Oops, has it been a month already?

Don't know where the time has gone. (Actually, I do. I frittered it away playing useless games on the computer and watching old movies on the classic movie channel).
Shaving cream update: we did do the marbling on shaving cream. The results are nowhere as precise as with conventional marbling (or we're doing it wrong) but we had a great time and I turned my samples into my piece for the FibreArts Toronto monthly challenge. The theme was "bridges" and I admit it was a stretch to turn random squares of fabric marbled/dyed in blue/green/yellow on a white background to something representing "bridges" but there you have it. If I say it's bridges, it's bridges. Both the style and colours are a stretch for me, not at all like my previous work.
Menachem is going to Israel in less than two weeks. It is not a planned visit. The last time he went unexpectedly was in February when his uncle died. This time, l'havdil, it's to celebrate his brother's 70th birthday and Amit's 1st. I just couldn't stand the thought of Amit celebrating without at least one of his grandparents there and since I can't get away from work just now, Menachem is going.
So I'm working feverishly (well not feverishly, but steadily) on a few things which Menachem will take with him. I made Amit a framed name sign for the wall in his room. And I'm in the midst of making fabric produce bags for Inbal and Rotem. I hope to finish a fabric activity book for Amit.
So I'll be busy for the next little while.
