Part Of Someone’s Life

- robin

It is Wednesday, but feels like it is Thursday. This week is dragging and it is going to be 100 degrees tomorrow. It is a long, hot week. {yes, and I am still bitching about the heat}

Larry is in Baltimore for a few days. The house is very quiet. I believe that I miss Libby Pug Dog more when I am alone than any other time. Lauren and Jami are always suggesting that we rescue a senior pup. I just cannot.

My days are busy when Larry is gone. Exercise, reading and projects that take hours of non interrupted concentration. Larry distracts me in the most wonderful of ways.

Today the project is ….for a favorite cousin in PA. She is expecting her third child in December and usually reads Blog. Its ok, she can catch a single glimpse of the gift-to-be.

I have made a quilt for each of her children. Now number three, child AND quilt. I am honored.

The beginning of a quilt is like a blank canvas…and once you start the quilt, it has a personality of its own. Finishing a quilt is the best….adding a binding that will become part of somones life.

When Larry is out of town, I focus on being productive instead of busy.

Happy Wednesday that feels like Thursday.

Love you beyond quilt squares.

Quiet Tuesday

- robin

Larry is off to emergency meetings.

A new hurricane is brewing  {Irma}

and

he has many clients/restaurants in FLA.

who are bracing for a new storm.

It is super quiet in The Cottage right now.

My work area is mess.

It does not inspire me at all

but today I will sew.

Just sew and sketch.

here is the funky dress I am making.

I am making it out of an easy dot fabric,

and I figure that I am either

going to love this dress or hate it.

{I will let you know tomorrow.}

I have so much to do today…..

best get busy.

Be happy….

Love you.

It Is That Early

- robin

I am up early and feel wonderful.

Birds are not even singing, it is that early.

Today is a busy day for sure.

I must return to the hospital for tests.

But…..

I have been keeping my hands busy at home.

I have had no desire to paint yet,

but I have been working.

There is a little girl in our life who will be joined

by a new sister this summer.

I am taking advantage of this time

to get things made for the arrival.

Baby Sister sweater and blanket ~ done.

Baby Sister bath blanket made of luscious chenille~ Half done

This is  the Aran sweater for Big Sister.

I started the front yesterday.

All of the different stitches are my favorite thing to knit.

What is it they say about busy hands?

Thank you for all of the messages and calls.

Emails and texts.

Life is very good.

Love you.
