FOR TODAY, October 13, 2020
Outside my window ...
Its cold and dark. It will be a while before the sun rises. I am waking up pretty early these days. But then again, I have always been an early riser. I had a bear dream night before last. Its been a very long time since I dreamt about bears. When I do they are chasing me. It could be the bears are my fears. Maybe I need to face them and just stare them down. Who knows! I have always had very vivid dreams.
I am thinking ...
It is starting to look like I will not be able to bring anything with me, except my suitcase and I don't even have one of those yet. The cost of shipping anything over to Canada is out of my reach. I can't believe that once again I will have to start over with just the clothes on my back, and for something that is not my doing or my fault. Losing all the things my mother gave me, all my art, everything. It breaks my heart. It is a bit soul destroying, but it is what it is. And even losing everything is still worth the price to pay to have my safety, dignity and freedom. I need a miracle . . .
I am thankful for ...
My faith and the love of family and friends, for without that I am not sure how I would go on.
In the Kitchen ...
In the kitchen today, Herbed Turkey Burgers. No roasted Thanksgiving Turkey for me yesterday, but I did have a tasty turkey burger. There is always next year.
On my "To Cook" list ...
Taste of Home. Finnish Christmas Cookies.
Good to know ...
I am creating ...
In all truth not a lot, but I can dream. One day . . .
Madamoiselle Be. Stunning examples of needlework.
Lilypond on Instagram . . .
Bellisima Kids. Adorable House Pin Cushion.
Cosy Project. Margeaux Davis.
Frog and Cast. The cutest frog and toad knitting pattern. Not free, nor cheap, but adorable.
I am reading ...
I just can't get into a book at the moment. Basically I am reading through conference talks, my scriptures, etc. Things that are short and sweet. Uplifting stuff. One day I will read again and enjoy it.
Dreaming about ...
These matching dresses were worn by the Stetson Sisters, granddaughters of the founder of Stetson hats. They were worn in 1927.
Pretty bun ties . . .
Sigh . . .
Soft and furry paws . . .
So beautiful . . .
Something to watch ...
Larkise to Candleford. A bit of escapism . . .
Makes me smile ...
Only a cat . . .
Corners of my kingdom ...
