first and last It's the last day of first grade! The boys' classes celebrated with "First Grade Olympics", including:
I sewed my first blocks for the civil war sampler, including:
And did the last bit of embroidery on wee one's bonbon sweater, including lilac and still that red (love that red!):
It's the first day of summer and the last day that I'll have time to take a shower and sit and write a post like this until September. Yikes! posted by alison at 11:33 am | in

I can totally relate to your last sentence! My son finished kindergarten last week and my daughter is graduating from preschool next week. The summer really throws a wrench into the routine (work, working out, knitting, etc.) of us moms! Happy summer! Posted by: Leslie at June 20, 2008 12:10 PMLove the red in Lincoln's Platform! Really makes that block. You've done a great job with such small scale precision sewing but I knew you would! Posted by: Carol at June 20, 2008 12:16 PMLOL!!! I can relate to the last sentence, also. I can't seem to find time to shower until around midnight and I got up at 5 this morning in order to spend some quality time with my blog :). Good luck with the summer. Just remember to have fun and not stress too much. Posted by: geekch1ck at June 20, 2008 1:13 PMThose quilt squares look amazing! Posted by: Melissa at June 20, 2008 1:42 PMI have a newborn. She won't sleep in a crib. Showers are something I snatch at greedily when she's fast asleep in DH's arms. Enjoy your summer! P.S. Love the quilt squares!

Posted by: Nathalie at June 20, 2008 7:01 PMThe blocs are BEAUTIFUL! Love the repros! Looking forward to seeing more. Posted by: alotta.knittin at June 21, 2008 10:18 AMThe embroidery really makes the little bonbon sweater look all finished and snazzy! The red is terrific!

The little cardigan is very pretty. Posted by: Anita at June 24, 2008 11:41 AM |
