Marchness

 
 

March, in a nutshell:

  • I sewed the Tova dress from Wiksten, using a print from my Cozy Up fabric line. This was my third time sewing this dress - it’s a great everyday garment and a thorough, well-written pattern. The shawl is this free pattern on Ravelry.com and the book matched it all (and let’s be honest, is hiding a less-than-stellar bang trim).

  • I gave up donuts for Lent (womp, womp). But, St. Joseph’s Day was Saturday, which meant a break for zeppole, so off to Enzo Benzo donuts. If you’re in southern Maine or seacoast New Hampshire, run, don’t walk in the direction of these delights.

  • This Flannery O’Connor documentary is stupendous - I saw it last year and just noticed it’s popped up for viewing on Amazon. This one’s worth it alone for the illustrated A Good Man is Hard to Find segment.

  • I’m going full-tilt on sketches for a new installment in the Anne of Green Gables series and finishing endpapers for Mouseboat at the moment. And I’m giving myself a deadline of June to hammer out a picture book dummy outline. Send coffee. And donuts, but after Easter.
