- I had a wonderful day at the Science Centre with Sarah, Skylar, and Laura. It was just the fun I needed. I learned all sorts of stuff about butterflies and saw animated fake maggots. It was a full day. The only disappointment was the picture I took of a dead mouse and her babies didn't work out. I was really looking forward to making my sister hurl.

- Though he was in Maiden the day of the trouble, my Dad, my step-Mom, and her family are all safe. Ukraine is in turmoil and it is hard to know how close people I love are to the chaos.
No matter how long it's been since USSR,
Ukraine still has the memories ever present.
- I had time to sit down and write yesterday. It was wonderful. I flew through an essay (is that the right word?) on what I think about aging, and finished another excerpt in my Memory short story. (That's coming tomorrow!!)
- I finished a great car seat cover/ poncho for a friend who commissioned me. It turned out so well, I think I will have to add it to my regular rotation and gift basket!
Chocolate and pink poncho/car seat cover - The sun and warm has been beautiful this week - even though it did lead to more snow. At least the dog's booties fit well and he only puts up minimal passive-agressive fuss when I put them on him.
What are you thankful for this week?
I am thankful that Ukraine has reached the point that people are willing to fight for their freedom. I only hope that like many revolutions, the replacement is not worse than the original.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, Dad. Glad things settled now.
DeleteI am thankful that I am flying home to the East COast this weekend. There is no better pick me up than that of going home. Wish I could do it more often.
ReplyDeleteI love when everyone comes home. I'm sure your family will love having you there, Janet!
DeleteI am grateful that the warming temperatures this week thawed the frozen pipes in our downstairs bathroom. It has been unusable since the cold set in in early November!
ReplyDeleteWow, Alia! You guys are lucky nothing burst!!
DeleteWhat a relief it must have been to hear that your family is all safe. I hope they continue to be safe.
ReplyDeleteLove the poncho. The flower detail and the pink edging is beautiful.
I really am thankful for that too, Amy. It worried me a little.
DeleteThe poncho turned out awesome. I couldn't be happier!
