Yes, another trip to see my daughter. She is working on a graduate degree at NYU and living in Manhattan. It's only 6.5 blocks to walk from her apartment to Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met). As I have on the other several trips I took this year, I went to the Met numerous times. I also spent a day at my favorite-all-time-anywhere Cloisters museum and enjoyed a lovely day at the wonderful Bronx Zoo with my daughter - but those are too much to squeeze into this collage!
In addition to
packing my new princess-seamed top - Floribunda Bouquet- and Floribunda's new
black linen ankle-length pants, I squeezed in sewing up another new top, a
cowl necked California poppies bedecked cowl neck in
challis. I used a favorite
knit pattern (
M6078) for
this woven, so I made a
muslin first to check side and shoulder seams. I did add some more length to the shoulder seams. It was lovely having this along, as it made me feel
just a tad dressier when I went to museums and shopping with my daughter. Also those
poppies showed off my
California style! Floribunda's
new pants went great with it as well. In addition to this top, cottony princess-seamed Floribunda, I packed two light tee shirts for this 8 day trip. As I rinse tops out at night and hung them to dry, I could have left one of them at home - must remember that...
Images in this collage include: street scenes, Central Park arches, Natural History Museum, a Saturday Farmers Market two doors from my daughters apartment, and The Metropolitan Museum. Oh I have so many more photos!

| Natural History Museum, New York City - Wouldn't it be great to have walls like this in my own home?! |

| I love the sense of how big a blue whale would actually be - What a challenge getting a full-sized photo! |
