pretty
Lettering--I used to love to do caligraphy and beautiful writing but I haven't for years. I got a new nib a week ago and started playing with it yesterday. I want to work bigger and I think this is a good way, because I usually use Pilot pens with teeny (.02) nibs. Also I love the variation that a nib pen gives. This is walnut ink.
I'd been wanting a hoodie made of lightweight cotton jersey for a while. I have a wool one, but it's too heavy to wear in the recent 90-degree heat. This one is faced in orange and the hood's lined in another jersey that's got weird cats, garden implements, and chairs printed on it. It looks like a Japanese import. Feels good to make things for me!

That's all. That's all, that's all. I have to turn in my new ms. to Milkweed on Friday. I think it will be okay.

Yes it is importent to make something for one self once in awhile... looks like it fits you perfect...
Brilliant! I've been looking for a hoodie just like that! Did you follow a pattern or did you make it up as you go?
There's a shop window near my work filled with walnut-ink calligraphy samples. The colors really make my heart thrum!
Re: ms: Stub a toe :)

flanthrower: it's my own pattern, sorry!
Completely off topic, but your hair looks great that length in the pic.
Enjoy what's left of the summer! :)
