Holy Cow! It's June...

Can't believe it's June already! What happened to May? It seems like these days all I do is blink and then another month is over. I guess that's good, means we're busy, but still...wow!

Ella's had some friends over...
Here's Pudge, the pug, who has been staying with us this past week. I'd forgotten how hyper-cute pugs are. Ella has been tolerating him. Very difficult to get a non-moving picture of a pug!

And Coco the mini apple-dapple dachshund. Ella does like Coco. And, again, very difficult to get a picture of a quick moving dachshund.

Now....ta-dah! Pictures of works in progress....

My whisper cardigan. (Can you guess which visiting dog was curious about this and had it out of it's tote bag?)



My a-line skirt. It's coming along nicely. I'm at the second tan stripe of the front/back section. This is a quick knit, even though it looks detailed, it does move along quickly, so maybe I'll get it done this summer...here's hoping!


And my Frock Camisole. The yarn photographed more cranberry that what it actually is. (And can you guess which visiting dog got a hold of this yarn?)
So, there's the update on my WIP's. We've finished up both kids spring sports last night. My Munchkin's baseball team had a difficult season this year and almost (they were soooo close) to winning a playoff game last night, but lost by 1 point! Oh, well, there's always next year! My LittleOne's softball finished last week, too. So, now we're on to our summer activities of swim lessons, getting together with friends and possibly a vacation at the end of this month. Since summer break is pretty short out here (they start school in early August believe it or not!), we've got to squeeze a lot of activities in a two-month time period.
I'm going to keep on knitting and see what I can get done here in the next month or so. (And I'll try to take some more pictures and be a better blogger!)
