So this morning, I cleaned up and put away all the summer build-up on my kitchen counters and in the kid's cubbies.
Then I baked these for the Fish Fry tomorrow and the Labor Day party Sunday (we get to eat those darker brown ones this afternoon). 
While I baked, I worked on this. Played around with tassels and a crochet edging. Almost done. 
Then, in the mail came this (many thanks to Pocket Farm links -- 2 lbs of Chevre and Herbes de Provence coming right up). 
And these.
Which hold these.
Like this.
This has been a very good day.
Productivity and presents are both wonderful things. Good for you!

Almost done with the entrelac? NO FAIR! That's what I get for doing mine on size 2 needles.
And how many socks to you have going at the same time? I think you need to become a distributor for those thingamabobs.
Lastly, I just might go to a catholic shindig if I can get one of those cookies. Mmmmmm. Cookies.

Wanna come clean up my summer build-up? I may just call it all a permanent design fixture. Now, cookies and fish frys, there's an idea. And the scarf looks pretty good to me too. Have a fun weekend! (I'll be working for most of it.)

Those needle keepers look fantastic.
I'm still stalking you, but in a completely harmless manner. Watch the mail for your package ...

My children do not return to school until next THURSDAY. Its going to be a long week with "the wheels on the bus" playing a continuous loop in my head. Really, I enjoy having them home all summer, but lately, they're bored, I'm going crazy.. Time to get back to the routine.
LOVE the new tool. How did you find those? I must get some. Can't tell you how many times I've dropped stitches off socks because the needles slipped out in my knitting bag.
And do let me know how the cheese goes. I keep meaning to place an order.. but keep forgetting.
