Hello 2021!

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The sun is bright and shining in my little corner of the Fort even if I'm not yet. Sleep and I are still having a rocky relationship so I'm a bit late today. Nothing quite like being wide awake at four am, finally getting cozy and sleeping later than planned. Last week! Limbo week as I like to call it. The time between Christmas and New Year's where not much of anything happens. Personally I enjoy the down time and in some ways it's the only time I let go. Ours was spent with BBC America showing the Doctor Who marathon, snacks and the Tapestry. Really wanted to finish the set of pages that I...

It's the end of the year as we know it and I feel fine

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The last one of 2020! No white Christmas here but definitely on the chilly side this morning. I hope that everyone had a good holiday. What did we do this last week? With school being finished the girls decided to take a mental break and spend the week catching up on their sleep. They've had quite a few late mornings. On the other hand I've kept my routine of getting up in the morning. It gives me more time to do things like music, reading and exercise. Still riding my bike but need to add back in other things as well. Guess that's the good thing about the start of a new year even though...

Relaxing into the rhythm

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Moving a little later than usual, guess that's what I get for not having the alarm set. Yes I know it's the weekend and I do sleep later than I do during the week but I enjoy the quiet time in the mornings. We each only have so much time, why would I want to spend it by myself asleep in bed? School is done for the girls for the semester! Even with the altered environments for each of them it looks like things went well. Then again Serra has not been challenged in her classes at all this year. Not because of doing things at home but due to her participation in Science Olympiad...

Pin, Inkle, and Stitching, Oh My!

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It's looking like a winter wonderland outside my window today. About time considering December is half over now. What I didn't expect with it was the super cold temperature! Made it hard to get out of a snuggly bed this morning. What did we do this week? Amanda survived her last mornings of 6 am lectures and now gets to prepare for two finals. Serra has an essay to write today, as per usual she's left it until the last moment. I think they are both ready for a couple of weeks of sleeping in and being lazy. As for craft things...so many different things this week! First the Jan/Feb edition of Handwoven made its...

Things happen for a reason

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! I wonder if the sun was partying on the other side of the world last night as he's a little slow making his appearance. It does make for a soft pastel sunrise which is a great change from the apocalyptic skies we had most of the summer.  So what happened this week? I finished my project for the Masks fundraiser for the Fort Collins MoA. The rainbow silk worked mostly how I wanted it to and I hope that someone out there likes it. Opening weekend isn't until April but here is a sneak peek. The Masks project is the major fundraiser for the museum every year so hopefully this will help and will be extra...
