I haven’t completed a knit or crochet item in seven months! It took summer to spur me into action. It took the desire for a lacey cotton cardigan to take with me on our casual nights out.

This past week involved a glorious four-day weekend. It’s hard to go wrong when there are all of those work-free days available.

This is the mosaic of somebody who had a four day weekend and didn’t let it go to waste. I had family time, I crocheted, I played some more with the fusion of NFC technology and polymer clay, I used polymer and resin to copy a pair of beloved-but-no-longer-for-sale Etsy-bought earrings that I lost, I got my dirty car washed so it sparkles and shines, and I enjoyed the last of the peonies.
