Ice cream overdose
Geez, has it already been five days since my last post? I have pictures taken of my latest craft project, but I don’t have the energy to explain them.
I blame Neil. He dragged me kicking and screaming to Dairy Queen tonight and forced me to eat a Cappuccino Heath Blizzard. Oh, the nerve of some people! And two hours later, here I am, still in an ice cream coma.
Maybe I’ll have posting energy tomorrow. For now, can I just show you the most recent Picture Summer images? (This kind of feels like a cop-out, I’m doing it so frequently…)
day 9 (circles and a partial triangle in the back yard)
day 10 (making memories in the hotel pool at Readercon)
day 11 (treating myself to a magazine I’ve been wanting)
day 12 (simple solitude with my knitting needles)
day 13 (fruit that was once juicy but is now frozen)
I am noticing that this project is inspiring me to explore textures and other processing effects more than I usually do. Don’t know why that is, but I’m going with it.
I’m off to digest this ice cream once and for all, and glare at my crazy skinny bottomless pit of a husband who happily slurped up twice as much ice cream as I did and who most decidedly does not feel like the blimp that I feel like.

Since I haven’t been doing anything these last few sweltering days that is worth talking about, maybe you’d like to see some more of my Picture Summer shots? The first three were here. These are all in response to daily prompts. So far, I don’t feel like I’ve taken any earth-shatteringly fabulous pictures, but for [...]

Heather at Beauty That Moves is hosting a little series wherein participants share glimpses of their works in progress during these Summer days. It sounded like a nice idea to me, particularly since nothing is actually getting completed around here lately… This is what I’m doing in my spare time: A baby sweater. Making the [...]

I signed up for Tracey Clark‘s online Picture Summer class today (still a few days left, if you want to join in, too!). It officially began on July 1st, so I needed three photos to catch up. one. (it isn’t summer without my beach quilt) two. (sprinkler shy) three. (the wineberries are in – summer [...]

Some lovely photos these last few weeks on Flickr. Be sure to click on the image for individual photo credits. I’ve got a tiny sweater on the needles, a few sewing projects waiting on the dining room table, a couple of yummy recipes I’m eager to make, and a completely un-scheduled holiday weekend ahead. That [...]

School let out for the summer a week ago today. Sometimes I think we’ve done nothing in that time but find more and more ways to get wet. Hose, lake, pool, sprinkler. I haven’t been posting much, lest my keyboard get soaked

I discovered last year that I really liked cotton lawn fabric for summer – it’s so lightweight and breathable. The only problem is that it’s hard to find inexpensively. Enter Dharma Trading Company and their nice selection of unprinted fabrics. Plain white cotton lawn can be had for a fraction of the cost of the [...]

I originally posted about these slushy, delicious fruity drinks back in 2007. Since then, I’ve made a few tiny changes (and taken some much nicer pictures, if we’re being honest here) and thought it was worth an update. We make these smoothies every year when the weather turns hot. They’re like Summer in a Cup! [...]

Neil and I came up with this game to get our kids out of the house and running around the yard a bit. I’m calling it Backyard Bingo, but in reality it takes place all over the yard (not just in the back) and technically it’s not really Bingo, either. So it’s totally mis-named, but [...]
