Aux Champs-Elysées

 

Whew...what a three week ride it's been and what a morning. I got up at 6 to watch the France women's team play Jamaica then watched the first stage of the Tour de France Femmes and then the last stage of the men's. I've got way too much to show for the past three weeks. I'm supposed to be depleting my handspun stash and now look what I get to add to it. 

I wish I could work as quickly on my spindle projects because this is their THIRD YEAR with the same fiber and I'm sick of them. I am going to try to continue watching the TdF Femmes but I will ONLY be using the spindles during the remaining 7 stages. The Barbie BFL on the Ladybug will have to wait.  I'm in no hurry to finish it. 

The big loser is the Garter Squish. Who knew we would have the hottest temps in the recorded history of the planet this month? Honestly, it's not been that terribly hotter than normal here but hearing about it all day makes it seem so. 

I'm usually totally bummed on the Monday after the Tour but this year I have the Ladies World Cup to give me an excuse to ignore any and all housework and play with my toys. It's going to be the Summer of Soccer Socks around here starting tomorrow. I'll tell you about it later.
