TWiP: Little knits and little flowers ⋆ Polka Dot Cottage

I went a little crazy near the end of this week, thinking I could knit a baby sweater in 2 days without losing my mind. Spoiler alert: the sweater is unfinished, and my mind is as intact as it was before I started. I’m about to be late for a party for the birthday girl that was to get the little sweater, so I will keep my comments to a minimum and just get on with the pictures 😁

So, what is This Week in Pictures?

It’s a roundup of the microblogging I’ve done on Instagram all week. This includes photos I shot for Project 365 (the theme for 2018 is mornings: #myyearofmornings2018) and any other extra images I may have posted.

Photos taken with 📷 (Canon EOS 80 D) or 📱 (Samsung Galaxy S7).

Ready? Cast your mind back to this time last week…

This morning it didn't take me long to go from "time to take a shower" and "what should I wear?" to "I'm probably clean enough" and "these pajamas seem good" 🤣 #myyearofmornings Jul 07

Seems like a beautiful day for some front step coffee making. Finally getting smart about this and putting everything on a tray instead of carrying it out one piece at a time. Duh. #myyearofmornings Jul 08

This weekend I'm spending a lot of time like this, setting up my new desktop and getting ready to retire the old laptop.

Took a short lunch hour walk, and I found a whole bunch of interesting things growing wild around the building. #myyearofmornings Jul 09

Yesterday I took that tiny flower and stuck it in a bottle of water on my desk, even though it doesn't go with the colors of my cubicle 😜. It closed in the midafternoon, and I thought maybe that was it, but it opened up again this morning 💜 #myyearofmornings Jul 10

It's not really shawl weather out here, but it will be at my desk. The air conditioning has been blowing on me more than usual. #myyearofmornings Jul 11

I've got the materials. But do I have the stamina to bang out a tiny sweater in 3 days? Only one way to find out…

I'm always impressed (and not in a good way) by the mess that gets left in the 2nd floor ladies room, but someone has taken it to a whole new level by removing one of the stall doors entirely 🤔 #myyearofmornings Jul 12

He's sitting in my favorite knitting spot in this room, but that's ok. I forgive him. 💛

Coffee in bed on a Friday? This can only mean two things: Neil is not here, and I've taken the day off. Here's to doing whatever the heck I feel like doing today! ☕ #myyearofmornings Jul 13

So far, I have thoroughly enjoyed #lisasdayoff. I spent the morning knitting, and the afternoon messing around with my music library and putting together a new CD for summer. I'll share on 8tracks some time this weekend. For now, though, it's back to knitting this #missdaisysweater 😊 PS. I've been documenting my day in my story, if you want to see!

  Thanks, Chloe! I brought a sunflower in today, so I’ve gone the complete opposite direction, LOL!
