last week in pictures / feb 4 ~ 10

This week seemed to fly by. So much to do. So little time. I am in the process of tailoring a planner to fit my own needs. It makes me aware of how much I want to do and how much more time I would need to do it all! But it IS helping me schedule my days to better manage the time I’m given.

This week’s first picture is of two Putz houses I finished last week. Same pattern, different sizes. The smaller one is reduced to 80% the size of the larger one. Easy to do, using a printer to change the size of the pattern.

February 4 is my best friend’s birthday. We were college roommates and remain best friends 40+ years later. Me on the left. MJ on the right. In her boyfriend’s room. Now her husband.

College days.

I am working on Irish cottage Putz houses this week. On Tuesday, I cut them out and assembled them.

As I mentioned, I am working on a planner that fits my own needs, and on Wednesday, I worked out the kinds of pages and categories I want in my planner.

Thursday, I began painting the Putz and I found two greeting cards I could use for the bases of two of the Irish cottages. I also ordered some vintage St. Patrick’s Day postcards from Etsy to use for more bases.

Friday I was up early enough to catch the first rays of sunlight in the craft room. The room has a large east window and two large south windows. The space between the cabinets is the doorway to the hall.

I also made thatching for the Irish cottages.

Can you guess what this is?

It’s the condensation on the underside of the lid of my Clever Coffee Dripper.

I like this little coffee maker. It makes one perfect cup of coffee for me each morning. I’m not a coffee drinker in the summer months, as a general rule, but in the winter, I’ve come to appreciate it.

The sunlight hit it just right and it made a striking pattern. Bokeh, bokeh, bokeh!

When Clark the cat gets a pet, he likes to tuck his head under your arm.

I called his name and he popped up just long enough for me to snap this picture.

Hi, Clark
Saturday

The sunset was pretty Saturday evening. I am glad the days are getting longer again. That does a lot for my sense of well-being.

And then, there’s today. Cold, cloudy, grey, and icy. But the tulips give me hope.

Last week was quiet, but busy. Now to get ready for the coming week.
