Screaming to a Halt

That's what this week feels like. Like the summer is screaming to a halt. So many things we planned to do.
We had hoped to camp this summer, go to the zoo, see more people. Ugh. There is a week before school begins and I feel like I am running out of air.
The kids want more time, I am reluctant to face the reality of a set schedule and I will go back to college when they go back to school. I am excited and apprehensive about that.
We have been watching the Olympics. I am knitting away on the afghan sweater.
I also had a custom order from etsy for a flower girl basket.
I love custom orders! I get such a charge out of the flower girl baskets. Every little girl that I have given one of my baskets to just loves it. I like the idea that the flower girl will keep this and hold her treasures in it.
I received my item from the Namaste Art Swap.
The person who sent me my item has an etsy shop. The piece was a lovely 4X4 inch canvas painting of a little house on a hill. The house has a red door and it is lovely. So pretty.
I love the idea of the swap, i've never done one before and think I might check out another one.
