It is approximately 5:19 am here in Washington state (as I begin to type). I have been awake for most of the night, and the good news is that I have made a little progress on my scarf. (When I was little and an early riser, I received very specific instructions about approved activities: Reading (ok), running (not ok). As I was knitting this morning I thought, if only I had known how to knit back then! It’s a perfect quiet activity.
My friend G’s birthday is next week. This particular friend is very creative, and I’m trying to think up a card to make that is worthy of her. Stay tuned for photos.
On another note, I immensely enjoyed this blog post. For the first time ever I felt that I really loved Spokane, as there is a Michael’s within 10 miles of my house. I had good fun and spent only $2 over my planned budget.
My sister-in-law is getting married next month (any Portland, Oregon suggestions welcome). There is a piece of fabric I have long been eyeing at Joann, but couldn’t come up with anything to make out of it. This morning, about 2:45 am, it came to me. A wrap! I wore one to a wedding in March and it was great. It kept me warm in the morning when the wind was up and kept me from getting a sunburn in the afternoon (my complexion tone is approximately “lightbulb”). (That’s me in blue, below.)
With any luck, by the time the store opens the fabric will still be there. If I can get some and whip up a wrap, I’ll post photos.
The house is quiet, there isn’t any traffic on the street outside. People are sliding slowly into their weekends. All will be well.
