What I've been up to

Posted on 17:43 by simmo
Sewing.  A blue blouse with ruffles.

A doll dress that frustrates me...will it ever resemble the inspiration?

A blue skirt for my sister.

Writing.  My quasi-steampunk novel. 

Photo-taking.  God's beautiful Creation.

I have a partiality for macro.  Maybe because I'm nearsighted...

Listening.  Owl City.  Plácido Domingo.  Ludovico Einaudi.  Jackie Evancho.  Not all at once.

Drawing.  Nothing.  I do have a sketch of Sherlock to finish, though.

Reading.  Blog posts.  Hawthorne, Twice-Told Tales.  Conrad, splendid as always.  Avoiding Beowulf.

Piano pounding.  Pretending to play Mozart.

Watching.  Lark Rise to Candleford 3 & 4.  Wives and Daughters.  Original Star Trek (new to me).  Muchly amused.

Thinking.  That Pacific Northwest summers are lovely.  No matter what people say.
