Here we are, with a few minutes less daylight each day. To be honest, when we get to fall, I am eager for dark to arrive earlier and earlier; I am tired of the outside work and ready to have a longer evening inside.
I made a pillowcase this week. This year, I’ve decided pillowcases for the littler nieces and nephews and aprons for the older will be our gifts.

I asked my daughter how long my current stash would last me if I purchased nothing new. I was pondering Bonnie Hunter’s comments about her own too-large stash and how it will be hard to use it up in her sewing lifetime. My goal has always been to have a modest but working stash. It’s definitely expanded over the years as our income has grown, but I think it’s still exhaustible. The Assistant thinks 2, maybe 3 years; I suspect more like five. I wonder if I have the discipline not to buy fabric for a year or two and see what happens. Hmm...
I was able to settle with my handwork 6 of 7 days this week. BJ is hard to get to sleep and hard to keep asleep at night, so my preferred window of time hasn’t worked as well. Still 261/273 days for the year isn’t bad.
