Pumpkin Sunrise

Last week Hege from Cloudberry  invited me to join a blog hop and answer some questions about creativity.  So here it goes... 1.  What have been the doings/makings/scribblings at your desk/making table this week? My desk has been a landing place for various projects to be tagged or gifted.  I've done some super secret knitting plus I have some note cards to write out in the next few weeks.  Soon I'll be balling up another skein of yarn for another project but I'd like to finish the three projects I have currently on the needles:  a sock, a shawl and a blanket all on my Ravelry page .

How was your weekend?

Each day begins in quiet and slow purposeful movements and somewhere during the day the speed hastens and I wonder where has the day gone?  More importantly, I question "what have I achieved today".  This week has revealed to me the many pockets of time that I waste. So I turned off notifications on my phone, I was checking and rechecking the notifications then clicking the links and then time was siphoned away from me.  Just turning off the notifications gave me some peace. You know I love the internet and wouldn't live without it, but too much of anything isn't healthy.  I've commented before on my unplugged weekends and my time away from the computer leads to joy and  happiness.  These days that have past have been stressful and busy and capturing the peace and quiet that my essence requires was important. Living a life intently gives me the happiness that I crave.  I don't want one specific hobby defining my entire day. Last night as I r
