Summer Breeze is Finished!!!

Summer Breeze Edging

Closer and closer!

I have the sleeves done

and stitched in and edged.

Now I am working on the edging of the body

of the sweater.  I must also 'place' buttonholes

in the second edging row, before finishing

with a final row of picot edging.

So close...

Almost Done!!!

FRIENDS, I HAVE ALMOST

CONQUERED 

Summer Breeze!!!

Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I only have one sleeve to finish

and then the edging.

HOORAY!!!

(I'm rejoicing early to motivate

myself to FINISH!)

Whirl Wind Week

 Is it REALLY Thursday already?

I can hardly believe it!

Where has it gone?

I'm sure I don't know.  I have been busily teaching my boys and baking pumpkin bread and cookies and hauling boys to various activities and going to Church.  Today, I squeezed in cleaning my refrigerator!

Yay me!!!

I thought, 'while it is almost empty...'

I have a little more to do on the last side of the Summer Breeze Sweater before I can sew the shoulder seams and begin on the sleeves.  I just squeeze in a little here and a little there while a boy is reading to me or while I'm waiting somewhere.  Though I don't see much progress at each sitting, slowly but surely, it is getting finished.

Now I am applying the same principal to blogging today.  I have a boy reading to me, and I am typing as I can.  I looked and saw that it has been since last Saturday since I talked to you.  I thought, 'I'd better get on the ball!'  So here I am trying to stay 'on the ball' and juggle tasks without falling off.  I know I'll fall off sometimes, but as long as I get up and keep on trying, I will get somewhere!  The Lord is constantly empowering me and motivating to persevere in all the tasks that call my name.

(A blogging friend asked me where I got the Summer Breeze pattern.  It is a Coats and Clarks free project sheet (LC1332).  I don't know if you can get it from them or not.)
