Wow I can't believe we're about to start the last quarter of the year. Where does time go? Still a very busy month but I have taken some time to sew this month and I'm happy I did! I finally finished one Dear Jane block: F8 and I made 3 Modern City Scape blocks, 2 more to go for this one... I have also attended a class to make black forest gateau which was great and the result wes really yummy! And I also tried my hand at Ikebana with my first ever floral arrangement.  Finally I decided I needed to replace my trusted neoprene coat and that ideally I needed it before my next business trip that started today... so yes it is wearable, but doesn't have the hood yet, hems for the lining are not done and the button is not attached yet...
