On the other hand, I'm almost totally up to date with Project Life - okay, so there's some journalling to do here and there, but in general, I'm up to date. (So up to date that I actually did last week's spread on Sunday, when the week hadn't even finished yet.)
But here's some news and photos from around the place.
Cats
It was our Bion's first birthday yesterday - he is officially no longer a kitten! I love this photo of him, even though it's a few months old.
The Garden
OMG the garden! Beans are sprouting, the zuchinni has the beginnings of flowers, the snow peas are growing like crazy, and even the cucumber has finally woken up.
These photos were taken a week ago: the lettuce has grown *lots* since then. We're able to make a salad every night now, I'd say. And the perpetual basil is almost enough for a pesto.
Craft
I'm working on a purple and black skull slouch hat for M for Halloween. She found the pattern and asked if I thought I could make it: it looked a little complicated, but it's turned out to be mostly straightfoward, and I'm really enjoying it. It's actually much further along than this photo would suggest: I'm onto the fourth row of skulls and the first decrease. It's a fascinating pattern because it begins at the brim and works up to the crown, where most hats I've seen work the other way.
And on Sunday I got out the sewing machine and started working on some Halloween bunting. I'm planning a blog post on the bunting itself, but I'm now away until the 25th of October, which won't leave me much time to get it done (the bunting, not the post) before Halloween. There are many more flags than I had kind of thought - which was my fault for the choices I made - but still.
Meanwhile - I'm at a work conference this week down in Melbourne. I'm hoping to finish the hat and a bunch of poppies this week, as well as start working up some blogposts for the future.
