End of February Day Book

Outside My Window
A grey rainy, sleety, yucky looking day.  It's been this way since the wee hours of the morning and doesn't look as if it's going to end any time soon.


I am Listening To
The dog snoring while she naps by the window.


I am Wearing
Wool sweater, jeans, thick wool socks, slippers, and an afghan.


I am Grateful For
Blackcurrant Tea and leftover soup.


I am Reading
This and this, and thinking about how to find the balance between them.



I am Creating
A baby sweater, some knitted toy balls, and quilts for Bean and Ben.


I am Thinking
Of all the people I am writing notes to today.  Because what better to do on a gloomy day than write notes to friends on sunshiny stationary?


On My iPod
The Golem's Eye by Jonathan Stroud.


Around the House
Painting the downstairs bathroom, which will make it a much pleasanter looking place.  Though really, anything is better than plain white.


In the Kitchen
I'm not sure yet, I had to work on Saturday which threw off my grocery shopping schedule and I haven't thought about what to make tonight.  In which case it's probably breakfast for dinner, which is quick enough that I can get the shopping in this evening.


One of My Favorite Things
Quiet afternoons curled up on the couch with big cup of tea and some writing and knitting.


A Few Plans for the Week
Painting the bathroom, finishing both quilts, and just keeping up with things around the house.

Dusting off the blog

Where to begin, where to begin. . .

Well the very short version is that in my longer than expected hiatus I've bought a house, gotten married, moved to the East Coast, and gotten a dog.

I also have picked up knitting, quilting and cooking every day.  The house is a fixer-upper and there's always something to be done with it, currently we're in the middle of adding on a dining room and re-siding the whole house.  That rather large project is partway done and on hold until the snow melts and it's warm enough for us to tolerate being outside for long.  In the meantime we're reorganizing and purging the inside of the house and painting all the rooms we didn't get to before we moved in.

That's about all for right this moment.
