Ambitious

It's a three day weekend in the US, but in need of a longer break I'm making mine a four day weekend. I've got lots of plans for my four days. They may be ambitious: I'd like to complete four projects in four days.

I plan to make the sun hat and yoga tote from Lotta Jansdotter's Simple Sewing. These projects have been sitting on my personal sewing wish list for over a year so it is time to make them a reality. Next on my list is my very own big beyond belief birdie sling. Before summer is over I'm going to need my perfect summer carry-all. My fourth project will be a simple (I hope) A-line skirt from the Barcelona pattern. No shorts for me. Skirts are the way to go.

It will not be all work and no play, however. I plan to work in plenty of pure relaxation. There is a pedicure in the works. There is a stack of books that need my attention. There is a barbeque to attend. There are long walks to be had. Hopefully the weather will even cooperate long enough so we can sneak in our postponed Portland day trip.

I hope your Fourth of July weekend holds as much promise of work, of the fun variety, and great relaxation, too.
