:: right now ::

We are in the middle of winter but there are reminders in our days that spring is coming. The days are getting longer.  The garden is very slowly waking up. The sun is coming our way.

Right now I am:

:: happy to see this card every day, every time I sit down on my desk.

:: loving the sun-shining we’ve had.

:: seeing the bees enjoying the sun too.

:: enjoying music from my college years…

:: wondering if I have changed as much as he has in all these years…

:: not wondering anymore…

:: enjoying the new ironing board cover I made few weeks ago.  We’ve had the same board for 19 years, and the cover was… let’s say ‘the original.’  As you can imagine, not in the best shape.  I dreaded ironing, just because it was stained and faded…  I made this cover with some fabric I had in my stash found thrifting long ago, and needing to be used for the perfect the project.  I love the fresh new look.  Much more fun!

:: loving this fabric from my stash.  I’ve had it for few years… and now I’ using it for a new project.  Fun!

:: wondering if I’m waiting for spring or just noticing it.  I like it when it comes, but usually I like the winter months.

:: enjoying making smoothies with the fruits we picked last summer.  From raspberries, strawberries, blueberries and elderberries.

:: excited I went back to the thrift store to find this loom.  An Ashford table loom.  I saw it when I was searching for a shelf, and after carrying it around (and not finding a shelf) left it there not knowing if it was complete.  Came home to look online (I know, I don’t own one of those smart phones) to see if it was missing any parts.  I went back to the store and bought it.  It looks like we got everything!  I’ve been figuring out how to get started!

:: impressed at this work, from someone in our house who doesn’t do many crafts. 

:: enjoying and trying to get up a little earlier these days.

:: trying really hard to keep us healthy, cold-free as long as we can!

:: cherishing this smile and this moment…

:: enjoying having time with my sewing machine.

:: caught off balance when I find one of my hairs in my clothes.  They’ve been mostly grey ones these days…

:: loving that Siena asked me to make her a new hat.   It’s always fun to have a reason to make something new, right?

:: glad we brought this little otter we found at the beach on our trip last month.

:: smiling at the coincidence of both Lucas and Siena losing their tooth within ten seconds of each other the other evening.  A first one in our home!

What are you doing right now?  Hope you have a fun day.
