The annual community festival is good clean fun, despite the drizzle of rain. Feels like summer ended with a pop. #eatplaylivecle #endofsummer #bubbles #giantbubbles #thebubbleguy #happyincle #unpluggedfun #capturedmoments #momswithcamera

Joann Fabrics and Amber Making It on Public Square

Have you ever heard of finger knitting?

So, I have but not in the expected I-worked-at-a-craft-store-in-high-school kind of way.

I knew it was a thing because - my dad was a sailor and he made a lot of knots. In turn, he figured out how to crochet without a hook. I'm guessing boredom on a ship would do that to a guy in WWII. He showed my brother and me when we were kids, but I could barely crochet with a needle. Maybe that's why he tried to show me. Connecting in a way that he was comfortable doing.

Crocheting wasn't my thing, but maybe finger knitting could be my thing?



So, I dragged the kids through downtown Cleveland on an overcast day to go to the world’s largest finger knitting event! Why would I do this when I never even considered finger knitting? 

Have You Read These, Yet? Vol. 6

I hit my reading goal for the year! 24 books, four months ahead of schedule! 

And, then it felt like I just couldn't read anymore! For about a month and now I am trying to catch up with my Book of the Month books and book club book.

In the meantime, here are the last three books I read and my thoughts via Instagram.

I enjoyed The Alice Network and Summer Wives more than Smart Women. I am not a fan of the 80's so I'm not surprised that I liked the other two books. Smart Women was a fun, quick read, but I probably would have never read it if it wasn't for my monthly book club.
