Sad story and upcoming vacation


Tee: Target
Skirt: I made it
Belt: Target
Sandals: Chinese Laundry
Earrings: Turkey
Scarf: J Crew
Kitteh: Elefante

True story: late on the evening of the fifth, Pirata, our other kitten disappeared. We live in the country and there are coyotes and big herding dogs that just kind of...roam. One of them must've roamed off with our other kitten.


So, I'm pretty sad about it, and now probably way overprotective of our remaining fur babies, Kiku and Elefante. The irony is that she disappeared on a day when we were all home all day long.


Anyway, we're on our short school vacation here in Costa Rica. We're off until the 18th, and then we leave for our real vacation on the 24th. I. Am. So. Excited! Development work requires even longer hours than teaching, and I'm doing both, so, long, busy days. But! Vacation is in sight.


And vacations make me do the happy dance. Oh, yeah! Even if it's a little tempered by the loss of our sweet kitten.



ETA: Pirata came back on the morning of the 8th. I walked out to feed Elefante, and there she was, meowing away as if I'd run away.

    But you look super cute. Hopefully that'll help...? :/

  3. Awww, that is terrible! Your poor baby.
    I'll keep my fingers crossed she's just hiding in a tree and will come home.

    Also, I'm loving your skirt, and i hope you have a fun vacation!

  4. She's back! I went out this morning, and there she was.
    I've struggled to love this skirt, because the hem is uneven and the pockets are wonky, but it's grown on me.

  5. Thanks! She did return, so I'm happy about that. Also, I'm pretty happy about this skirt - I made it out of a curtain I thrifted and it's my first sewing project pretty much ever.

  9. The disappearance of your kitty must have been scary. I'm glad she came back. I'm super impressed at your ability to make a skirt, out of a curtain no less! I need to learn how to do that.
