I'm back!

Well, it's been awhile- and for good reason! In the two months since I posted last, the fiancee and I have been in 10 different states, have spent at least 38 hours driving across all of those states, had a car break down en route (and subsequently sold to a salvage yard), had a hard drive crash, and have had to adjust to humidity. The last few months have been trying, to say the least.

And speaking of that humidity- once we got to Iowa, it was hot. It was very very hot. And, lets just say that I wasn't exactly in the mood to have the wool project I was working on touching me, let alone covering my lap.

But, of course, I couldn't go without any crafts! So, I whipped out the book of iron-on embroidery patterns that I've had for years but have barely used, and made a few coasters and a small wall hanging.

It's cooled off some in the past few weeks, so my needles are back to clicking... on this lovely lace shawl! I'm using a merino/cashmere/alpaca blend, and it's heavenly. I'll post pictures when it looks more like a shawl than it does now!

So what have you been working on in the hot summer heat? Let me know in the comments!
