steaming & scheming



today is a dark, dark, wet, cold, dark day.

i'm about to take a super steamy bath. my legs are still incredibly sore from the hike i took sunday. i have to take another hike soon so that my legs don't get so sore when hike. but for now, i'm hoping a steamy bath will bring some relief.

if only i could take the laptop into the bathtub.

thank you for bearing with last night's rant. i feel a lot better. i just seems like everything is moving so fast this year. thanksgiving next week? i still can't believe it. some friends invited us over and i am so relieved. i just wasn't up for doing all the cooking on my own, and just for the three of us. so much effort for so many left overs.

after my bath today i have to run some errands.



tashi told me last night that she loves to sew and embroider. the above is a little pillow she made recently at school. those are her initials. she thinks it's really cool that her initials backwards spell hat.

so i think i'm going to put together a big sewing basket for her. it will include some embroidery hoops, floss, fabric scraps, her own needles, pins and . . . what else? i'd like to throw in some sewing related projects. does anyone have any suggestions for finding hip sewing kits for kids? anything else i might want to add to the basket?

ok time to steam. but first, a cozy photo of loki. a reminder to stay warm, dry and bright eyed!

Hope the weather was better for you today, and that the steaming-hot bath did the trick! Wish I could send you some of our weather, crispy cold frosty mornings for the last few days, but beautifully sunny, producing autumn at its most inspiring. Hope the "HAT" is doing well (and I must go leave a message on her blog too) and Dan too (loved the video clips of the band)! The 'rant' is entirely acceptable in my books, and I share your views about it being the solstice we celebrate, rather than the commercial craze to consume consume consume ! (David)
