A Last Minute Vacation

My last minute vacation came about literally at the last minute, although I had to wait about two weeks getting where I am right now: my sister's apartment, specifically her couch. I am about 4 hours from my house, in a city, quite a difference from the country and the 20 minute, 30 minute, or hour long drives I have to make to get anywhere. I adore the city. Fabric stores, health food stores, yoga classes, art and history museums, book stores, malls and my sister, with whom I haven't spent more than a weeks worth of time with since she scuttled off to college 4 years ago.  Primarily we've done craft projects, some painting, vegan cooking and eating, quick drives to Walmart ( I always forget chocolate when we grocery shop) and episode upon episode of Charmed and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. You might say we're having too much fun and we'd have to agree with you.

I've some new store items of the sewn variety that I'm trying to put together, but alas, now I forget thread every time I step foot in Walmart. In my last topic I posted about a reversible skirt in the making and I'm proud to say it's finished. My vacation was the impetus I needed to get it done because I simply couldn't leave home without a newly sewn garment. I've only worn it once, however, in the car ride down here. Go figure. Photos of my skirt and store items will be coming soon, so stay tuned.

Have a terrific weekday!
