Daydreaming an outfit for a Ren Faire this Fall which I have dubbed "Hobbit Butch." Playing closer to Victorian than Renaissance but still something fun and playfully period to go out with friends in, and all the pieces are stuff I'll be able to reuse with other outfits. Warm earthtones and layers and floral motifs. The only bit I'm getting really customized instead of foraged from hither and thither is a waistcoat, but it's gonna *rock.* And I'm hoping to have a haircut close to go-time so I can be at my current ideal length and style -- boy-short in back with shaggy, wavy bangs.

I love feeling my kitty in my lap. Like. This is a whole entire Creature. She's so little. I can feel the tremble in her back when she arches mid-stretch. I can feel her paws kicking in her dreams.
Fresh potato bread in the house!!
I keep having people at church giving me random art supplies because they've seen my art and figure I could use them? It's neat. But anyway, one of the recent acquisitions was a five-pack of heavy-duty pastel board and a small pack of chalks. I'm next to useless with chalks but I did used to love oil pastels, and fell out of the habit of using them. This gives me a good excuse to pull some out again. I think I feel a flying horse coming on...
Basking in the book pile tonight. ^_^ Got *Scarlet Morning,* some Mary Oliver poetry, and a gamer comic called *Crystal Heart* well underway, just finished a children's book with Deliciously Detailed naturalistic illustrations, and got a bunch of other stuff on the back burner...
Making up a big batch of spaghetti--there's only two of us but we find leftovers useful--and impulse-splurged on a fun seasonal flavor of cheesecake from a nearby restaurant for dessert. It's been a slow day but this is one bit of it I'm really enjoying. Here's hoping for a happy eldest sis.
