It has been the Summer of the the grand and great grands

and ferrying them back and forth to gymnastic, and baseball camp.  No one with little people think and know that it is not as simple as said.  There is laundry and lost items and lunch boxes to fill and getting them to bed and worse getting them up if not kept to a set bedtime.  Needless to say I have been busy but not so much as I would like to have been in the studio.  My knitting needles are getting a good workout making charity knitted hats for a local hospital nursery.  I have no problem putting my needles down and picking up where I left off when I here my name being called by a little person.

I was trying to take a picture of Olivia.  My youngest grandchild.  She has been here for almost two months this summer.  Below is my daughter Rene with Xaviar 8 and Aundrea 5.  Feather weight, 77.  Just acquired it a week ago and had time to stitch with it today.

Still working on the Mariner's compass composition.  Have changed the arrangement several times and still not sure of it yet.

The last compass  I think is being sewn together. 

  I haven't had enough concentrated time to audition my fabric choices for the background yet.  

 

The great-grands are here for another two weeks.  Olivia is going home on Monday.  The school year for her is starting soon.
