Well, that week got away from me...

...I honestly can't tell you why, other than not having enough hours in the day to do what I want to do.

Since I missed Eye Candy Friday, I offer an orange dahlia as an apology:

Weekend report:
  • I finally skeined the Apricot Orchid 1 handspun [Ravelry], but I haven't taken any photos yet.
  • I'm making headway on the Hawaii handspun [Ravelry]. I have about half an ounce left to spin on the singles.
  • I did a little knitting on the Charred Teal Shawl [Ravelry]
  • The majority of my weekend was spent working on my quilt. 
    • Finished sewing the rest of the first (dark color) sashing on all the squares that were cut out. 
    • Sewed on the second (light color) sashing on the same squares. 
    • Sewed the miter seam on 50% of the blocks. This is going a bit slower because I'm doing them one at a time, as opposed to the chain sewing I did on the sashings.
  • We picked the apricots from one of our trees. We froze a bunch of them, gave a big bag of them to the Husband's brother, and kept enough fresh ones to make an Apricot Galette for dessert on Sunday.

    We still have a ton of apricots to pick from the older apricot tree. The Husband has posted a notice on NextDoor hoping that someone will want some. There is no way we can freeze them all and neither one of us wants to make jam in the heat.
  • I intended on going through the stash to choose the fiber to spin during Tour de Fleece. It starts Saturday, so I better choose soon!
This week looks to be just as scattered as last week. Having a holiday in the middle of the week doesn't help. On the other hand, it might be a good day to pick my Tour de Fleece fiber!
