We're Done and Thank you Deb and Apron tribute!

Hooray, we're done! The car's crammed full of dirty clothes, bedding, pine needles, sit-upons and other crafty delights and it all reeks of Off Mosquito Repellant and campfire smoke. Everything will be unloaded later, everyone is bathing as I type and then we're on to naps.

Last night I discovered our air mattress leaks. We ended up sleeping inside an open-air covered shelter for fear of rain that never came. All in all it was a fun experience. I enjoyed being with the girls and helping them earn their badges, meet new friends and try new activities. They were mostly an attentive, respectful and fun bunch of girls (some had their moments, but that's typical for all children). The adults... well, most of them are extremely nice ladies. They volunteer their time and money to make camp fun and wonderful. But as with most organized events, politics and cliques manage to find their way in and wreake havoc. Enough said.

Upon arriving home I discovered a package patiently waiting on the back porch. Inside this package was none other than this:

That would be 410 yards of Merino Wool sock yarn dyed in the Desert Flower colorway from Deb at Fearless Fibers! It is scrumptious and destined to be transformed into these socks. For some reason these lovely colors make me feel like cables. Thank you Deb, I am in awe of your beautiful dyeing job and I can't wait to knit them up!

The ever-talented Sherrill over at Baa Bonny Belle has written the most wonderful tribute to aprons ever. Not only should everyone drop by and read it, but we should encourage Sherrill to start up a sew-along or exchange as well!

And don't forget Ferg's adverb contest, it ends in two days!

Now off to wash and condition A-3's hair, check on my chickens and take that nap.
