dual personalities

And here we are on Tuesday evening again. It really feels more like a Wednesday. I’ve been in a funk since yesterday when I realized I had to tear out all of the lettering I’d done on my most new cross-stitch project because I’d foolishly started in the wrong spot. Blergh. But! I did pick up my wine club wines this afternoon, so there’s a nice red blend in my future.

I moved my sewing table/work from home desk back to the craft room from the sunroom this weekend. I’ll miss spying on observing my neighbors. But the feng shui is really back to normal. With the set up back in its usual place, I whipped these up, per request, for Daughter #2 and sweet Katiebelle.

Also, in breaking news I forgot to mention last week, I got my sampler back from the frame shop. And boy does it look good. I am so pleased.

I drove down to Osage Beach this weekend to hit up the outlets. It feels like stealing to shop at JCrew these days and I didn’t really see anything that great. It was a pretty drive, though.

So things continue on.

“When spring came, even the false spring, there were no problems except where to be happiest. The only thing that could spoil a day was people and if you could keep them from making engagements, each day had no limits. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.”

–Ernest Hemingway, “A Moveable Feast

I just love to page through old books and see what I’ve underlined before. Usually it’s stuff that seemed really deep when you were in college and in your early 20s but now seems not deep at all. Anyway, I actually liked this quote from Hemingway–even if it is about Spring and we are entering Fall.

*I wish. (Bart Simpson, “Bart of Darkness”)
