Hrm. Not quite as blazingly successful as I'd hoped. I mean, there was the whole "moving house" thing, and then I didn't have quite the materials I needed for Bananabella's Christmas present, and of course all my supplies were packed so I couldn't use them.
Anyway. I did get a few things crossed off the list, and made progress on my current spinning project, and saw Faith Ringgold speak on her art oh my god. She's hilarious. Such a delightful dry wit, and her delivery is exquisite. And her ART is glorious. I'm so angry that in elementary school we were taught about her as if she were long-dead.

Really truly this time. I'm gonna put pockets in my remaining skirts. Before summer ends, and before I get distracted making yet more skirts. I'm also adding a bunch of my spinning projects to the list; normally they just happen in the background, but I want to cross more things off, so onto the list they go.
I also need to get moving on the Christmas presents I'm making this year. None of them are terribly complicated, but if I don't start soon, I just won't have time to get them finished. And that would be sad.
And, to further enable my farmers market/crunchy granola aesthetic, I want to make some roughly-pint-sized drawstring bags to replace the plastic bags most vendors use to help contain things like blueberries and green beans and small tomatoes.
