September Morning

It was a busy summer for making things, one of the
advantages of having to stay home.
I missed work, missed my routine, but in early July my mother became
seriously ill and spent several weeks in the hospital.
She is on the road to recovery and I did get to spend a lot of time with
my children.  That made all the inconveniences worth it.
We had a lot of picnics and beach days, my two youngest discovered the joy of
quahogging and providing your family with a dinner you caught.
And I had a lot of time to sew
and knit.

The pink fairy bracelet.

Hoot Hoot Fall is here!

A pattern I worked out for ruffled cuffs

My daughter's beautiful hands with the cozy cuffs

and I made some vests too, this one appliqued with a beautiful fabric panel
that I rescued from the remnant bin at JoAnn's.
