I wound up taking a bit of an unplanned break from the internet over the summer which has lasted until nowish, and I've gotten a wee bit behind in my blogging (and blog-reading, in case you've been missing my scintillating comments). However, it's officially autumn now* which means, for me, anyway, a bit of a new start. Of course, the beginning of school means I don't actually have time to catch up on my blog, but I'm going to make a concerted effort. Really. Expect several timey-wimey posts in the future. Or past.
Anyway, I've been Tweed Riding and Dining in White and OWOPing, and I'm still Sewing for a Change and making pancakes, and I will post that stuff this week, but I want to tell you about some new challenges that are coming up (or currently happening).
MG at Chasing Mailboxes has issued the fourth annual Coffeeneuring Challenge: 7 weeks, 7 different coffee shops. I didn't finish last year because I got derailed by sickness, but I'm determined to succeed this year.
As in previous years, I'm going to visit new-to-me cafes in different parts of the city.
I've been spectacularly bad about participating in sewing challenges these past few months. And by spectacularly bad I mean sometimes I finished items but didn't take pictures in time, but mostly I just didn't get things sewn. But All Style and All Substance's Anti-UFO Challenge is something I need to take part in. Three words: Wall of Shame.
I have a few items that are cut and ready to be sewn, but I'm not going to start any of those until I have finished all the bits and bobs currently waiting for me. Most of them are things needing buttons and so forth, but significantly this means I will finish poor Steg and the Spring Steppes sweater that has been a year and a half in the making.
No, really. Look at the determined look on my face.
*Technically, summer doesn't officially end until this evening, but I'm calling it anyway.

Glad you are back blogging. :) You've been missed!
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks. I've got a record number of partially-composed posts; one of these days I'll finish them and inundate your feeds.
