Last Month

October has been productive! I know you can't tell, but I've actually been sewing quite a lot. Hopefully after this weekend I'll have some photos, but we'll see. Actual sewing is coming before blogging right now, as it should! I also knit Dandelion a little gray mouse that he found and pulled out of the laundry after I felted it. He knew it was his somehow : ) He's really our little darling. We hardly remember life before him!

Happy November!

Last month

September was the month of the kitten. Besides work, and there was a lot of that, I really didn't do anything but hang out with my cat. I've been really itching to sew, but then he gets in my lap to snuggle and that's that. I'm glad he's an affectionate cat, though, and I hope this isn't just a kitten phase!

Last month

Happy September! August was really about not feeling well and trying to get better, unfortunately. I did do some fun sewing though, with my vogue dress and gown, which coming along and will be finished in time! I'm really looking forward to September. I'm feeling better, and the endless fog is just beginning to lift. September and October are supposed to be SF's "summer," and I'm looking forward to it!

August ended on a very high note because we adopted a kitten yesterday!! He's an Abyssinian/Tabby mix, and is four months old. I think we're calling him Dandelion. How am I ever going to get that gown finished with this sweet kitten around??

Last Month

Everyone warned me that July in San Francisco can be gray and cold... and I must say that this particular July has been characterized by fog. Visitors and fog and opera camp.

Happy August! I have a feeling that August will be a month of new beginnings. A new school year, the new music season, the beginning, and ending, hopefully, of my gown-making adventures... 

This month

I disappeared there for a bit! I wish I could say I have exciting things in the works that have kept me from posting, but that's simply not true. Really, my other main hobby groups - music, plants, and long walks on the beach - have gotten in the way of dedicated sewing time. It seems as though I never have enough time for anything, but I love sewing, guitar, beaches, hiking, plants, making things, taking care of home, reading, and so on, almost all equally! Do you ever feel like you have too many hobbies and interests to really be effective at any of them?

Anyway, this is what my June looked like:

sunset from the neighborhood cliff | fireworks seen from the living room | my #1 time consumer
fog rolling in | future projects! | gray beach evening
embroidered flowers | a very happy jade plant | my sewing corner

Even though I sometimes feel like I'm spread too thin, I'm so happy with all the little activities that make up my life. Seeing these images all together makes me feel rather accomplished, even if I don't really have anything to show for the last month.
