I have been working on MAPLE LEAF shawls this week. Nothing but MAPLE LEAF shawls. No progress on the Granny Square Blanket or on the spinning. All MAPLE LEAF, all the time.

August 2014 Preview
I know we are a week into the month, but there’s still 3 more weeks to go, so I’m still calling this a preview! August is a HPKCHC break month. I use break months to finish anything that is lingering from the end of term and get all my plans made for the beginning of the next term. Chris and I are vacationing the last week of August (heading to New Jersey to visit his mother), so I need to plan for some portable projects that I can bring with me on that trip.
July 2014 Wrap Up
July was a rather frustrating month of crafting. I met few of my goals. I expected to get a lot done because I was home for the entire month, but this turned out not to be the case. Since I was home for the entire month, I spent a lot of time catching up on home tasks that had languished while I was doing so much traveling between March and June. It was excellent and necessary to get those things done, but it meant the crafting did not get done.
WIP Wednesday: August 6, 2014
I have been delinquent in my WIP Wednesday posts, in part because I have been embarrassed by how little crafting I did in July. But that is one purpose of the WIP Wednesday posts: motivating me to make progress, because it isn’t interesting content if there’s no progress. Fortunately, I have progress!
MAPLE LEAF the Fourth
I am a bit behind on my blogging! I finished MAPLE LEAF the Fourth on Sunday, June 27, in time to turn it in for the final round of Quidditch! I haven’t missed posting a finished MAPLE LEAF the Third, by the way. I am still not finished weaving in the ends. Soon. I hope.
