Sprung

Is the first of September, and that means Spring is Sprung.

September is quite a busy month, it seems. It includes:





1. Panic stations

I'm not built for running. But last year I did a fun(d) run. This year's is in exactly 40 days. It's less scary this year because I know I can do it but lordy, do I need to step up the activity so I don't die on the day. So this is the major project for the next 6 weeks. I'd rather chisel off my kneecaps. Ugh.


2. Frock up

SewRetro is running a Mad Men competition in September - ya gots to make a frock in the style of one of the Mad Men ladies. I came third a few months ago in a vintage frock competition with a stylin' Joan-inspired number. The prizes only went to first and second. This time, VICTORY WILL BE MINE.


3. Party on

Need to make a fuss of my lovely Ma on her birthday. I've been gathering nifty gifties for a few months. I think they are worthy of her. See ya soon, Ma.


4. Sow Retro

My tomato seeds are coming up. This weekend is blocked out for New Garden Bed Construction. I have a water tank. THIS GROWING SEASON IS LOOKING PHENOMENAL and lo, it all starts in Spring.


Whatchoo all doin' this September?

The Sew Retro contest is going to be decided by a random number drawing, I gather. Bit disappointing! Not really in the Joan Holloway manner of doing things. But I'm looking forward to hopefully seeing some good dressmaking just the same.

Writing group assignments and trying not to kill my group members. *sigh*
