See Ya

As far as I can tell, this is my last blog post. For the few family and friends who were regular readers, thanks. I will continue to upload photos to my flickr account found here.

The Simple Woman's Daybook

For today, January 11, 2010

Outside my window... fog.

I am thinking... about getting a real job.

I am thankful for... cashew butter and almond butter because peanuts are beans.

I am wearing... sweats and a wool sweater.

I am remembering... Martin--orange cat extraordinaire.

I am going... for a walk after breakfast.

I am reading... DEWEY The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World by Vicki Myron, but it makes me cry so I can only read a little at a time.  It's taking a long time to complete the book.

I am hoping... for a trip to Atlanta.

On my mind... Yesterday's gone and tomorrow isn't here yet so live in the moment--easier said than done.

Noticing that... I need to clean my sewing machine.

Pondering these words..."It's never too late to be who you might have been."-George Elliot.

From the kitchen... l'air du bacon and coffee.

Around the house... quiet.

I am creating...a new bird block, a green polar fleece hat, a new tunic, and maybe even some chocolate chip cookies today.

I am hoping... for a little sunshine today--you never know.

I am hearing... the furnace.

One of my favorite things... the quiet.

A few plans for the rest of the week... work on paper-pieced bird block and Neighborhood quilt WIP.

Picture for thought... photo from my morning walk. I always say I don't like the fog, but this is kind of pretty.

Gluten Free Sugar Cookies

With just a touch of almond flavor, they're crispy and tasty and free of wheat and gluten. Love.

Merry Christmas!

Vintage Trims From My Mom

Dear deer and birds from my mom who passed away many years ago. She was a simple woman with very little money, but she really seemed to like Christmas. These little figurines are precious to me.

Embroidered Cat Ornament

Another small project--an embroidered cat ornament I mailed to someone I love and who loves cats like I do.

Furry Christmas!

Needle Book

Since I'm feeling like only taking on simple projects, I made a needle book.* No pattern, no measurements, it ended up a bit larger than I really need--easier to spot in a sewing mess, I suppose. I like this one enough that I may make another.

*3" x 4", Robot Farm fabric designed and screen printed by first-born son, Brian.

Happy Birthday To My Sister

Happy Birthday, Nancy--and many more!
