Weekending

I took Friday off so we could attend the kids’ Literacy Fair at school!

We visited their classrooms, first — I made it to everyone’s room except Davy’s. Boy, he looks pooped, doesn’t he? It was a very active, busy morning! Davy wrote his own book, and there’s even a bio page with his picture — absolutely adorable. The other kids each did reports in various forms.

I took a few group pics.

I actually have very few photos from Maddy’s visit. On the one hand, that’s good, no? We were in the moment, living life. On the other hand, I have very few photos from Maddy’s visit.

She’s begun her journey back to Australia, spending a couple of days in Milwaukee before departing Chicago on Tuesday. Miss her already.

I won’t be doing an Unraveled post this week, so am sharing my very exciting knitting news now. I finished the first Farfalle sleeve yesterday!

Right side on the left, wrong side on the right. (Click for bigger images.)

Oh, those color changes! The second sleeve is underway.

I also cut all the sashing for my quilt yesterday, and sewed the first two rows of blocks together. It’s starting to feel real!!
