outside my window. . . dark & a chilly 37°!
(There's just a sliver of a moon. . . & it's only 3:45 a.m. I woke up at about 12:30 & after a couple of hours, I gave up falling back asleep. . . & so I've been updating my book list (in the left column) & thought it would be fun to do this week's daybook - before dawn even arrives! . . .
I am thinking. . . of what projects I want to prep for a personal retreat that I'm taking soon.
from the kitchen. . . just the night-light over the stove. . . but turning on the coffee sounds really tempting. . .
I am wearing. . . jammies. (with a side of quilts & a soft warm puppers curled up beside me.
I am creating. . . finishing the quilting on the last of my two new embroidery projects. Also the sketchbook is filled with bunches of new ideas. . . I could fill a book!
I am remembering. . . honestly. . . not much at this hour(!).
I am reading. . . 'The Scarlet Thread' - by Francine Rivers.
I am hoping . . . to do better at walking. . . (I've been slacking a bit.)
I am hearing. . . the heater just kicked on. . . otherwise just the soft whirl of my laptop fan. . . (oh, & the little snores of said puppers)
around the house. . . I've got projects in all sorts of stages in the studio. I still have winter quilts out - but I'm thinking that will get changed in the next week as out temperatures are going back up to spring-like temps! (yea!)
I am going. . . later today. . . (after the sun rises. . .) to the market. I'm out of almost everything except milk & oatmeal!
one of my favorite things. . . soups. . . I'm a soup girl. . . wouldn't mind having it every day.
a few plans for the rest of the week. . . prepping new projects. . . getting bindings ready for 3 quilts. . . & taking Dad out to lunch.
from my picture journal . . .
Sorry you've gotten so little sleep...but it does sound like you've been productive!
ReplyDeleteOh, Brenda, I WISH I could quilt like that amazing picture from your picture journal -- I know, practice, practice, practice. That is so beautiful. Have a good day -- bet you'll be ready to go to bed by 8:00 tonight!
ReplyDeleteBrenda, You must have a peek at you on my blog on Nov 15, when Rosie, Melly ,and I came home from Market.
ReplyDeleteI love those quiet hours of the early (early!!) morning when no one else is up. Have a peaceful day.
ReplyDeleteEarly mornings are my favorite time of day. I love the quiet! And I am utterly and hopelessly in love with the quilt you have pictured! I gasped out loud when I saw it! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHezké věci...
