Happy July, with a sad twist.

It's July! Warmth, fruity drinks, relaxing by the pool, and spending time with friends. All wonderful things. Unfortunately, my parents' barn partially collapsed in a storm a couple weeks ago, so I spent a couple hours this past weekend helping to clean up some mess and sort through items before they have to tear the rest of it down. It was built over a century ago by an ancestor, so it's hard to see it go.

Goodbye, old friend. :-(

After helping out for a couple hours on Saturday and Sunday, we headed home only to find that one of our angora rabbits had died. She was six years old, which is getting up there for angora rabbits, but I was still surprised. Her appetite had decreased, but she was still eating pellets and hay, gobbling down treats whenever they were offered, and having regular "bathroom habits".

Bye sweetie. :-(

Okay, on to happier things!

June was a slower craft month for me, but I got a couple things finished:

Two fabric flower pins, perfect for adorning bags and coats. The first is made using fabric that has sugar skulls on it, the second is some leftover floral fabric I had on hand.

I also finished a patriotic ruffle scarf:

I also made a nine woven squares that will become plaid people. You'll have to wait until they are finished to see the pictures!

Besides that, I spent the month working on some stranded colorwork mittens and running around like a chicken with my head cut off. How is it that my summer always ends up just as busy as my school year?
