Day 304 of 2021

The view out the window looked beautiful, like a painting. 

The situation inside was not so beautiful.

It was a beautiful day for a birthday. 

Happy birthday, Fireball.

Day 299 of 2021

We're taking the back roads today, 

complete with a bit fall color and a red truck.

 

Day 298 of 2021

Monday is laundry day. 

I was gone all day. 

I thought I could still get it done tonight, 

but it looks like I will have one more load to do tomorrow.

 

Day 297 of 2021

I was putting my knitting away for the night

 when I thought I saw something move on the floor. 

I looked up to see what it might have been

 and only saw what appeared to be a piece of thread. 

I had a feeling it was not so I got up to investigate. 

Sure enough the "thread" began to move at great speed. 

I stomped in time to stop the now dead spider. 

I sat back down and heard a pop. 

I stood up to find my working needle had not made it into my bag yet 

and was now snapped. 

Now this project will be delayed until I find new needles.

 

Day 296 of 2021

Date night.

 

Day 295 of 2021

Day 291 of 2021

I've posted a similar picture a couple times.

Does anyone remember where I am? 

I come here routinely about every six weeks or so. 

I always hope my next visit will be further out 

but it hasn't been working out that way. 

So, Where am I?

 

Day 290 of 2021

I love this part of the walk to the stadium. 

It was especially pretty today.

 

Day 289 of 2021

I'm doing some wedding building today 

and I am reminded that the first cut is always the scariest.

Unexpected flowers from Fireball are bringing me much joy. 

 

Day 287 of 2021

The burning bush down the street has started burning.

 

Day 286 of 2021

Seasonal crafting with the kids is messy and exciting, but always fun.

 

Day 285 of 2021

Fireball and GB#5 are buddies.

 

Day 284 of 2021

I am shopping for something very specific. 

I had never been upstairs in this store before so I thought I would look. 

I didn't find what I was looking for 

but I found the architecture was very interesting.

 

Day 283 of 2021

GB#3 wanted his mom to have a stuffed rabbit for her birthday. 

He came to visit me with a vision of what he wanted and an outgrown sweater. 

In my studio he drew a blueprint

 and we discussed how the sweater would be used 

and additional fabric options. 

This is the final result of his designing, our brainstorming, and my sewing.

 

Day 282 of 2021

Today's work.

 

Day 281 of 2021

Although it was not totally unexpected 

that the upper roof would need all new deck boards, 

it was still a little jarring to see the house so exposed in preparation. 

 

Day 280 of 2021

When you put glasses on GB#5

 who shares her middle name with her Great Grandma (my mom)

Exciting things are about to happen at our house.
