  • Simple Woman's Daybook, June 29

    Outside my window it is still cool, still gray, still rainy. New norms for June weather are being set.

    I am thinking about perseverance.

    I am thankful that love conquers all.

    From the kitchen the make bread/buy bread debate is still going on.

    This week's learning room is the living room. I hadn't posted an entry here for some time, as it was an entry designed for the mothers of homeschooled children. But I seem to be homeschooling myself these days. So this week's learning room is the living room, where I learned to knit a mitered square using the book Module Magic. It's a technique I really like, mainly because an error doesn't destroy a whole garment.

    I am wearing a terry robe my mother made. It's a huge zip-front caftan thing, wonderful after a shower.

    I am reading Pride and Prejudice. I never wanted to get through it until I saw the PBS version.

    I am hearing a few birds chirping determinedly.

    I am hoping to finish up some projects.

    I am creating curtains. Or I had better be.  

    I am praying for, at this point, miracles.

    Around the house there are boxes to go through. And decisions to make about the contents of those boxes.

    One of my favorite things is being able to walk to many places I need to get to.

    A few plans for the rest of the week include buying the muslin for those curtains, and making those curtains.

    Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you.

    My knit mitered square. I've made four. About 65 more, and I'd have a sweater!
