WIP

Saiki shawl from Expression Fiber Arts This is a long work in progress (WIP) that I started in February. I love this color and I wanted to practice my knitting so I found a perfect repetitive pattern that I can make as long or short as I want. This baby is going to be as… Continue reading WIP

Quote of the day

take rest We talk about taking rest a lot in yoga. Don't push your body to do things it just wasn't designed to do, or push yourself to the point of exhaustion. Yoga, I'm told, should be easy. (If you have ever taken a yoga class, it's not always easy. It just looks that way.)… Continue reading Quote of the day

Tune Tuesday

https://youtu.be/wsk4QV4WLZ8 X-amount of words This song has been on my mind a lot lately. I love the melody and the lyrics are very telling and poignant to me.

But being mostly chihuahua, he is whiny and jittery, even though we are home. I can understand, he was left in a… Continue reading Tune Tuesday

Boring Monday

Which I am OK with that. I took a much needed nap, then spent a little time outside with the dogs. It was pretty cool today, and I swear that there was frost on the ground this morning, Holy crap. The baby girl community cat is getting friendlier with me, and Snowball has been playing… Continue reading Boring Monday

Lazy Sunday

Oh so tired It is raining and cold here and it is expected to stay this way all day. So no garden planting and I won't be doing any painting either (I open the windows to let the paint fumes out). So an exciting day of knitting and movie watching. And napping, definitely. A perfect… Continue reading Lazy Sunday
