Soon the children break up for their Summer holidays... But first, as every year, the School calendar is packed full with various events . Tonight, we have got the Awards ceremony which we must attend as my son will receive a book prize for Music. I am so proud of him! Next week it will be Sports Day and I have got to be there to support both children in their races. This will be followed by a Music evening where again my son will be performing in the Orchestra. Two days after that, school breaks up and the Summer holidays officially start!
I wish I could show you some pictures of my on-going knitting but I am afraid there isn't very much to show... Hopefully, I might finish the bag for my friend sometime this week as I have just the handles left to knit. The progress on my shawl is painfully slow as each row now takes so long to complete, but I am still working on it when I have enough time to spare...
At the moment I am itching to start something new. I keep going back to my pattern books searching desperately for inspiration which doesn't seem to come... I can't afford to buy new yarn at the present so it is : use the stash or nothing. I must also finish a dress I am in the middle of sewing and think of something purple for the July Project Spectrum... As you can see I am just plodding along...
All of the new books are soon coming out, so I suggest you stick to small easy projects for the next 3 weeks - this is what I'm doing, I;ve frogged all the new things I've started and am sticking to socks!

Sometimes plodding is all you can do. The speedy days, the days packed with creativity, are just around the corner!

Et pourquoi pas un gros pull islandais à tricoter en 7, hein ? Par ces temps qui courent, sur les genoux, ça fait plaisir... Tu peux même le faire en pourpre si c'est ma couleur de ton mois. Consolation : ça se tricote vite !

Look forward to seeing your dress and bag. Inspiration sometimes strikes when you least expect it :)

C'est vrai que l'été est propice à une douce torpeur des aiguilles... Pour le spectrum de juillet, je cherche aussi !
Bravo à ton petit pour son prix et vive les vacances !

Are you thinking about autumn knittings? That´s what I am doing, although it´s terrible hot outside. So it´s a long way to finish the started summer projects, non of them really interests me much any more, so the rows are getting longer and longer, nothing seems to be finished soon. I think we are in the same mood. I am leafing through my books again, but non of my stash yarn matches, so I can´t wait to get the new autumn magazines. Is this the case with every changing season?
And Congratulations to the prize your son won, I agree completely that you are a very proud mum.
And like Erin I am looking forward to see the dress and the bag, and also to see which new design you have choosen to knit.

Depuis le début du BBS, je viens régulièrement te faire une petite visite sans jamais oser laisser de commentaire. Mais je dois avouer que j'aime beaucoup les illustrations que tu insères régulièrement sans oublier tes ouvrages.
Je suis ravie d'apprendre que ta BBS ne t'a pas oubliée. De mon coté, j'ai suivi ton conseil et contacté Sandra.
Vivement que ton sac arrive...
J'oubliais...félicitations pour une si belle fin d'année scolaire

Sometimes plodding along is good. :-) I'm looking forward to seeing the bag and also the dress. Recently I have been more interested in sewing than I have been for quite a few years...
And re. your son - a prize for music! Well done!!

However, dealers often want to sell their current inventory quickly, so you may be able to negotiate a good deal if an in-stock car meets your needs.
