What Are You Doing?

When you are so disappointed to see the day end, because you have to quit what you love doing? What are you doing when you can hardly get yourself to eat or go to bed because it will interrupt your bliss? Where are you when you can't believe how many hours just passed because your immersion made you unaware of time?

I know I find myself most lost in time when my favorite people are around me -- doesn't matter what we're doing really. And I'll be really, really lost in time if you give me those favorite people and put me in a room stuffed with stuff. Markers, beads, fabric, vintage trim and trinkets, old books and records, dolls and toys, sewing machines, tools, papers and graphics, and the list is embarrassingly long!

If my enormous pile of stash didn't just give me the giggles every time, I'd probably be crying instead, lol, over what I've spent through the years, or how much sooner my husband could've retired, or how much more my family could have seen of me had I not had my myself buried in some project. :o)

Whatevah, whatevah. It's still where and how I'm happiest -- just like today.

My mom made some of the cutest little sweater ornaments today, and we both worked on all kinds of things in general. The mini sweaters have the cutest little insets of fabric under the knitting, with Christmas decorations besides.



Here's some of my stash that I turned into something to frame for one of my mom's powder rooms. The cover illustration seemed so perfect for the occasion! Oh, that chubbiness of Jerry, he's a cartoon character ferpetessake and I could just squish him with kisses.
