lillilahIt looks like we are heading for temperatures in the 70s and less rain finally. * crosses fingers * I'm so glad.
I was able to buy a couple yards of new fabric on Saturday, and I'm considering trying to swing by the other big fabric store next week to pick up a couple more bits. We'll see. I was able to get some sewing done today, so I will hopefully be able to get two more shirts (one for sleeping and one for daytime) done tomorrow. It is so nice to make progress on that.
In other news, Out of Africa (the book) is definitely less awesome than West with the Night. They both cover a similar period in what is now Kenya, and the authors knew each other. Out of Africa has more sweeping statements about what is true, is more religious, and is more disorganized. I think I can get through it, but I'm not relishing it (Although I was amused at the part where the author says that Europeans are incapable of listening to a story. They will fidget or ask for a book. Only the Africans can sit and listen.).
