#Making Monday


Because I don’t like sarcasm or facetious remarks, I’ll forgo the #JusJoJan for this last day.

I don’t know if I shared the black painted “framed” *TARDIS in Starry Night.

Didn’t get the whole picture but I think you get the idea. Now I need to pick up some Command Strips to hang it on the wall.

Here’s a little for those who haven’t crossed paths with Doctor Who.<— Wiki

Here is the progress on my newest diamond project. In five days I’ve manage the lower right, of the sandy beach of Beach Sunset. The whole preview on the right. Sideways. This one is worked horizontally and sideways. I need to use the straightener to get my lines more even.

The slipper socks are nearly finished. I’m still working the cuffs.

What are you working on?


Done with the dots and Mod Podge. Tomorrow, black paint framing.

Yesterday, I kitted up the new project.

Here’s the preview and key.

The ‘diamonds’ come in little packets. With this project it’s even better as they are in little ziplock bags. The numbers correspond to the key on the canvas.

One side of cellophane bag.
The other side.
I have these containers that I think are less dumpable. So I labeled per key.
Progress so far.

And knitting is still keeping me out of trouble. This pair going to the charity. I’ll give the play by play when finished.

So soft. I wish they fit me! Not really. I feel good that someone might feel more comfortable in their life.

My mission for Fridays is to have something accomplished. Some weeks I don’t even come close to a finished product. This week, there are a few things I’m proud of. Even though close is all I got.

Probably will finish tomorrow on another scrappy slipper socks for charity, using up some small skeins.
Only a couple empty ‘drill’ spots. I’ll do those before bed. Tomorrow I will ‘Mod Podge’ and paint the border. Then I will look at my next project. Try painting? Sunset beach Diamond Painting? Rock painting? So many artsy-fartsy things to try!
Finish of a perfect day, including a mile walk with Kali.

Now I just need to find music time!

Your prompt for JusJoJan January 21st, 2022, is โ€œmission.โ€ Use the word โ€œmissonโ€ any way youโ€™d like. Have fun!


Along with plenty of water, salad and salmon, another important part of my daily diet is a small bit of dark chocolate. A diet should have some yum, don’t you think?

I choose that square nearest my left side of my hair. Just above the double heart.

Your prompt for JusJoJan January 10th, 2022, is โ€œchocolate.โ€ Use the word โ€œchocolateโ€ any way youโ€™d like. Have fun!


May we all experience the magic and healing adventures granted by unicorns of all shapes and sizes!

Your prompt for JusJoJan January 9th,ย 2022,ย is โ€œunicorn.โ€ Use the word โ€œunicornโ€ any way youโ€™d like. Enjoy!


Your prompt for JusJoJan January 6th, 2022, is โ€œanticipation.โ€ Use the word โ€œanticipationโ€ any way youโ€™d like. Enjoy!

My first thought (mistakenly) when I heard the prompt was of Carole King on Tapestry.

That album got me through my first year of marriage and in the small town this Southern California big city girl found herself in.

The radio was pitiful, television even worse, three UHF stations. So I had a few favorite albums. Tapestry, 2001 Space Odyssey,

A few John Denver’s

And others. But the woman you’ve been waiting to hear,

who came to mind when you heard the prompt:

Anticipation is making us wait. Hehehe.๐Ÿคญ


There is no lack of generosity. There is an abundance, borrowing from yesterday’s prompt. Look at how hard everyone tried to make sure everyone knew that we wished for the best holidays for friends and family on Facebook. I actually developed a bit of ‘wishing weariness.’ Did you?

Don’t get me wrong, with the isolation we’ve dealt with over the last couple years with lack of hugs and touch, we want to reach out to our loved ones. But after I post ‘Happy {fill in the blank}’ then friends answer on my feed with similar greeting. Then you see them posting another greeting and then the quandary starts. At what level of wishing do we stop wishing? I mean, in your heart you still hope for everyone’s best everything. But I got off Facebook after the 25th and then the 1st, just to find real life again. When do we stop wishing Happy New Year? June?

I figured generosity begins at home. My eyes and greetings should hit my housemates and fur babies. Ah, but then I worried that I hadn’t wished generously enough. Sigh…

Your prompt for JusJoJan January 4th, 2022, is โ€œgenerosity.โ€ Use the word โ€œgenerosityโ€ any way youโ€™d like. Have fun!


Wow! Can you believe we are back to January in a year that can look like this Y2K22? Beginning Just Jot it January, again, a prompt to write on everyday. Today’s blends with the Stream of Consciousness Saturday with the word prompt appropriate for the day, resolve.

Resolve according to Dar’s silly dictionary is to repeatedly solve. Which is how we all continue an insanity every year. Resolutions have been proven unsuccessful most of the time.

My friend and I choose to sit and write out possibilities. Last year I saw a possibility of getting healthier. It took the whole year adjusting eating habits losing over 30 pounds. And Intermittent Fasting has been the best, easiest method of my life.

This year will mean a possibility of more movement. More music making. More art enjoyments. Of course more knitting. But I’m determined to knit socks on circular needles, flippiesย  or whatever they call those bendy short ones, and I want to learn to use double pointed needles. Right now, loom knitting is fast and I don’t lose stitches. But I am determined to be able to use any of these methods.

I see myself writing more letters and cards. And speaking of writing, I see those many books edited and finding readers.ย 

I see people being kinder to each other. So let’s see if we can make this and more come true!

Per Linda of the prompts:

Your prompt for #JusJoJan and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: โ€œresolve.โ€ Use it as a noun or a verb. Have fun!

Finished Friday


Oh, and Freezing Friday. Here’s our porch light as proof. It’s creepier at night but too cold and icy to step out to take a picture.

These finished and the next already started.

Kitchener cast-on, white toes cinnamon foot, white heel and cuff.

A very satisfying finish was the series Lost in Space.

Now back to Season 13 of Doctor Who.

Oh and here’s to the finish of this horrid year

See you next year!

I am so addicted to Diamond Painting. I can only handle a bit, maybe a hour but it is so meditative. Let me see if I can show you my progress so far.

The TARDIS in the middle has the shadow on the right side.

It is slow so I’m teaching myself the multi-drillers. Here’s one of the tutorials.

I’ll let you know if it works.
