Daily Notes- March 3rd

Collected magazine pictures of chairs.  When I have enough--and who knows what that even means-I will open the drawing journal and make pencil line drawings.  The outer edge of each chair.  That pale green one looks cozy.

We woke up to snow and G went out very early and got it all cleared off.  It's 40 now and the drive is all black asphalt-ice surfaces melted.  He also put the neighbor's New York Times by her front door.  Last Sunday she drove her car out of the garage to pick the paper off the drive and I felt we should have gotten the paper for her.  Snow covers ice.  Life gets dangerous. And she is just getting over her broken arm surgery.

Snow coming later today--8 to 10 inches.  After Goodwill (a black and cream Bean stripe tee and my absolutely favorite item of clothing from Bean--a long sleeved thermal knit shirt.  In rosy pink--I only have cream and grey.  Rosy pink.  And it's old and broken in and soft.  I will probably be wearing it for the remainder of Winter. Like every day.  Looks amazing with my charcoal sweater.  Will look amazing with the soft dark grey sweater.  What a find!!!!

My other purchase was a one dollar bag of misc. beads- not even a quarter cup in volume.  I can't wait to get my bead bowl out and add them to the mix.  I like to sit and stir the beads.  Meditate.  No two are alike.  Goodwill was also selling someone's entire bead collection--sorted into those containers I use for embroidery floss.  Ordinary beads.  I looked at each and every box--like 20 boxes.  Nothing sparked joy.  The little bag did. Deb's bead soup did.

Visit to JoAnn's to look at fabric.  Sigh.   I bought a blue print with tiny stormy diamonds as the overall pattern.  It seemed like it was meant to be.  I mean- stormy diamond pattern???  What are the odds? The blue might not match but at this point I have spent more effort on this project than is warranted.  I want to move on.

I need to eat some lunch. Cranky.

I seemed to have skipped Morning pages for the first two days of March.  I was doing the end of the week round up.  I am sleeping much better.  I am actually doing something to move projects forward. I am cleaning off the dining room table and putting projects away or actually starting to sew.  I have even plugged in the iron and ironed things--seams open etc.  Not much but...close up...it feels really good.
