The time is flying by before us. We are so much involved in our earn for living that we forgot the smell of soil which is been beaten under our very feet. Now and then, there are times when you realize that all this work, all this effort and all this stress just vanish into the complete sense of bliss.
Last weekend was the time when the urge to free myself took me to adventure into some new places which were always around me but never been noticed seriously. I was amazed for what I experienced and sighted.
Margalla hills, a small subrange of lower Himalayan Mountain range is an amazing place. Apart from the mostly travelled Pir Suhawa & Monal, there are other dimensions to this very serene and calm mountains. This time, there was a touch of adventure as I took the road which was only suitable for the 4x4 Jeeps... The car was beaten and some extra spinning of wheels and burning clutch plates, took me to a brand new point of View...
Above the village of Rimli, behind the Quaid-E-Azam University in Islamabad, there is a pathway going up in the heights to nowhere. Few wander into that isolated place. The condition of road is not good for the saloon cars but wonderful for the Jeeps. A high point up there gives a panoramic view of Shadra Valley on one side and Rimly village beneath along with the vista of twin-city opening up to tens of kilometers before you.
It is sometime fun to burn the rubber to get to the place one envision while wandering in the valleys. That's the simplicity of adventure... No planning, deciding over every turn.

Tunic length made from rayon knit. Blogged girlsinthegarden.blogspot.com/2010/05/simplicity-2369.html
I cut a size 4 top, graded to a size 6 at the waist. This dress is short--I didn't adjust the length at all, and I'm under 5'3". If you're of normal height, I'd recommend cutting at the hemline for view A (the gathered waist version).
Simplicity is...the love of a child. Joshua made this mug for me in art class at school. He was so proud to give it to me. Sometimes I don't feel like a great parent. I see my flaws. But he doesn't see any of it. He tells me he loves me and showers me with compliments on a daily basis.
Pattern is one of my favorites but now out of print. fabric is a nice, soft shirting from the 2.95 pile at G Street Fabrics.

Just a simple chair: original image rotated 90 degrees, duplicated, flipped horizontally, duplicate moved on original, blended with multiply, moved horizontally until pattern is revealed. Finally cropped and adjusted to taste.

Sewing the collar and getting the amount of gathering needed for this pattern was a bit of a nightmare. Took me 2 hours of sewing-ripping-sewing-ripping.... to get it right. But it was a good learning experience & I'm sure I'll eventually use this pattern again. Someone with more sewing experience might have no trouble at all.
Bought this pattern some time ago. I'm not sure why I postponed using it for so long, because I like how it turned out. Used Egyptian cotton shirting. I also shortened the length of the tunic considerably.
From the collection of Alexander B. Tecoma.

Russ Miles and David Dawson came to Skills Matter and gave a one day workshop on how to inject simplicity in software. Working in teams, delegates created their code to navigate a real world AR drone (without crashing it!), learning how to break down a problem and tradeoff for the right values in Architecture, Design and Code. How to create the right number of tests to build the right level of confidence and how to enable Real Application Agility through Simplicity.
You can see the SkillsCasts (film, code, slides) of the day at: skillsmatter.com/event-details/home/russ-miles-practical-...
A veces no hay que ir tan lejos, parece que le faltara algo, pero ¿Por qu{e no encontrar la respuesta en lo simple.?
Sometimes not have to go that far, it seems that lacked something, but why not find the answer in the simplicity.?

Today's daily inspiration was #simplicity.
So many things that seem simple, in truth, are very complex. A feather, a flame, a seed.
Because of some complications, the simplicity of a flame alludes me. I am without a cooktop still, so I need to figure out a way to use my order of kumquats before they rot if candied kumquats, marmalade, and cinnamon kumquats are no longer an option.
This seems an excellent opportunity, therefore, to finally try my hand at bitters making. Therefore I will be attempting to make a kumquat bitters, which should go well in the newly concocted house cocktail, titled an "I Beg You Pardon?" I'll let you know how it fares.
