This is the Bastille Day Beret I made for mom. The band features the French Flag, while the top of the hat contains the colors of the flag and small fleur de lis symbols.

The Vive La France beret is finished and will be sent to mom, she can either give it to Berthe or the alliance to raffle off for scholarship $. It did not turn out quite as I had planned as I wanted to put Eiffel towers on the top but I grew frustrated with bad graphs and abandoned the idea. Graph patterns adapted from 45 Fine and Fancy Hats to Knit by Anna Jillborg. (think I spelled that right).

Working on a neutral colored cropped cardigan for myself. Reminding myself once again that I am not fond of cotton yarn.

The menus from www.e-mealz.com are working out pretty well. I've actually been cooking about 4 days a week, but school will start soon and we'll see if I can keep it up. My plan is to spend part of Sundays cooking several meals at once, which will be fun to do and nutricious. The e-mealz tend to be high on sodium, but I'm learning to do some adapting.
