#I'm not happy unless I'm drowning in projects with tight deadlines

Thank you @hushed-chorus, @blackberrysummerblog & @ileadacharmedlife for the tags! I've got a lot going on this week in the lead up to Rainbow's book signing and back to school. A quick aside, I'm still buzzing from successfully executing my first 3-turn in my ice skating class last night! I've struggled in advancing beyond the basics and going backwards on one foot has been my Everest.

I've got to start on the gum paste dragon wings to recreate the petit fours from Simon's birthday today (naturally, I didn't save the original wing template 😩). I'll be making those and a mini version of the butter cake for Rainbow. Hopefully, I'll remember to take pictures of the process this time.

I think I might be past the halfway point on my cardigan's sleeve! I noticed a good bit of progress from the last time I took a picture of it

I almost finished my vacation knitting project, all that's left are the straps. There were plenty of opportunities to knit in a lounge chair while sipping tropical drinks and it was a great conversation starter! Other fiber artists would stop and chat and it was really lovely.

In my infinite wisdom, I had the bright idea to sew Littlest Purple's school uniform this year. She's joining her sister at big kid school and I really don't like the skirts and dresses I've bought in the past. Eight yards of fabric later, I've cut out enough pattern pieces for three skirts and three dresses (bonus: they all have pockets!). School starts on Monday, so all the pressure. At least I get to use the cute little tags I've accumulated!

Tags and hellos below!
