So...here's a sampler of what I've been doing on my summer vacation.
First a summer sweater knit from Rowan's Lenpur Linen, from a pattern in the Summer 2009 Debbie Bliss magazine.

Then two dresses for beautiful baby Shannon...

Then some purses for my sister.
and my daughter..
and another sister..
and a football knit hat for a new baby in the neighborhood...

I have re-discovered my sewing machine and am enjoying using it to make all these wonderful things. It's instant gratification for the creative soul.
