A snow day - devotional. I spent hours sewing, creating, taking brisk walks to the bird feeders and throwing snowballs at a goofy knucklehead dog. His test results revealed a form of Lymes disease and he is taking his gigantic pills in his usual good-natured way. The pain killers really loosen him up and reveal his dorky side. At one point this afternoon I came downstairs to find him asleep on his back, all four paws in the air. He was snoring to beat the band!
It was a good day to address washing and blocking -
This is SMC's 'Down To Earth Cotton' and I really like it. The fiber has a creaminess to it that one seldom experiences in natural cotton. It's certified organically grown and dyed - I like that it feels smooshie and perfect for a baby's tender skin.
Packing a box to send to a friend - making new bags with vintage 'aprons' -
These activities, this 'work' energized and delighted and filled me with optimism today. I was completely tuned into my inner world, so transformed that the fading light caught me by surprise, I'd lost track of the hours. This, I think, is the essence of work = love.
