Yesterday it was almost like Pounce was a kitten again. All he wanted to do all day was plop down in someone’s lap (which meant mine since I was the one home) and cuddle. It meant I didn’t get as much done as I wanted (although I did still get stuff done), but it was worth it. It used to be that you could not sit on the floor or sit down hardly anywhere without him crawling up and sitting on you. He doesn’t do that much anymore, but yesterday when I would sit down he would come find me and sit on my lap.

When Pounce and Axel haven’t been taking up my attention, I have been getting stuff done so that when school starts I won’t have too much to do. I got my coveralls and boots yesterday and tried them on. They fit! Well for the most part anyway, which is a good thing. The boots are really weird to walk in and almost feel too big, but I think that just might be because they are weird:) The coveralls are plenty roomy and should make it so that I can layer sweatshirt & such underneath so I don’t freeze in the winter outside. I would take a picture, but I think you should just believe me that I look pretty funny and a little out of my element in them.

Here is a pic of a top I made the other day. The bummer is that even though it turned out super cute hanging on a hanger, I don’t really like at all how it fits me.

I think though that I can probably make some adjustments to it and salvage it so that it does fit me better. Luckily it is too big, rather than too small. Besides purses/curtains/pillows (which all don’t really count since those things are easy to make without a pattern), it was the first thing I made without a pattern. I got some basic tutorial directions online that gave me the idea of how to make the top, but I actually didn’t even follow them that closely as I wanted my top to be a little different. If I can manage to salvage it, I may even make one or two similar tops (with totally different fabric of course) since it does make a pretty nice summery top.

It has been so hot lately that I don’t venture outside very often. However, when I do go out to my car or walk outside this is what I see.

It helps a little to block the neighbors yard and brighten up the parking area. I don’t know if someone purposely planted them (I would assume so), but they were there last year and grew back this year. Anyways I think they are very pretty flowers, and I wish I knew what they were called. It makes me look forward to hopefully having a yard someday, I think if I did I would definitely try to add some pretty stuff like this.

I cannot believe how quickly fall and school is approaching. While I am somewhat looking forward to school starting, I am not so looking forward to summer ending. It is by far my favorite season!
