Negligent, but busy

Wow I haven't blogged in a couple of weeks.  Boo...shame on Teener.

But I've been busy and super creatively productive and well it's been hot as balls lately.  So most nights I lay around in a tank top with the air conditioner AND fan blowing on me.  All the while, I'm trying to keep my 70 lb beagle basset bison whale off of me, but he seems to ALWAYS want to snuggle-even in the humidity.

So what have I been doing???

 Made this SUPER cute baby bib for little Eva Tsai.  I forgot pics of it sewn together, but I'll ask Trish to put it ON the baby and send said pics...it will be THAT much cuter.  Pattern : Sparrow Baby Bib from Ashley Kayhart.

While making it, I made a big frickin mess of my craft table and realized I needed GOOD LEFT handed scissors, as what I have, ain't cuttin' it (so to speak).  I dragged Ellen to AC Moore for said scissors and velcro, but she wouldn't even come in with me!  SCARY CRAFTERS!

I also finished the quilt top, WREN:

I LOVE it...Its going to go in the education room here at the Cancer Center!  I think it will brighten it up and make the room that much more homey. 

Wait a minute, Maggie says, "MINE!"

Now, I have to get backing, and binding and actually FINISH IT and get the dog off of it.

FINALLY, I finished the sweater for Charlie.  I HATE HATE HATE duplicate stitch, enough so that I will not be making this project again.  But it did turn out kinda cute...its blocking now

Better, brighter photos to follow.

We also picked blueberries last weekend...13lbs of them!

Gabe got to ride the tractor wagon

LOOK AT THEM ALL MOM!!!!!

 Shelley's first trip to Haines Berry Farm.  She is a good picker.

 Blueberries are easy to pick, you just "fondle" the branches...

 Honestly wanted to DIVE IN!

Instead I went home and BAKED this yummy blueberry loaf cake.  Only AFTER I had made the batter did I realize I couldn't find my large loaf pan, so I used an 8 x 8 cake pan.  It came out well...the office enjoyed it AND the pie I made the following day.  Now, I'm just eating a crap ton of blueberries everyday and relishing in the strong influx of anti-oxidants into my diet.

Soooooo now what.  Well I'm going to make a few more baby bibs for MORE damn babies.  I'm still working on "camping" shawl, but now the rows are about 400 stitches long and its EXHAUSTING...yeah yeah I'm on the last chart blah blah blah blah.

So I started a new entrelac scarf last night in Knitpicks "Chroma."  Pics to follow.
