the week in review: oct 11-17

it was a very busy week but not responsibly busy. i didn't work on resumes or look for work though the mister did. instead, i made lists and things. i painted and stitched and baked and glued and took a whole lotta photos. we did an easy trek along a bluff overlooking the pacific, enjoyed a lot of good homecookin', had a family night that involved yahtzee. watched a couple of flicks and enjoyed a stormy day. a pretty good week. yep, a pretty good week.

yesterday: thursday, oct 14

yesterday was one of those crazy-busy-manic days where i trip-trapped all about going non-stop making, doing, baking, writing. just the day before while enjoying a bite with a new crafty acquaintance we were talking about how we work best when there are multitudes to do. where you are in a virtual dance, twirling and swirling this way and that all the while hashing out oodles of little projects. the light throughout the day was so pretty, i had to stop the busy every once in awhile to take pictures. it is finally cooling down. phew!i worked on articles, tip-tapping away. i sat on the floor and cut up sweater after pretty woolen sweater to prepare for a nifty blog project with a fellow blogger (details soon). i baked cupcakes and finished toppers and stitched up garlands and dabbled in a little paint even. it was wonderful and so nice to be busy without worry. not that the worry isn't there, it is but it at least played the part of wallflower as i danced my little heart out with my current crush of craft. today i am doing a small bit of the same. there are still many projects but one in particular needs my focus as there is a deadline and i was commissioned so i suppose that takes precedence. in the meantime i will write up a few post, photograph a few projects and cook a delightfully fragrant fall dinner for the family a-go-go. happy friday!

yesterday

it was supposed to be kooky hot but it wasn't, which made for a busy day. a good kind of busy. the mister spent time on errands while i puttered about working on DIY blog posts on the 'do and got to crafting it up just a smidge. the witch-baby enjoyed the sun, i made pesto from the garden basil and we enjoyed an impromptu cocktail hour where it was decided that pink ladies taste like cough syrup and a horse's neck can be tasty if you use a really good ginger ale.
