Just wanted to pop in with a few snippets of semi-recent life... I have been a bit lost in a fuzzy insomnia-induced twilight, but today I am feeling slightly human again. Insomnia is so maddening, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy! I will mostly let the photos do the talking for me, as I am still... so... sleepy...

Pink Bunny, one of the first stuffed toys I ever made... Perhaps a bit of a self-portrait in felt.

My little Piddler on the Roof... (He piddles when he gets excited, which is pretty much all the time.)

My sweet baby kitty Junebug, who is never bad...

Cherries (they always, always make me think of my grandmother)...

I tend to drink tea for two all by myself, but I would share with you!

Mr. Cicada, my new friend... (Andy is hovering over my shoulder, begging me to call him "John Cicada.")


Sweet little yellow polka-dotted glass(es) I found at Ikea recently...

Amazing customized gift-wrap,from my BFF... (Sometimes very belated birthday gifts are the best!)

Pink polka-dotted straws and a heart-shaped tea infuser... and the most delicious chocolate ever!

Recently-discovered Car of My Dreams, the Nissan Figaro. Go ahead, look it up.

My echinacea, just before it started dying...


Lantana...

Portulaca (moss rose)...


Purple coreopsis... ( I also have yellow. Or did, rather... before the extra-intense summer heat became too much for almost everything in my garden.)

Vintage doll I found at the flea market a while back...

Beautiful spool of ribbon, a birthday gift from my aunt back in May... (Something tells me I am going to hoard this!)

And... a new bear pouch in the shop!

I'm considering crawling into bed early tonight... say around 7 p.m. Is 6:30 pushing it? I'm not ashamed to be geriatric.
Hope everyone is having a lovely & sleep-filled week!
