The heat has been tough to deal with during the last few weeks. I know it's all over the country and I hear some friends saying how hard it is to keep cool and safe. Luckily, I do have air conditioning and stay inside with it most of the time. I keep all the blinds closed to and that helps to keep the house from heating up.
My crafting has been affected by body aches and pains. I didn't finish my spinning goals for Tour de Fleece this year because of this. It's the first time nothing was completed during the race since I started participating in it. My intentions are to finish the two fiber I started before the end of August. My other crafting had to take a week long break as well so I could rest my hands. Extremely small amounts of cross stitch has been done in the past week or so. I did finish my "Skaha" sweater a few days ago, and promptly cast on for the "Hoarfrost" Shawl by Andrea Mowry. That's moving along splendidly. I have until September 30th to finish it for a KAL in one of the Ravelry groups I'm in.
We finally bought the new crockpot to replace the one Pat broke. I picked a smaller one, since nothing seems to make it to the freezer. lol I mad Shredded Barbeque Chicken breast in it three days ago. It was only two large breasts so I knew it would go fast. Meatballs and sauce or a roast are next on the menu to cook in it.
