ReFrame

It's been a long couple of weeks, capped off by a long business trip this week. Thankfully, the training I attended was excellent. As I was flying home yesterday, I decided it was time to reframe my attitude and stress. There are too many good things happening to get mired in negativity.

So on our usual evening walk, I looked at the surroundings with a tighter crop and found these...

 

And then we ended with this little lovey...

TIme, time, time.

It was a beautiful day today. A really lovely spring preview. Even Roscoe did some sunbathing in the beautiful sunshine.

For the second day, I thought I had an hour, maybe two left on my skirt panel. Oh how wrong I was... It is worth the time to complete the project with consistent detailing. The results are lovely.

This got me thinking about slow crafting and time. Why do knitters develop such a stash, and the same stashes of fabric for those who quilt and sew. Is it that we don't estimate the amount of time for projects, is it the pretty colors and patterns? I would like to have my skirt complete by late April, but after the last two days, I am not sure that is a realistic timeline. More time and meditation is needed in my life to think through the issues of slow craft and time...

Winter wonderland - p1

It has been cold and snowy here for a few days. Odd for Denver, where we generally have a cold day or two, then several warm days to get rid of the snow and ice.

Taking advantage of the prolonged cold, I took some photos of the beautiful winter wonderland.

Happy Winter!

Roscoe and I did a quick morning hike. The shadows were beautiful.
