I have to share that I have absolutely ZERO creative mojo these days. None, nada, zilch. Don't know where it went, but wherever it is, it's hiding real well. As an example, I am trying really hard to crochet a baby blanket for a friend. I've already made a few from this pattern booklet and the patterns aren't hard. My plan was to have it done last week. (I started it around Memorial weekend) No mojo meant I didn't get that goal reached. I didn't even have the body done. So, there went that idea. The edging of this blanket is relatively easy, but I had to evenly space 119 single crochet stitches along the long sides of the blanket and 83 stitches along the short sides. No mojo meant that it was incredibly frustrating to figure out how to evenly space the stitches, and it took wayyyy longer than it should have. And once that was done, no mojo meant that the next few edging rows, which are incredibly easy normally (basically a single crochet and a chain 5), have been pulled out a couple of times now because I made a silly mistake. At this rate, I'll be lucky to have it done by the end of summer break!
Since there are no creative efforts to share, I thought I'd share some pictures...
Playing in a new sprinkler thingamabob.
Our backyard may actually be too small for how far this goofy thing sprays water. Some sprinkles got into the open door to the house!
Summer Break as started.

The deck pictures were taken on June 1st.
On June 8th...we have a gap!!!
On June 10th, the gap got bigger!
It was the strawberry that created the bigger gap. LOL
The girls and I are enjoying our summer break. So, for now, while the mojo is awol, I'm going to continue to enjoy this time with my girls and not stress about any lack of creating.
So, if you don't see anything from me for a while, you know why. I hope you have a great summer with your family.
