Hankering for a getaway

(photo from a previous trip)

Hubby and I have checked the campground on the island - booked solid.  Everyone else must have the same idea.  Other than non-electric sites that have no water view.  I love the water because it's very relaxing and I can enjoy the sunrises every morning.  It bums me out we can't go.

I'll get over it.  Maybe. 
Maybe after a one hour pity party.  After such a long summer of preserving, I am hankering for time away.

It felt so good to get a day off from canning yesterday.  I did however, mosey around and waste some time away (unintentionally).  I still had laundry and such, and I exercised.   I finally cleaned out my purse and changed it (found receipts for wood pellets from last February, ha ha!), finished a crocheted eyeglass case for Hubby, started another for myself, and worked a teensy bit on our oldest Daughter's pot holder set.

Here is the book that the bookmark patterns are in:

I simply make one square and edge it with the reverse stitch to create the keychain to match.  I use the pattern #4 in the book.  It's more of a two page pamphlet than a book.


Here is the book where I found the pattern for the crocheted eyeglass case as well.

Laundry is up before the sunrise today.  It's pitch dark out yet.  Oh, and I brought in more tomatoes.  It's not a lot, but there were more.  I'll try to get my laundry detergent recipe posted soon.  I'm still writing up that tutorial on the stitched cards as well.
