[Happiness] August in Hindsight and Welcome September!

Well here we are - Happy September, y’all! :fallen_leaf:

In August (or, rather, very late July), I was introduced to this community, and have been very happy to be able to share my love of crafting with those who share the same feeling. It’s been really nice getting to know some of y’all, and I look forward to more months of fun Robotime awesomeness!

I finished two Rolife kits in August: the Sunset Isle, and Tipsy Cat Bar. I had such fun working on both builds. I sit at my bedside and will just stare at the ambiance they create for minutes at a time. I’m so ready to add more!

I started, and almost finished, this… thing. Someone please shame me into finishing it. I want it to stop taking up bandwidth :rofl: all that’s left is the courtyard, the hardest parts are all done.

I invited some Nancis and Suris to live with me. I hope they feel welcome, because I welcome their beauty and whimsy. The Nanci I won from the “Welcome Post” giveaway now guards my award shelf in her little fruit room. Thanks so much @Robotime - I never thought I’d be into dolls but here we are :rofl:

Can’t forget the fluffy one - she’s a good hugger :heart:

And I got to expand my little hobby out to my mom, who came to my first Robotime meetup with me. She’s so excited for the next one, to the point she invited her roommates and their friend! I got to meet @Grey74 at my first Robotime meetup and now we’re besties, but also everyone else at the meetup was so nice and it was so rewarding to be in a room full of people who love this little craft.

I’m excited to see what September brings, but also a little anxious because it’s my busiest month of the year - my seasonal Polka band is starting up again for this year, plus my 90’s cover band has a bunch of shows, too. Not to mention I might have a birthday at the end if the month… but it’s fine I’ll sleep when I’m dead :upside_down_face:

What’s y’all’s September like?

singing is so good for the soul, in my opinion. it’s the one thing I love to do the most. to me, it doesn’t matter if you’re “good” or “bad” - music is for everyone because it is such a universal expression of emotion. I can go on all day, but that’s to say don’t be afraid to sing your heart out wherever you are :heart:

This is so true! I was a member of our school choir before but unfortunately life has been busy. My love for music never stopped though. It runs in your blood. Hahaha

@grey74 NO WAY!!! I’ve played trombone since I was 10, I went to college for it :smiling_face_with_tear: I wanted to play the biggest instrument I was allowed to, since I was about the size of a kitten at that age. I had to use a shoelace to toss my slide out to 6th position to reach C :rofl:

haha yeah I’m one of those people that can’t stop or else I get anxious I’m not being productive enough :rofl::sob:

but I also love playing music so I also feel privileged for the opportunity to do it (and paid, no less $$)
