The Simple Woman's Daybook . . .

 

 

FOR TODAY, October 15th, 2019

Outside my window ...

I can hear the birds waking up and beginning to sing.  The day is just barely beginning to dawn. It is still pretty dark out.

I am thinking ...

I really, really, REALLY hope that I can get in to see a Doctor today . . .  

 

I am thankful for ...

A grateful heart and the knowledge that things could always be worse, and are worse for many people. 

 

In the kitchen ... 

 

 

 

 

Best Ever Steak Rub. Its a tiny bit sweet, quite spicy and a whole lot of delicious! 

 

 

 

On my "To Cook" list ...

 

 

 

David Lebovitz, French Salted Butter Cookies. Sables Bretons. 

 

Good to know ... 

 

 

 

Who can't use a bit of help in this area . . . 

 

 

I am creating ... 

 

  

 

The next page in my flower journal.  Marigold, Periwinkle and I have started to sketch a Narcissis.  I still have the ink work to do along with finishing the Narcissis.

 

 

  

 

Fibre Necklaces using scraps of vintage fabrics, embroidery, etc. No source, just eye candy. 

 

 

 

 

Forest Friends, little knitted racoon doll. Esther Braithewaite on Ravelry.  

 

 

 

 

Crochet 'n' Create lovely granny circle crochet.

I am reading ... 

 

 

 

Cider with Rosie, by Laurie Lee 

Cider with Rosie is a wonderfully vivid memoir of childhood in a remote Cotswold village, a village before electricity or cars, a timeless place on the verge of change. Growing up amongst the fields and woods and characters of the place, Laurie Lee depicts a world that is both immediate and real and belongs to a now-distant past.

Apparently this is only book one, but I am enjoying it thus far. 

 

I am looking forward to ...

Ending my pain. Soon, I hope  . . .  

 

 

Dreaming of ... 

 

 

 

Old quilts and fabrics   . . . 

 

 

  

 

Embroidered Pillows  . . . . 

 

 

Knitted socks  . . . 

 

 

  

 

Painted wood doors and flower sprigged wallpaper  . . . 

 

 

Embroidered collars  . . . 

 

 

Makes me smile ... 

 

  

 

Ariana, Grace & Jose . . .  the perfect match  . . . 

Something to watch ... 

 

 

 

Diana, 7 Days that Shook the World, on Netflix.

 

 

A thought to carry with you  ...

like theAutumn leaf,

that looked at the sky and lived,

and when it was time to leave,

gracefully it knew 

life was a gift.

Corners of my kingdom ... 

 

 

 

A row of classic red phone boxes in Covent Garden, London  . . . 

 

 

And that's my daybook for this week!
