Autumn

into the strenuous briefness
by e. e. cummings

into the strenuous briefness
Life:
handorgans and April
darkness, friends

i charge laughing.
Into the hair-thin tints
of yellow dawn,
into the women-coloured twilight

i smilingly glide. I
into the big vermilion departure
swim, sayingly;

(Do you think?) the
i do, world
is probably made
of roses & hello:

(of solongs and, ashes)

Just how perfect this poem is for Autumn and what am i feeling lately. One of my favorite poem of e.e. cummings.  A wonderful description of what life is all about..... unfair, sometimes hard, it is short but simply AMAZING!  And i feel like Autumn describes what life is.

Sureau Sew-along!

October...whew! this is the month of the year that i do not like. Gloomy skies, sometimes rainy and so short day. Such weather doesn't give justice to my day. I need to motivate, inspire myself to keep going. Depression, homesickness..these are things I really do hate when autumn comes.

To keep me inspired and motivated, I am challenging & submitting myself to join the first sew-along hosted by Paunnet & Eleonore of Doe & Deer using the Robe Sureau dress pattern.  It will keep my autumn blues away and will make me busy as well. Perfect timing for the weather is getting colder and kids are pretty in preschool.

If your IN for the sew-along, then go and click the button below...

I am excited and as well as giddy to start. Can't wait for the pattern.

Have a nice day everyone!
