Why must summer leave so quickly??
Not that I'll really miss the heat but rather the extra free time I get to work on projects. Actually I will be glad for the cooling that comes with fall, maybe I will actually be able to wear some of the cold weather things I have been making. That brings me to my latest finished project another shawl! I used the pattern 198 Yards of Heaven by Christy Verity, but I used four balls of yarn to make it bigger. It was made with Noro Chirimen in the green colorway.
I love the way it turned out.
Plus I had a little bit left-over, which is always nice,and guess what I made?
Ta-Da!!!
A headband!
It is from another free pattern called
Tangled by Emily McLaughlin.

I finished it in only two days, working on it on and off, yesterday and today.
This is Sheila "helping" me finish the headband, as she often does.
I love how peacful and sweet she looks like this :)
Then wam-oh!!
Oh no, watch out yarn!
You are her prey!!!!
I spent this afternoon cooking up some little treatsies for Jessica, so first up I made some chocolate covered strawberries. One of her favorites, of course.
Then I made some meltaway cookies, which she also loves but really we all love them.
I have been working on sewing up some pot-holders and other bits as well, trying but failing to forget today is the last day of summer...
Oh well, here's to a grand fall of new beginnings, new classes, and new-found friends!
XOXO, Callie
Some time ago, my sister's and I had a rare weekend where we were all free. So we decided, to go up to one of my favorite cities: Austin! While there, Kaitlyn found this cafe along Lake Travis called Mozart's. 
It was right next to the lake, and oh so serene. Not too hot, with a bit of breeze :) 
I ordered some European style chocolate mousse. 
Jessica got a triple layer chocolate cake. So moist! 
The lake was so pretty. 
I will definitely be coming back, again and again...
