One More Day...

One more day on the farm with the critters, Olympics, sewing, spinning, cooking, all the things I love to do to relax. I have so many ideas in my head sometimes it interferes with doing anything at all. I have to sit down and make myself focus. I stayed up as late as I could to watch the Games last night. Love the ice skating but have to confess I really enjoyed the snowboardcross, the snow boarders racing together. Very exciting. Lindsey Vonn will finally ski tomorrow and I'll be at work!! Not crazy about the ice hockey. I have a stack of bags that I cut out in a crazed hour or so, all the pieces in a pile. This is not the best way to do it. I usually cut out a bag and put all the pieces in a sack, to be sewn at another time. Now I have to sort all these pieces out and put them in order. I'm anxious to sew this bag as the fabric is terrific. It makes me happy to have a finished bag hanging from the ceiling (the only safe place in my apartment) ready to introduce to the world. Sometimes I get tired of a fabric, another reason to use high-end remnants. I can only make so many bags from a small piece. Sometimes I'm crazy about a fabric and wish I had more of it - like the wild horse tapestry that sold so well over the years. And so it goes. I'm making lentil soup today as Matt is away and he hates it. I'll live on it for a couple of days. Have to suit up and get out to do morning chores. I'm so pokey slow in the barn, as I like to spend time with my animals, but I'll feel better in the cold air. I've decided to make my hay mow a walking track. It's a gigantic space with good ventilation, protected from the weather. Don't know why I haven't thought of it before. The hay layer makes the ground feel like sand on a beach. I might push it back with a shovel to get to the wood floor. Billy Goat and I took a practice walk around last night, with all the other critters watching us with intense curiousity - what the heck are they doing? Gentle snow falling now, so good to be home.
