I'm dying to write up a post and a pattern review for Butterick 5455, which I spent most of my 4th-of-July vacation sewing. It took me quite a while, but I think I did a careful, high-quality job, and I'm pleased with the results. And after a few hours of frantic finishing on Sunday, I was able to wear it to a party that night, held at a friend's posh lake-front "cabin." It was perfect! I promise I'll have pictures and a full write-up as soon as I can. In the meantime, you'll have to satisfy yourselves with a brief recap of some of the (mostly) fun things I've been doing these days instead of blogging:
- Planning a trip to northern Michigan for our anniversary in August
- Making strawberry jam
- Finishing a dissertation chapter
- Meeting the cows who make our milk at a small-scale family-owned local dairy
- Submitting an article for review (cross your fingers for me!)
- Running my first ever half-marathon and beating my pace goal
- Watching fireworks on a catamaran on Devil's Lake
