I'm still here

I'd like to tell you that I haven't been around because I've been too busy having exciting adventures, but that would be a lie.  Truth be told, I haven't updated because my life has been too dull to  report on.  School was far busier than I would have liked, and the summer has mostly been recovery time.

There have been a few note-worthy things though.  I visited a good friend who lives far too far away.  I'm getting back into knitting and cooking, and I've been making serious efforts to make the tiny basement apartment I live in feel more like a home.

Here's just a little bit of what I've been up to:

Saartje's Booties for a friend's baby-on-the-way.

A crumble made with wild Himalayan blackberries that a friend and I picked.

My far-to-far-away friend Kaitlin and me.

Good night, internet.  I promise I'll be back real soon.
