A summary of summer

June: three rivers, family reunion





July: feathers, picnic, crashing chandeliers, vacation


















August: Madison, robots, gills












Who knows what the next months are gonna bring (I wish I did, though)…

Getting around

To knitting (FINALLYYYYY)



And art


And reading (for myself, at last)

To review his life, was like descending a green tree in fruit and flower, and seeing all the branches wither and drop off one by one, as he came down towards them.
'From the unhappy suppression of my youngest days, through the rigid and unloving home that followed them, through my departure, my long exile, my return, my mother's welcome, my intercourse with her since, down to the afternoon of this day with poor Flora,' said Arthur Clennam, 'what have I found!'
His door was softly opened, and these spoken words startled him, and came as if they were an answer,
'Little Dorrit.'

-Charles Dickins, Little Dorrit

And a new layout! Woo! Hopefully new buttons will follow soon enough.

Summer's nearly over. Sheesh, it went fast. Pretty soon it'll be chilly and wet and I'll need to wear scarves and hats.
…Hopefully not that soon, though ;)

I'll have to crack down on holiday knitting as well. Or at least, knit things for myself to wear in the holiday season, haha.

I want to make more socks. Hmm.

Yadda yadda yadda

These days I have no motivation.

At all.

Really.

*headdesk*

I'll get around to real posts soon enough. I just need to work up to it.

Last summer I managed to write stories on a deadline. This year?

…

I need to get myself together.

FO: Trekking Shoes

A different sort of project: Molly bought the shoes, I made them pretty ;D

ACTUAL HONEST-TO-GOD KNITTING CONTENT IN MY NEXT POST, I SWEAR.

Art camp!

Watch me improve right before your very eyes. I still hate charcoal though.

Most of it is too big to fit in the scanner, so I apologize for the terrible lighting.

Regina Spektor~"Fidelity" from Begin to Hope. This song is so addicting. Play count is at 11 already 8|

This post is brought to you by summer and boredom. Next up is a discussion of art and the trials of lace, to please all you creative types. We're also overdue for some books, aren't we?

My current state of mind: presented in comic form

I have art classes galore scheduled for this summer. It's a good thing pencil stains come out easily (not so much for lead poisoning though
:P ).

Trading names

Been sick lately. Unfortunately, I don't have much creative content for you this time around (again), so we're going to do something else.

These are my friends:

Related by Delusion~drawn to photography and yarn, averse to pink. Home of an awesome blog title (she was so picky about it) :D

Thick Woolen Socks~the literary, the fangirly, and the knitty. Home of the best profile picture ever (art by guess who?) :D


Go check them out!

(The bad news is, now people in real life can find me on the web. Crap…?)
