The first day of Summer 2009 falls on June 21 this year. It's also Father's Day.
What are your plans for this momentous occasion? Other than eating (as I'll tell you about in my next entry), I'm occupied with my summer creative endeavors.
1. I've decided not to try to make something for my husband's Father's Day gift this year. I'm getting him, instead, a new cell phone. One of those rough and tough phones that you can drop (repeatedly) or submerge (guess where). He really needs this phone. Maybe he'll even answer it when I call him.
2. I'm crocheting potholders again. I've got the pattern memorized, and they're the perfect projects to carry along with me on my summer adventures. All I need is a little skein of cotton yarn, a hook, and my Debbie Macomber Single Project Bag, and I'm on my way.
3. I've been busy lately writing a series of beading articles for one of our companion websites. Now I'm feeling compelled to make my own earrings. (They might even be crocheted if I can figure out how to add beads to the digital download pattern I've found. Check out this free Crocheted Earrings Pattern at CrochetSoiree.com! And yes, to those of you who've followed Irene from the beginning! These earring originally started out on iCreateit.com and went away, but I found them again...)
4. I'm going to try working on my Artist Trading Cards again. Life got hectic for a while, but now I'm ready to play with collage and vintage pictures again.
5. I also want to paint my dining table green. For some reason, that idea bothers the people who live at our house. I'm not quite sure why???
6. And finally, the eldest child graduated from high school on May 21—an honor student no less. I must scrapbook her achievement! Plus, I've also promised to make a shadowbox to hold her graduation hat, sash, tassel, Governor's School medal, and diploma.
Hopefully, I'll accomplish some of the goodies on my creative summer list. Happy Summer Creativity to you, too!
