Finally, it feels like summer. Yes, I can hear the raindrops mewing and barking past my window. Yes, I still have 13 projects and tests to grade. Yes, I still have to wake up before even the summer sun rises. But things are starting to relax, and it feels wonderful.<\/p>\n

It’s finally June. And it’s my yearly task to begin making Elise’s birthday dress for another little girl. It’ll be pink this year. I’ve got the pattern in my head already.<\/p>\n
I’m also going to tackle a few other undone projects cluttering up my craft table. It’s amazing how much more creative and energetic I feel when just a few things are off my plate. There’s the scrapbooking, some clothes for Isaac, and juicy summer reading.<\/p>\n
