- a storage roll for my crochet hooks
- a case for my sunglasses
- started a cathedral window project
- made a start on our Christmas in July Swap.
- made some pumpkin soup and fresh bread
Wish every weekend was a long weekend 🙂

oh, yeah….fresh bread. Nothing like it is there? …I just began making breads a year and half ago…. it’s so much simpler than I thought and it tastes sooooo good.

Rachael Rabbit says
Hi Lisa – it has been ages – I can’t believe all the amazing stuff I’ve been missing. Beautiful and gorgeous as ever! I’ve actually managed to get some sewing in this week. Which is pretty exciting ….. bad sewing disrupted by baby squeaks … but sewing none the less!
parTea lady says
All your sewing projects are great and the soup and bread look yummy. The fabrics in the cathedral window block really pop on the white background. We had a long weekend recently (Memorial Day), however, mine was not nearly as productive. :=(
Leanne says
I so need to make a knitting needle roll.
