Happiness Is A Butterfly, Or Three!!

A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam,
and for a brief moment, it's glory and beauty belong to our world...but then it flies again,
and though we wished it could have stayed, we feel lucky to have seen it.

Black Swallowtail
Number three, emerged and released on July 24, 2019.

ps added at 12 noon...two more butterflies emerged today and I just released them.
They did not want to pose for pictures, so you will have to take my word for it.
We came indoors and another emerged, we are waiting for it's wings to dry.
What an exciting day!

Yarn Along

Knitting?? 

what is that and why have I been doing so little?

It's summer and having fun has taken priority...

and all things considered, I have all things in perspective.

I really love to knit but I have been quite busy lately.

We have done a lot of swimming here and we have attended so many special parties.

So here's what came off my needles...

The Neapolitan Cowl I was working on when I last posted, it is the third one I have finished.
And as I have said before, 
these will make really nice Christmas gifts for my nieces this year...
I have a lot of nieces.

Just the other day, I started another and it matches my knitting bag that I adore so much.

This is good summer knit...

A super easy pattern, and it is small to work on during the heat.
Which matters not because I am always in air conditioning when I knit,
but, I thought it sounded good!

So, are you guys busy knitting, crafting, painting, or sewing?
What's your guilty crafting pleasure?
