Knitting lately
I can't stop knitting these days. The weather has finally begun to cool, which makes knitting with wool so much more enjoyable. No more sweaty hands! I just finished my Sibella Pullover last week. I was able to take a few photos during the process but will need to take one of the finished pullover. I am really happy with the outcome. Lovely yarn and well written pattern.

October
My goodness it's been a while. I've been quite busy lately. These past few weekends I was out of town. A few weeks ago I spent some time working/enjoying San Francisco and then a weekend serving with a great team in Mexico. Unfortunately I don't have any photos from my camera but I did manage to snap a few with my phone. Wish I was able to take more photos as I feel I don't use my camera nearly as much as I use to. I need to be a little more intentional with it.
I haven't been able to be as creative as I like to be. But I am taking a weekly weaving class and that has been fantastic. I'm learning so much. I can't wait to share what I am working on. It's a difficult craft but certainly enjoyable.
Looking forward to getting back into my sewing groove. It's been nearly a month since I last sat and sewed. Once things slow down around here I'm sure I'll be back to sewing 4-5 days a week as I continue to try and kick start my little business. I just purchased loads of fabric in San Francisco and I can hardly wait to start making up some new pieces with it. As for now I still have a few items listed at esthermarquis.com

ESTHER MARQUIS
Goodness, I have been quite busy. Lately I've been sewing up a storm getting fall pieces ready for the shop. I've sewed up quite a few designs and can hardly wait to photograph them all and post them in my shop. I'm currently selling here on etsy and on my site esthermarquis.com I plan on listing most of the items on esthermarquis.com but will continue to list a few items on etsy as well. Below is a preview of some of the fabrics and designs I am working with. I'm going to start selling my knitwear and crochet wear as well!

Coastal Scenes
Not quite sure how I continue to fail so terribly at this whole blogging thing. I have every intention of writing at least biweekly but it looks like thats just not happening. My free time continues to be spent on sewing and knitting. Happy to say that I am being productive but I'd really like to dedicate more of my time to doing a bit more documenting. For know I will share photos of a recent road trip I went on with my brother and sister. We took our time driving along the California Coast (Los Angeles to San Francisco) Dreamy scenes all along the way. Such a beautiful state I live in.

Shibori and Wild Blackberry Pie
Tried Shibori dyeing for the first time and had great success. A new friend so kindly invited me to join her while she experimented with a indigo dye kit. I of course couldn't resist learning a new craft. Below are some photos of the process and end results. Can't wait to do it again.
Made another Wild Blackberry Pie. A couple of friends and I spent the morning picking the juiciest blackberries in the mountains so that I could make a pie for the evening. It was pretty darn good. Next time we go berry picking I plan to pick enough for some jam and ice cream too.
Life is good.
