before I left

We are back.  We had a good time but did not get as much done as we would have liked.  One of the many snag piles is 2/3 done.  A bit of weed wacking was done so we can walk to the shed.  Our one clearing had grass and flowers that were four feet high.  I got a bit of sleep but the rest really came from a relief from the heat and being outside all day.  I kept thinking that I just pull weeds wherever I go.

It is very hard to be back.  My brain is creatively working at the level of a drop spindle.  I can spin for hours but not much else is going on.  But then the boyos really only slept today.  Small Mister is currently jumping off the walls because he has slept on and off all day.  I think I am going to have a difficult time sleeping tonight.

I made this hemp linen dress the week before I left.  It is another dress I modeled off others I have seen oniline.  French instead of Japanese this time.  The fabric is actually leftover from a skirt I made a couple years ago.  The skirt was just too stiff.  The sleeves on this dress are the skirt.  I had actually had planned to make two skirts so the rest of the dress comes from the rest of the fabric.  I like it.  It shines.

I am thinking I may order some softer linen so I can make this dress again but softer.  This one feels a bit dressy.

I am trying back into the swing of things.  I will see how it goes.
