Wow I seriously can't believe it is July already! July is my favorite month, my birthday month; and yes I like to drag out the birthday celebrating for a whole month, it's more fun that way!
Even though is has been hot for a good long while, I feel like summer is just getting underway, and there is lots to do! Next week I start my new job at a salon, I'm nervous and excited to start something new. So far I have met some really cool people that work there, and gotten a new do.
In the meantime I have had time to spend with this little guy, he's recovering from surgery.
While he was at the vet, the doctor called to let me know surgery went fine, but there was a "miss communication" and someone prepped him to get spayed and shaved him, not realizing he is a boy and needed to get neutered. I really don't know how they missed his ... well.. his parts. I mean they are right there, we had a good laugh about it, poor little guy is all exposed now.
July is also moving month, we are heading down the road to our loft apartment at the end of the month. I am super excited, and still have loooots of packing to do, but instead I have been picking paint colors, combing Craiglist for sweet furniture deals (I really want an old hoosier cabinet!), and staring at my favorite book (you know, the Ikea catalog).
One last thing... I am loving this album...
Hope ya'll are having a great summer so far!
XOXO
So we went to see fireworks, then came home and put a cape on the cat and he flew around the room for a bit. Next year we need to plan ahead better, to prevent this sort of boredom.

This past weekend these special little dolls went with a special friend of mine to an arts festival in Portland, ME. You'll have to excuse the photo, I snapped it really quick the night I finished them up, then it was into a box and off to Maine!
+ Sublime Stitching at the Indie Craft Fair! I've never embroidered before, but I snagged a few kits here and am in love! The embroidery pictured above is from The Black Apple pattern.
+ The sewing table has accumulated a good layer of started projects, summer dresses, tote bags, a quilt, and a whole bunch of fabric napkins.
+ I have lots of fun little things to add to my etsy shop. This may or may not get done this weekend.
This summer I am hoping to make myself a bunch of clothes, sundresses, tops, and skirts. I have a stack of fabric and patterns, mostly Built by Wendy ones which are very lovely and simple to understand and construct. The one above is my first try of the summer, I am making it out of one of my thrifted bedsheets. A good practice run, I can get back into the swing of sewing clothes and if I mess up too bad I won't ruin any too important fabric.
