some many WIP, nothing finished!

Wow, summer is going by fast, July is already over!
I have been working a few projects, nothing is actually finished.... maybe a little of attention deficit , or too many things to do!
Either way here are 2 pics of almost finished sewing projects:

A sweet embroidery from les brodeuses parisiennes

and a nerdy scientific tote.

We also started a huge home project: the basement! We are in the middle of tiring it down to the cinderblocks and concrete slab, we took advantage that the kids were in France visiting my parents to do a lot of dirty work, not fun! Of course Miss C. and Brick Master had a grand time: food, castle and grand parents, does it get any better?!

For the basement, I hope to be done around Christmas, it sounds like a reasonable timeline, no One Room Challenge here!
Enjoy your summer!
