Summer Fun

Since summer is half over, it is obviously time for some summer projects.

I started a bag at my spring retreat (where I never finished anything). This week, it occurred to me that it is a perfect match for a dress I am planning to wear to a family event next week. I also realized that it was more "summery" then the bag I am currently carrying. So this week's finish:

It took me less than and hour to finish, so I wonder why it has been sitting so long!
Inside, before the grommets and handles.
I was humoured to find that someone has been eating acorns in the Muskoka Chair.
I have also been working on a shawl that I think looks very summery.
I love that yarn, the colours are wonderful. It is Knit Picks Chroma, in Roller Skate. Fortunately I have more!

The kittens have been busy, helping with home renovations.
Erika is ready with the screwdriver, while Leah has a firm grip on the pliers!
