My dear friend Laura sent me a box of “happy mail” that included a variety of stickers and my 2023 word: Happier. Thanks Laura and Jeff! Made me happier, for sure.
Recently, I bought a new iPhone; I intended to have the old phone become a backup; somehow, my “old phone” disappeared. I was totally baffled. What had I done with it?! I was convinced the “Time Thieves” had somehow managed to get involved. Where might those phones be? For several days, I methodically went through every box, drawer and shelf in my craft room – the place I remembered I last had the phones. Nothing. I decided that I had one last place to look: my sewing studio… Holding my breath, I opened a drawer… THERE THEY WERE! WHEW! I was one happy camper !
I’m finding I’m really attracted to butterflies; I think this attraction has been around for a while, as I look through my art, quilting stash and photo archives. I saw this display today on my trip to the library to pick up a couple reserves. Fun! And the tag line is spot on. Makes me happier.
Saturday, 10 June, was “World Knit in Public Day.” The weather was perfect, low 80s and low humidity. I decided to walk to Zeke’s, our neighborhood coffee shop that is definitely open now that Covid is on the wane. (I got my 4th booster 6.14.23!) I retrieved a knit piece that will eventually be a dishcloth; it’s a simple garter stitch and I thought it might be a good way resurrect my knitting.
I shall make one more attempt to reteach myself to “cast on,” a definite required knitting technique.
On this the second day of summer, it rains! Welcome! The upside is the heat associated with a DC summer is not a factor, at least not today! That indeed makes me happier as I am not a fan of summer heat nor winter cold.
Now that it is summer, what’s making you happier?
Cheers~

Oh the Happier sign is lovely! And it is so good to see you with yarn on your needles. That rain is telling you to have an inside day 😉

Phones in a drawer, haha! I’ve made a note about butterflies ;-). Lovely yellow.
A reprieve in a week’s rain so I could mow yesterday made me happier. Vugs!

I am definitely happy about getting rain here after something like 20 days without it — I am very happy when Mother Nature gives me a break from watering the garden! I’m also happy that the school year is over, which means more time with my kiddo and less-frantic mornings.

A post from you … rain (aka “free water”) and now SUN! (for the first time in a few days) … playing fetch with Lucy … and a dig through my crafting closet that unearthed a long-forgotten project (stay tuned!)

What fun, thoughtful friends to send you a Happier ‘care package.’ I don’t know which is more fun — slipping those treasures into an envelope and sending them to someone you *know* will be delighted…or opening up that kind of envelope yourself?!
And Butterflies + Happier…what a pair.

I love the butterflies and accompanying sign. The yellow in the dishcloth is such a pretty color. My garden makes me happier as does looking forward to a coffee date with two good friends on Friday.
