WISHING FOR MAY/HOPING FOR SUNSHINE; Ocean Park-WA


Both of us woke up this morning sneezing, and groaning with sinus headaches: Holland drank coffee ☕ … I brewed a cup of tea ☕. My stomach is so full of sinus drainage that coffee would not have been a good idea.

While we drank our warming beverages and shook the morning cobwebs from our thoughts; I checked my FB Page for PM's - then cruised over to my Blog to see what what happening over there. I answered a post notification from Paula … and saw that 2 Blogs had featured a few of my design patterns:

Headache, runny nose, sneezing, & burning eyes; the 'joys' of WA State. All year 'round.
MOD was featured on Thursday's Craft Blog Hop ;-)
2 of MOD's were featured on Sunday's Craft Blog Hop ;-)


As I was shutting my laptop down, Holland suggested we get out of the house for some fresh air - I readily agreed. We watched the waves (and birds) for about half an hour; then came back home.

I knew I would be in no shape ðŸ¤® to attend Becky's Celebration of Life - so, I jetted a text off to Ramona … only to find that it had come and gone: and I had missed it.

I don't even know what day of the week it is, anymore …
I already missed it - and wasn't even aware; this sinus headache is debilitating.

It was on the 26th - today is the 28th ðŸ˜³

While my poor body tries to beat back the effects of allergy season, I'm sleeping so much that I don't know what day it is, what time it is - or if I'm even waking up in the same day's time that I slipped off to dreamland in ðŸ›ŒðŸ’¤ðŸ™„

Despite dealing with allergies, Holland & I both worked on things that needed attention: Holland worked on some things pertaining to Independence, that needed attention - and I worked on a pair of slippers that will be going to Longview with Holland when he drives there, again.


Slippers; I still have to stitch them together; Holland has  been busy fixing things, & researching ways to make life on the road easier.

I'll be glad when May arrives.

Hopefully the warmth of steady ðŸŒž, will arrive, also.

RAINY DAY HAPPINESS; Woodland-WA


June 2nd: We simply cannot escape the rain … it seems to follow us wherever we go :-(

So, we each used this in-house day to cater to our individual language of love: Holland cooked a delicious meal … and I designed & crafted 2 more little Angel Baby Blankets :-)

Today was a good low-key Sunday; despite the continual gloomy gray clouds and constant state of wet, we were both feeling blessed in our forced cooped-up situation.

Rain - it just follows us from pillar to post …
An interesting 2-sided pattern; very simple, very easy to work.
Around noon, a new neighbor started to set up …
Holland made bread dough for Supper - no recipe, just a "feel" for it.
Shaped into little Freestyle Round Breads ;-)
Fresh baked bread topped with soppy joe mixture; YUM!
Holland enjoying a little siesta following Supper …

I finished this little boy ABB … and started one for a girl; same pattern ;-)
