Less than four weeks to go to finish this semester, and that's including the 5 day Thanksgiving break that we have (Wed.-Sun.). We are now going over the last segment of material in classes for our final exams, we're practicing for our orchestra concerts that will be next weeks, and feverishly working our fingers and brains to memorize and play our piece in the violin recital at the very end of this month. I also have to memorize a prelude-something-or-another for piano.
My love for music has intensified this semester, and probably because I'm learning and understanding so much. I'm already anticipating next semester.
But to honestly confess, I've been itching to sit in front of the sewing machine and make that needle fly. That's such a good feeling, is it not? :) There are so many new ideas mulling around, thanks to my frequent visits (read: visits, not purchases) at Anthropologie. I go in there most of the time to try on stuff, and capture mental images on how to recreate it. Just the other day I tried on a skirt, and absolutely adored it. I sent the link to my mother as a hint for a Christmas idea, and she writes back, "Couldn't you just make it?" ;)
For the month that I'm home over Christmas, I think I shall devote one hour to sewing everyday. The time will most likely and naturally extend itself, but that's okay, too.
Until then, happy November days to you all of crunching on random leaves, tea drinking, reading for pleasure, shopping, and other things you might enjoy doing. And yes, I've been able to manage to find time to do all of those things, too, plus some. :)

Funny you should post this today! As I sewed I thought of you and prayed again for you. I so look forward to seeing you when you are home. Love and prayers to you. m.
I'm happy for you that the semester will soon be wrapping up for you and things are going well. Then you can SEW!:) I wanna sew too, maybe after Jan when tax school ends for me.
I couldn't find your e-mail so I decided to post the link here. I came across this giveaway for tatting supplies and immediately of you. It closes Sunday, November 19th at midnight, MST.
Good luck!

I love looking but not buying at Anthropologie as well, and I had to laugh when you shared your mom's response! Music has been filling my time lately, too, so I can relate...piano recital, student's Christmas program, orchestra Christmas concert, orchestra winter classical concert, church music...aren't we blessed to be able to play so much fabulous music?
