It's August!

I can't believe it's August already!  Unreal!  Where did the time go?  School starts on the 26th.  Back to school sales have started and the cooler weather seems to have come.  We even have a tree that has completely changed color.  What is up with that?
Sitting in front of the computer hasn't really been fun for me lately.  Well, I guess sitting and typing hasn't.  I certainly have been logging hours online.  I've been looking up various directions on how to make things.  This morning, for instance, I was checking out how to make a canvas floor mat.  Tomorrow, my sister Chelsi and I are supposed to get started on floor mats (with three kids in tow).  I'll be making something to go on the NEW bathroom floor.
The last time I wrote, I mentioned the bathroom overhaul.  It's going well,  but taking WAYYYYY longer than expected.  In fact, while I write this, Jamie is slaving away installing a piece of new drywall.  We have most of the room painted (we'll continue this work again tomorrow) and the floor is in.  We're still waiting for the vanity.  Once that arrives, I'll arrange for a countertop, sink, and faucet.  We ordered a non-standard vanity. It's 46" long and it will be up against a wall.  I'm hesitant to order a new top until we have the base installed.  If anyone has any recommendations, I'd appreciate it.  Feel free to email me about it!
I got the nicest text from a student I had last year.  He went to PEI and visited Hope River Studio.  He even got to see the angora bunnies that I loved so much!  I love when my students keep in touch (even all the way in PEI).
Yesterday, we went to the Lake Sunapee Crafts Fair.  We joined Jamie's Aunt and Uncle there to take a peek at local art.  SOOOO inspiring!  Speaking of crafts...I've been working on a felted puffer fish.  It might be a pin cushion, it might not.  Either way, I'm having fun with it.  
Larkin and Silas went with me today to see my friend Wendy (Mrs. Johnson to the students reading).  We had a yummy lunch and DELICIOUS  blueberry cake!  She even took us to Dr. Shell's house to see the animals and made Larkin a stained glass dragon fly.  I think she should go into business!
Wouldn't it be fun to have a business?  What kind of business would you have if you could have a business (I'm feeling a little like Dr. Seuss)....
