Felt Like Knitting: A bit of a breather

Did you all have a good weekend? We had beautiful weather and I enjoyed being outside in it to cut the grass yesterday. With the mulching blade on the mower, I didn't have to empty bags of grass onto the compost pile and it hardly seemed like work. I did see a lot of things that need done around the yard, though.

I didn't get around to posting on Friday so I'll show you a finished object today. It's Swifty (Rav link) from Mason Dixon Knitting's Outside the Lines.

These aren't good photos and the project itself isn't pretty like the ones in the book. But the Swifty does work great! I just tried it out this morning and was amazed by the dog hair and dirt it picked up. I need to knit a few more of these. Do you think I'll clean the floor more often if I have fun cloths to use?

Emma's drama production went well this weekend. Can you believe I forgot to get a single picture? I wasn't back stage for costuming and it never occurred to me to snap a photo before. I'll have opportunities later because the group is taking their show on the road and will visit area elementary schools who don't have arts programs. I think they'll enjoy acting for the school kids and I think the school kids will love the show.

Now that much of the drama stuff is over I feel like I have a bit of a breather. Time to catch up on some of this housework that's piling up around here. I'd also love to straighten up my sewing room so I can make a few things for my wardrobe. Lynne has been sewing a lot lately and seeing her lovely projects makes me want to make some of my own.

Have a wonderful day!
