mmmm....blueberries

Well, I certainly get behind on this whole posting thing, huh?

On Monday we went blueberry picking. It was a good day for it, although I missed my shoulders when I put on the sunscreen, so I ended up with a burn on each shoulder. It was uncomfortable to say the least.
After blueberry picking, we went to the Sun Festival in Tsawassen. (must check spelling). There wasn't really much, although the curly fries were good.

No new knitting of note, just plugging away at the same projects. I did, however, get a lot done - on Tuesday I decided to try to watch all 6 seasons of Gilmore Girls in order. This resulted in a lot of very bad knitting. Yesterday I watched so much Gilmore Girls, I started getting confused and talking very fast.
(And on one of my side notes - I only own Season 3 &4 of Gilmore Girls. My sisters, who are roommates, own 1,2,5, &6. Since I live a 45 minute drive from them, this seems a bit odd, to me at least.)

I should be called: The Last Minute Crafter

Here are some of the first few blackberries we've picked. They're not that great, but hey, early blackberries. I'd intended to post a picture of what the blackberries turned into, but, um, we ate it. We'll be doing more berry picking though.For my MIL's surprise birthday party, I made a bunch of tissue holders as favours, based on this tutorial. She asked me to make her a yellow one to put in a gift basket for a friend of hers, and we're going to see her tomorrow. So here is a picture of my table at about 9:30pm.


And here it is at about 11:00pm.

whew. Now off to bed. Sewing is not my strong suit, but these tissue holders are pretty straightforward. Of course, I made a few mistakes in the first one and had to do some ripping, but that's the way life is.
