Occasionally I share projects I’m working on, or have finished. This picture goes with the posts.
Why? Because despite me, ADD, arthritis, and other obstacles, things get done. And I feel glad. Endurance is a similar word. Hands hurting is something to be endured, even if the hobby is enjoyable. So here’s my latest batch of projects in various stages of completeness.
Isle yarn from Willows.
Endurance of lack of Internet or streaming services is the hardest part of all of this. I need the distraction. And the chance to work on the web, especially GoodReads and the reviews I need to write. This is endurance. We may be up and running tomorrow when our local Internet fixer will come by. ๐ค
But that’s not all I’m working on.
That’s all I can think of. My poor writing project seems stalled again. Maybe after Christmas I’ll have less pressing projects and can get back into it.
Happy
Tween earth and sky
It’s you and I.
Twins of bone and blood.
Squishing toes in mud.
The rain and snow may fall,
But WE are one and all.
None better than the rest,
With love within the breast.
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โelement.โ Use it any way youโd like. Have fun!
The elemental chart brings me to yawns. As crazy as I always was about science, chemistry class about did me in. Never a morning person, chemistry was first period. My teacher was a monotoned speaker. I did still come around for labs. I had a geek for a lab partner. She was fun and taught me well. I think it was due to her that I made a solid C+.
I always thought I could have done so much better if the class was later. If the teacher more excited about the subject matter. And if I could have approached the lessons with more creativity.
Drawing and coloring maps made the geography real. Singing the elements would have helped as little ditties always helped me remember. Games could have solidified information. I wish I was my own teacher!
Oh, nevermind. We all know my element. Creativity. Throw in some yarn and I’m in my element.
Per Linda:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โhappy place.โ Write the first thing that comes to mind when you think of โhappy place.โ Have fun!
In my heart of hearts, this is my happy place:
Since that is far, far away and impossible to get to, this is my happy place:
It keeps me out of trouble and gives me peace.
Hope you had a wonderful three-day weekend and celebrated a thoughtful, safe Labor Day, for those here in the states. And for those elsewhere, I hope you had a great few days.
It is Fall here. 94-100 degrees during the day but leaves are littering the porch and driveway proving a huge drop at night. We have hit high 30s (F)! Can you believe it? Really, this time I’m ready to let go of what used to be my favorite season. With no chance to swim and overwhelming flies and moths, bring on the chill!
So what are my latest WIPs? Many will look familiar but believe it or not, much progress has happened.
I’m feeling much better having crackled my back by moving pillows. It quit hurting. The bladder infection seems gone. No more pain. No temp. Here’s what I took besides drinking tons of water.
What are your WIPs? Oh, and
