"Reading and viewing, knitting and drinking tea . . . writing and drawing in my Jane Austen journal." - Pom Pom
She proposes a month of this, starting August 1st!
After August, Pom Pom suggests a Beatrix Potter Festival in September ... I might wait until October? I adore October, and September is still Hot Summer here. I'm pretty well set for Miss Potter, if I do say so myself:
Austen would inspire much writing in a journal, followed by Potter, who would cause one to sketch animals.
Of course, I'll need two new, small journals from the creative hands of Adam, the book-crafter. I'm still dabbling a tiny bit in my
Anyone else care to join in the fun?

Does sound like fun! I'll at least commit to reading what you girls write, lol. I have all of Austen's novels on my Kindle and a hard copy of P&P on my shelf, so I may read along, even if a little slowly.
Fun, indeed! I can't wait to see your books (the ones Adam makes!).
Viewing is fun, too. That lovely long P and P with Colin Firth . . . best!
October sounds perfect for Beatrix! Let's do that! I will go to Victoria, BC at the end of September (with our girls for my 60th) and I shall have to get my British thinking warmed up there! Wahoo! The Empress! We won't have tea there because it costs too much and is too fattening, but we'll definitely go to the gift shop.
There are many lovely books about Beatrix. They are all scrumptious.
I'm going to go down to the basement and sketch right now. Oh! I made another pair of pants this morning. Denim. They are so comfy and fit so well. They are like pajama pants, really. No wonder I like them.
The pattern is on Etsy (100 Acts of Sewing) and they are pants #1. Easy breezy.
I think I must wait until September and BP. My eye sight has been getting worse and of course reading is difficult. I'm having cataract surgery next week. Hopefully that will help.
Like Lisa, I'll read what y'all are doing but (GASP!) I'm not a Jane Austin fan and am always amused at what Mark Twain said, “Everytime I read 'Pride and Prejudice' I want to dig her up and beat her over the skull with her own shin-bone.” LOL
MK, I'm eagerly looking forward to reading anything that's part of a Jane Austen or Beatrix Potter festival!
