberty with a crackle in his honk voice.
I have an elder son with his first part time summer job and an elder daughter returning today from her first week at summer camp.
I have a new puppy which I've neglected to mention because his arrival meant the departure of our Terrier. Dear Darwin moved in with a single lady who lets him sleep in her bed and spoils him rotten which is what he wanted all along. Farm life was not for Darwin, and he quite clearly told us so yet still I felt guilty when it was time for him to go.
What I don't have is enough time. Enough time to knit and plant one more Spiderwort, and take one more walk with the puppy, and help the boys glue one more piece on their models. There's just so much to do while the sun is shining and the bees are buzzing.
I did manage a little something but I need to get it edited and formatted and posted here. Its a plain little summer top for little girls but being that I can never leave well enough alone I embroidered the one I made and you could, too.
So here's to summer and grills and burgers and puppies and butterflies.
Hope you are all well and enjoying the summer.
A new puppy?! We must have some pictures! After the puppy's walk of course.
The preview of the shirt is beautiful.

I have a new puppy too and consider her time well spent! Enjoy the summer days, our summer is so short I relish every minute!

Your embroidery is just beautiful! That's an art I would really like to try - I cross stitch, so it couldn't be that big of a stretch, right?

It must be difficult to blog in the summer months. I check several blogs on a daily basis, and few post more often than once a week! When you do post, it's always worth the wait! I'm very excited to see this new top! It looks adorable. I can't wait to get it! Do you think it will be ready this weekend? I hope! No rush, but I love it, I can tell.

It's so hard to be blogging in the summer. I find I don't do much knitting...I want to be outside.
