While reading blogs still peaks my interest, it seems that some of my tried 'n true faves are on hiatus from writing & posting - many folks use Facebook in place of a blog. My sidebar lists some that I do still check - being a hopeful traveler, I still see if anything new has been posted. Then I consider that I am posting so sporadically, that I have not included any photos (hope to! plan to!) & that I write once a month pretty much for myself (all OK) & I understand why they are on a break.
When reading Boogie Blather today (see sidebar for a link just in case you don't know Amy), she mentioned a few things that grabbed me - she had a pie in the sky idea to do something (oh yes, I know those!), she wrote of her doodling (you are such an artist, Amy) & she wrote of sewing. I have been making steps forward to getting the sewing machine (an older Bernina) set up in Young Man M's old bedroom which we are redoing since he is living elsewhere & putting the pedal to the metal so I can sew again. There are some little things I would like to sew like cat nip bags & sachets, some mending, maybe a couple of baby quilts. Curtains too. There was a photo in the post of the garden she shares w/her parents. I am starting to plan a re-do of our yard & gardens - where can I place new beds, shall we put together raised beds (yes!), how to divide some of our perennials, what to plant where. We have a nice start of a garden with our side/driveway perennial bed & the "crop circle" we made in the center of the front yard. I am eager to use the gift of time I will have over the next couple of months to expand our flower space.
Thank you, Amy Boogie, for your inspirations!! Hugs to you.
My work life is in a period of change & I look forward to seeing what doors I step toward & how they open. Lots of changes are coming up soon!
To help w/this, what am I doing, you ask? Knitting, reading, time w/SJ, naps, making to-do lists, having tummy upsets & headaches, thinking deep tho'ts, walking w/SJ in the AMs, day dreaming of pie in the sky ideas. Send a good tho't or two please.
