It has been very cold and a little snow each day. Perfect weather to stay inside. I haven’t been able to get my Christmas decorations down but this MLK weekend I will. Time has been the issue for me.

I plan to attend a quilt guild sew in today after I gather my items this morning after I finish my coffee. I hope to bind a twin quilt in the languishing pile. I have been am ambivalent about going because I think it isn’t really productive however I realized this am that isn’t the point. It building friendships and community which I need to work on. So I am going.

I have been really working on the analog life project and trying to use my phone with more intention. It has been hard to do this week so I am keeping my hands busy knitting. I signed up for a pen pal and that will help me slow down and write mindful thoughtful letters. I think analog life is a great spin on slow mindful living. Its free but to support the artist doing the project I bought her super cute analog life member bundle. It’s absolutely adorable.

Overall, I am feeling tired after work and the weekends seem so short! I have been traveling a lot since the holidays so the next month I think we’re home and I need to really make some progress on things like decluttering the sewing room, get the sorted fabric to donate out of the house , then reset and organize. For a little boost I have been watching Diane in Denmark’s tiny tidy videos in the mornings! They really help inspire me to do one simple thing a day.

I need some sun to give me energy! It has been a very short amount of time it peeks out from behind the snow clouds but it feels wonderful when it does.
