Minions in the Sun

It has been hot hot hot here lately and very humid.  I've made no secret of the fact that I am a colder-weather person but I will admit that it's fun to watch the minions play outside in the Summer sun.

For any of you out in Portland or in Chicago that are coming out to visit in August, I wanted to make sure you knew that you were going to have to step up and bring your A-Game (or stay away from the area completely if you expect to stay dry) because water battles/espionage/sabotage is taken very seriously 'round these parts....

What I do like about Summer though, is the energy and the vibrancy.  Winters are so bleh sometimes, but the action/colors found in the Summer... it's a thing to behold.

This brings me to an idea I had for the Shop.  I am still ironing out the details, but my thought was to dye up a set of colorways inspired by some of the photos I have taken over the years encompassing the Seasons of the Midwest.  I don't know that it will be a Club per se, but perhaps a limited quantity sort of arrangement.  I was also thinking about using some lace weight yarns as well as some silk.  If you have any input or ideas that you would like to share, please leave me a comment.  Otherwise, stay tuned for more info on those colorways!
