Winter Notes- Monday, February 5th. Sunshine and 28 degrees


 I thought I had a plan for the Honda Fit..but the garage is no longer AAA and no longer has a truck to haul cars.  So they said they couldn't help me.  But they had tires and batteries etc.......

Well, back to the drawing board.

I finished Tom Lake.  It was like a long, satisfying walk......left me wanting cherries.

Today....I have no plans...we have plenty of quick food- leftover pizza from yesterday- No Football Pizza which was possibly the best one we have made on all of these Sundays.......and I have hot dogs... we've both done wash....no paper today and perhaps no bills????  

We have these things we do.....and it forms a sort of backbone for the week. Structure.  Which we both seem to need.

I have a Sophie Kinsella book but have a feeling it's one I read and didn't really like very much.  A woman wakes up with amnesia,  I think it turns dark.

I may just pick another for today. A "fluffier" book.

I have a cup of sharpened colored pencils by my placemat on the dining room table.  I will sort out some paper today....in case the mood strikes me to scribble and draw and color.  Art.  I had cloth and thread and needles but.....it never sparked....I don't know why....I have a half finished thing somewhere but I think I stopped because I couldn't find cloth for the next round of borders......I looked and looked but the fabric I wanted- didn't exist.  There was some near the center.....sigh.  It's damned annoying when that happens.

I still have the strips of cloth I sewed together so I could make carrot shapes and hand appliqué them to a brown flecked cloth (dirt)....but I still haven't done that either.  I just need to find something ELSE that sparks Joy.  Because once I start sewing- I really enjoy doing it.

I have all the fabric I could need - but one day this week I'm going to the quilt store just to see if they have something that can get me quilting again. Wish I could take you with me.

Yes, sometimes we just need to get a "fresh Idea"
