Do something pretty while you can

I had this big post that I’ve been writing in my head all summer and it seems that now that I’ve gotten around to posting it, I’m over it. But basically the gist is that I need to remember that I am large and contain multitudes and need to yawp once in a while. Furthermore, I don’t have to have myself figured out just yet. Seriously. Most of this is due to an extremely oppressive sense of claustrophobia here when I feel like all I can or should do in Atlanta is philosophy. And that, my friends, is just plain false. Also false is that these things can only be done in the summer. So! Going into this school year I’m determined to keep doing something pretty while I can. I have a good sense that my sewing projects will get ignored since my desk is now in use for reading and writing and not sewing. But I can still do lots of baking (even if this latest attempt at sourdough was a total flop, literally) and I’ve taken great delight recently in preparing meals for my friends. This means, too, that I’ll hold myself a little more accountable with this blog business.


For now, though, some pictures of what I’ve been up to this summer. More to come, I promise. And I mean it this time.
