What a melancholy day. It's horribly hot and humid, and I'm just now getting over my sulking about the cancelled Newfoundland trip. I really am thankful the tour group had the foresight to cancel the tour - Sunday was when Dorian hit Newfoundland with rain, winds, and downed electricity. But still...changing gears is hard. And it's nice to have this new-found time.

Once I sent the big batch of purses and notes off to Sew Powerful, I needed to celebrate by doing a project "just because." This backpack is a pattern by Swoon. I've never had a backpack in my life, but this pattern just looked fun.
It turned out so cute that I made my sister-in-law a backpack, too. But I had to finish them before turning the studio into a guest room for her Labor Day visit.

Closing down the studio in preparation for guests really broke my rhythm and impetus. The best outcome so far of the trip cancellation is that there is now room to breathe on the calendar. So nice. -
But here it is - 9/11. Jon Best stopped by for our annual visit - we were on our way to school and listening to the radio. There are a whole generation coming up who don't know the impact of 9/11. So glad to have backpack patterns.
