Harvard and Outfits in reverse chronological order

First- ridiculously curly hair...

Registration day outfit!

 Room pics...My little desk art studio

No, I did not squeeze paint onto this ledge- this is dried paint from when i was cleaning my pallette earlier!

Beautiful Lowell House.

 You can just see the belltower from my window.

Sketchy shower...

The necessary bootscraper.

Brollies!

I decided to use up the possibly my-favorite-in-the-whole-world fabric to make a tank top.

It looked lovely against the window.

The tuck I made at the neckline.

Lastly a look at my progress on what will be a very long project. See this post near the end to view previous steps. This piece is 1/4 of the total pattern pieces (1/2 of the back of this simple top) but I was able to begin to cut out the reverse applique, and I love how it looks as well as the texture. Maybe the badly focused picture beneath will give you some idea....maybe :)

 Inside grandmother's...

New York wanderings. A church which turned out to be Episcopal (no little confusion as it appeared to be a Catholic Church.)

A market, one of the countless in NYC.

Central Park!

A good trip!
