Without a fraction of a doubt, September is my favourite month.  For me, it has always felt like a month to begin things...school, new projects, even a new year of my own life (my birthday is later this month). Its funny how I feel so effected by the change into September...I want to clean. I want to knit. I want to make big stews in my enormous soup pan and bake things with apples and cinnamon. I can feel the pull towards distractability and looking around the looming deadline to see what is next. 

In some ways, this September is bittersweet.  I will hand in my manuscript at the end of the month and I am already very sad about it. Writing this book has been the single most professionally fufilling thing I have ever done.  I love what I have designed. I love the process of designing.  I love working with the wonderful people who are helping me along the way.  I can not wait to show you all what I have been dreaming then making into reality. 

But for now, I have to wait.  There is more work to do, here where I am. Plans are forming for Life AB (after book)...Capturing Childhood, the etsy shop reopening, some photography work...but for now I have to keep my head down and focus not on the beginnings, but on the harvest. 

Back Soon.
