Busy, Busy, Busy!

Oh how I wish there were more hours in the day to complete all I would like to. It seems like that between housework, cooking, and caring for Isabel I don't have much time to squeeze in other tasks, although I do try. Isabel and I have had appointments every single day this week and do not have an appointment free day until Sunday and oh I cannot wait! Aside from running around like crazy trying to get us both ready for school to start, I have been trying to keep up on some sewing and knitting for Isabel's school wardrobe...Not too much sewing accomplished but I did sew my friend an awesome bag which I am excited for her to get in the mail!!!

I used Amy Butler's Birdie Sling bag and I was super happy with the results! I also knitted the front of a vest for my nephew for his birthday..

                                                       The little owls make me happy!!! :)
Also have made a little more progress on the knee high socks, although not as much as I would like.

                                                              I am loving this yarn!
Isabel and I have been reading The Secret Garden every afternoon and evening and I love the book so much as it brings back sweet memories of my own childhood and I find that I am having to stop myself from reading further in the book after my sweet punkin falls asleep in the middle of a chapter. I absolutely love sharing these precious stories with Isabel and I love discussing the chapters with her and hearing what she is taking out of the book, listening to how she views and processes the plot in her mind.

                                                                    Ah, so precious
I am so excited to start on the AG series I was given by a lovely friend in my knitting group. She gave us the complete collection of books for the girls Molly, Samantha, Kit, Felicity, Kirsten, Kaya, and Josefina. Isabel and I were so thrilled with the books! A big THANKS to her!!!
Well I am off here to go work on my socks until Matt gets home, the rest of my housework can surely wait until tomorrow! :) BUT

Here is a picture just because I am pretty sure I have the best, cutest, most lovely dog in the whole wide world!
