Well, the graduation open house is behind me, the wedding of my oldest is still 3 months away and baseball season is in high gear. 
I just completed a batch of purple (fuchsia to turquoise) gradations.  Six regular and six with black for a bit of shade.  I have a batch of orange (fuchsia to lemon yellow) gradations waiting to be rinsed and set.  Eight regular and eight muddied up with black for shade.  I ran out of Glauber's Salt but, when that comes I'll do the green scale, as well.  (Glauber's salt is better than regular salt when using turquiose.) 
As long as I had to order the salt, I went ahead and ordered a frame for fabric painting.  I like the one I made, but the one I ordered is bigger and adjustable.  I also ordered some supplies to try my hand at silk painting.  Cotton is okay --- but colors are more vibrant on silk.  I look forward to experimenting with silk painting.  I'll post results when I've tried it. 
I'm at the binding stage of a wall quilt I made yesterday.  When I'm done I'll post it.  It's not much.  Just a little something to brighten up the wall in the laundry room/garage entry.  It's the first wall quilt that I embellished using the clay buttons that I made.  (They make nice centers for the rag flowers.)
