Busy Busy Busy...
I get such a kick out of certain months...June is one. In my work, we have 3 different years to worry about - of course, the calendar year we're ALL on (for payroll), then the federal fiscal year - which matches our organization's fiscal year (October - September), and then the state fiscal year (July - June). So three times a year, I get to do "year end."
Which is why June is so high up on my list...NOT!!
Obviously, my days are a bit stressed right now. So I can handle this sort of knitting:
That's the first dishcloth I've made from the Evelyn Clark book Dishcloths From the Heart that I mentioned down below...I have a second one on the needles now.
Then on my OTHER blog, I've been talking about making changes for health reasons...I know I should do all this stuff anyway, but every year about this time, I have to renew my commitment. It's easier when gorgeous stuff is in the stores to feast upon...tonight I was able to put together a magnificent salad on the grocery store salad bar (I know, it's not locally grown, but still!)
And another commitment is doing more yoga...The Meezer insists on helping me:
I'll keep the bag warm for you
You should have seen her with her head down in the bottom of the bag - and don't you KNOW the camera was in the den on the desk? A long ways away...drat! I managed to get up and get the camera but too late - this was the best I could do!
And just because things are busy at work, doesn't mean that Nana Sadie Rose takes a break...
This is one of my most recent Sadie bags. I could not believe how the fabrics went together for this one (I know I say that a lot, but this one really was amazing!) I had the outside fabric from one of my online sources. I went up to Floyd, VA to Schoolhouse Fabrics (about an hour away and up a REALLY steep mountain - with the twisty-windy roads to boot!), and in two different rooms of the store I discovered the inside lining (which is a smaller scale white on violet print that matches the outside) and another print for the pockets that mimics the outside done by a completely different fabric house.
THAT'S SERENDIPITY! I love it when that happens...
Ok...enough break...back to work!

I got my bag today. I LOVE IT!!!!
Yeah, I need to get recommitted to living healthfully. I do pretty well on the eating, but gotta get back in my exercise routine...
I love that fabric! I haven't been to schoolhouse fabrics in years. But then again I am trying to stay away from the fabric craze. Still not finished with sisters quilt. Shame on me!
good for you on the health kick & eating a salad is great even if the ingredients aren't from your local farmer's market.
Beautiful bag!
I like how The Meezer "helps" with your yoga. I've been trying to get back into that myself. Watching a cat do "down dog" or "up dog" can be a bit disheartening. I hope you can stick with it! Don't skip shivasana at the end! You'll need it with all your June work.
Wow! Both the bag and the washcloth are beautiful.. And the Meezer, as usual, is gorgeous!
I love the way you always find the perfect fabric for your bags...that purple really is stunning...another masterpiece! :)
What an adorable dishcloth! :)
