Loving Summer

While there is much to create stress this summer - furloughs and the accompanying financial worries, a pandemic that is spiraling out of control, and separation from loved ones - I'm finding my own peace.  Much of it is found in my hammock...
...where I've soundly crushed my goal of reading 24 books this year.  To date, I've read 66 books, so my new goal is 100 books.  I'm currently reading Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow and Elizabeth Gilbert's City of Girls, two books that couldn't be any more different from each other.

I'm also making great progress on the quilts I am making for others.  I'm two-thirds done with this floating churn dash and am absolutely loving making it.  I thrive off of making scrap quilts, and love when there is no limit on the colors I am using.

I'll be adding two more rows then calling it good.  It's for a child (but not a baby) and should measure 66x74.5 when done
I also spent a day this weekend adding more of my yarn stash to my Ravelry account and adding the final singleton skeins of yarn left over from when I sold my yarn shop three years ago to my ETSY shop. 
Mirai - One of the yarns I just added to my ETSY shop

It feels good to organize things, especially when so much of life seems out of my control these days.

I'm linking up with Oh Scrap and Monday Making.
