Here is my environmental self portrait for the Self Portrait Challenge this week.
In this picture I am at my son's middle school graduation this past Thursday. Now he is a high schooler, gasp!
Trying very hard not to well up with proud tears, or fearful tears, or happy tears, or any tears whatsoever. Not so successful at that. Oh well, I cried at kindergarten graduation too. If I'm not crying, I'm not feeling I suppose.
Anyways, feeling safe, secure and very happy in my element as supportive mother, proud parent, member of the school community and so on. And a sunburned gardener too, if you check out my neck and shoulder.
Meanwhile, back at the local thrift store, I got a hat pattern, for
*12*
*Terrific*
*Hats*!!
Or chapeaux sensass. Sensass? Is that really French for Terrific? I'm thinking that means something else, isn't formidable or terrible a better translation? I never took French, so I do not know!
And a book I've been looking for: Upholstering At Home. Yay, now perhaps the chairs will get redone with somewhat more expertise than my usual staple gun assisted upholstering method!...

Hey Julie! You can practice your upholstery skills on my scratchy-chic chair! And when I get my hair cut later this month, you can try out your hat skills on my head! I've been thinking I'd like to start wearing hats, even though I look very funny in them. But who knows, perhaps with a Chapeau de Julie I would look tres sensass!
