Taking Stock

 

 Hello.

It has been a while, hasn't it?

Suffice to say that life has been happening and letting this space sit idle for a while seemed like the right thing to do. Okay?

Let's get back into the swing of things by taking stock:

Making: Christmas gifts
Cooking: lots of vegetables
Drinking: Earl Grey tea
Reading: Aquarium by David Vann
Watching: The Blacklist
Deciding: when to put up the Christmas tree
Hoping: for a peaceful Christmas
Enjoying: the sunshine, when it happens
Liking: my new haircut
Loving: my new slippers and having warm feet
Pondering: next steps
Listening: to Better Boat by Kenny Chesney
Considering: Christmas menus
Buying: Christmas gifts
Browsing: crochet patterns
Wishing: I had a craft room
Wanting: to practice some embroidery
Marveling: at the number of houseplants I've managed to keep alive
Waiting: for a few packages to arrive in the mail
Cringing: at the state of the basement
Hoping: for some reciprocation
Needing: a win
Smelling: the candle burning on the kitchen counter
Wearing: sweaters - it's time to stay warm
Noticing: I have a lot of gray sweaters
Knowing: that I have done all I can
Prioritizing: rest and self care
Sorting: my closet
Thinking: about crochet design
Celebrating: a freezer full of meals ready for busy nights
Disliking: another dull, gray day
Feeling: disappointed
Hearing: quiet
Embracing: my girls, every chance I get
Accepting: what is - at least I'm trying to, but damn it is hard sometimes

More to come around here soon. I've made lots of things lately...and am excited to share.
