Did I mention I’m deaf in my left ear? I had surgery back in Sept to remove a non-cancerous brain tumour. The hearing loss was unavoidable, but my uninvited guest is gone, so it’s a win. Anyway, here’s a nice photo of my #AmelieBlousePattern and my hair finally starting to cover my scar. #sewsky

Weird quilted vest almost complete. Does it need ties at the front? Also I was watching the Big Blue ep of X-Files and the life jackets Mulder and Scully were wearing are not dissimilar. Idk where my mind was going with this one, but it was fun to make. #sewsky
