Well Monday, in the rain was a lost
day. I had plans—but fact of the matter was, NOTHING got done.
Yesterday was a bit better—I got
laundry done (3 loads! 14 towels!) and even some knitting done--
Just 1 set (1 pattern/1 plain) of
rounds on the Peacock Shawl(no image--the change is hardly noticable!) —and a good inch done on June's socks.

Today—the plan is to get all of
yesterday's newly washed clothes put away (some still need folding)
and to get another set of rounds (at least 1 set—better still 2 or
more sets!) done on the shawl. It's still cool today, but hot
weather is coming—forecast for the weekend is for another couple of
90° days.
I didn't get to the green grocer—but
the supermarket had some nice avocados—and sales on both artichokes
(not that great a sale) and fire roasted peppers—so I have some
ingredients for some interesting salads—but I didn't get my pork
loin roast (maybe tonight)
I am still itching to get some more
sewing done...The pile of fabric just cry out to be made into something...
I bought the pattern I THINK I want for the Mother of the Bride dress--this one--I am thinking the sleeveless top (shown in white) and the A-line skirt (shown in beige)--both pieces in a silver grey--(solid crepe back satin, or a similar fabric shot through with silver).
I'll make a "muslin" (sample) in some other fabric first, and work out all the fine details before I cut with good fabric (I still haven't committed to a fabric). I am thinking about the bandeau top --or the one with the spaghetti strap--but it might be too little clothing for October--even with a shawl. (Knowing me, I'll end up making both tops... and decide at the last minute which one to wear--depending entirely on the weather!) The bandeau top only take 1.25 yards of fabric (less really because I can use "waste" fabric from the skirt and sleeveless top). So its really only effort to have both tops--and not a great expense.
