Works in Progress

I've been making it very important I'm working on something for these next few weeks, to ensure I'm not vegging out in front of my laptop. I think its working out just fine. So here's some progress from Sunday and Monday.



It's summer (well, technically late spring), and I've got friends asking to borrow my books. Now I don't mind lending them, it's just I've had friends forget they've been keeping my book. My solution, make a million and seven bookplates to remind them, that book isn't theirs!



I'm still making slow progress on the second sock. I usually will pick it up when I feel like some tiny knitting to calm my nerves.



I'm actually much farther along on this. But it's where I was yesterday afternoon. I've made the back, the right side, and this is the left side. I'm sure by the time this publishes, I'll be working on my first sleeve if I pace myself correctly. =D



I've been gathering up stash fabric, and making bow brooches. Well, I think I'll make bow brooches. I'm thinking making them little hair bows if I get my hands on some alligator clips. What do you guys think?

What things are you working on?

Things I've had my eye on

Today I decided to do a bit of virtual shopping on Modcloth. Thankfully my wallet was far far away as I imagined a cute summery ensemble for myself.

Dress

Tote

Shoes

Swimsuit

Hat

If I had all the money, and wasn’t wary of online shopping for clothes, I’d totally buy all of these, and shimmy down to the beach with a good book tucked in that tote bag.

Do any of you have any dream summery ensembles?

Link Dump

When one ignores her bloglovin for a couple of weeks, they tend to have a lot of nifty blog posts to share later.

Elsie and Emma talked about Time Management, and whoa boy, am I diligently reading this!

With the weather here in the Northern Hemisphere looking more and more lovely, Diana decided to give some tips to new bikers. Another thing I'll be reading diligently again, as I've been dusting my bike off.

Sally posted this lovely lavender salt scrub tutorial, which once I get my hands on some lavender, I'll be making some!

Sarai gave some great advice on having a practical wardrobe.

Hope you enjoy this weeks links!
