Dress Turquoise Longinndry
I was really happy with how these turned out. The colors were so much fun to work with! For A.M-S in MN.

Too cute
Julius' compete Antarctic Tartan outfit. The jacket is lined with a penguin fabric. Recently I put lace cuffs on the sleeves and I plan to redo the jabot to match. He really looks sharp up there on stage!
Dress Wine Sutherland Hose
These hose were finished in April for T. Fulforth. Dress Wine Sutherland tartan split diamonds. These were fun to do and the yarn colors were a good match to the tartan. I was happy to see them in action at Fair Hill.
Not really
Yes, I still have a blog, but I don't really blog anymore. I had high hopes in April to keep up with this, but alas I haven't. Things have been crazy busy. My hose business, Bonnietoes, has taken off. I've had to turn away orders there are so many people who need hose! So, this is a good thing. I've made a jacket for Julius for dance and a kilt for my nephew and my brother-in-law. I have 2 possible commissions for other kilts. Other crafting is on hold, but the Scottish related crafting is going on full steam ahead!

A quick update on the last half of a year!
I've decided that my reflective life expressed through blogging will move forward both here and on fieldlearning (the homeschooling blog). I hope to use this post to hit on a few highlights, probably without hyperlinks which I will regret not putting in at a later point, but for now, posting without links is better than not posting at all!
I heart Ravelry! - I'm Bonnietoes on Ravelry and I think this is about the coolest web interface software, community thing anywhere! I hope to use it more for cataloging my yarns and keeping track of my projects.
Speaking of Bonnietoes - my kilt hose making venture is going well. I've got a number of orders and a few more people who seem interested. I am enjoying the projects and so far I've spaced them appropriately enough to not feel rushed or under pressure (which would take all the enjoyment out of it!)
Personal knitting - besides a couple of small projects I've made an Aran shrug for myself out of homespun Romney. I am so excited that I actually took this project from roving to garment.
Spinning - I've gotten some lovely rovings at the PA Farm Show from Terry Kunst and Kate Bostek and am having a blast spinning those up. Also working on a website for Kate (http://www.roclans.com) hoping to make some extra money to get a new wheel at MD Sheep and wool.
Hope to have pictures of some of the other projects soon, but for now see me on Ravelry!
