1. Phil's kite!
A few of you mentioned you wanted to see Phil's latest kite, the 500 square foot monster that invaded every livable space in our home for more weeks than I care to remember. These ones are for you!
Not too shabby, eh?
2. Garden update
Stuff is growing! Stuff we can actually EAT! Really! On Friday, I turned this:
Into this:
Which later became this:
Kids hated it, of course, but Oh. My. God. My mouth is pulling a total Pavlov just LOOKING at that picture.3. Sewing!
I started a new quilt! I joined the We Can Do It! Skill Building Sampler, and so far we've made 2 blocks. The QAL is going to take a year, with 3 blocks a month, each month focusing on a different technique. We've made 2 blocks so far, and I'm really enjoying it! It's a nice change from the blue and green of my "main" quilt WIP ;-)
4. Emilie !School's out for summer, and Emilie will be moving on to second grade in the Fall. She's starting a horseback riding day camp on Monday. We bought her a pair of riding pants and boots today, and she Could. Not. Wait. to wear them. Excited? I think so!
There you have it. You're now officially in the loop about the goings-on chez Dear. We shall return to our regular semi-coherent posting après le weekend.
Happy Knitting, Everyone!

Miam, miam, loved your garden update. The kite is quite impressive too!

Riding lessons! What fun! I can't wait to hear all about that.
Your dinner looked delicious. Too bad the kids weren't fans. Did they end up eating something else? What's the rules in your house?
Sewing looks great. One day I need to get on the quilting bandwagon.

Do you deliver your pasta? I'll gladly accept the kids' uneaten portions- that looks yummy!
Your quilt squares are so even! I tried one like that once, but it looked so wavy, I had to pretend it was on purpose LOL
I saw that pic of E on FB- so exciting! I love horseback riding (except for the time my horse tried taking a shortcut up a cliff instead of around the path...with a busy highway down below. Scared the pants off me!)
