Summertime in the City

Crissy Field, San Francisco

(my backyard)

What has everyone been up to this summer?  

I have to admit that I haven't sewn a stitch or handled any fabric for that matter in a week and it feels strange.  We took a mini-vacation over the holiday weekend in Carmel and Santa Cruz and aside for the usual grind of commute, work, child wrangling and managing a household, we've been slowly getting my daughter's new bedroom in order.  I've also been reading a very intense and hefty new Vampire novel called The Passage by Justin Cronin.  I'm at around page 600 and still have a ways to go.
