photos from instagram

this week I:

crocheted a gift card sleeve — It was a nice project to use up leftover sock yarn.

watched the most amazing fireworks — from my front lawn. My neighbors put on a pretty awesome show.

took lots of photos of fireworks — I’ve given up trying to capture the perfect nighttime explosion, so this year I focused on what happens on the ground.

spent hours sorting — legos, cars, beads, books, tinker toys, stuffed animals, etc. and put them back where they belong. The next day my daughter took them all out again.

took lots of photos of planes — visited the Strategic Air and Space Museum. I couldn’t fit an entire B-52 Bomber in my viewfinder, so I focused on details: wings, cockpits, engines, propellers.

made pesto — with kale, beet greens and italian parsley. It was awesome.

read I Remember Nothing — by Nora Ephron. Next up is I Feel Bad About My Neck. I love library e-books.

What have you been up to this week?

this moment becomes this week

this week I:

watched my daughter have the time of her life with my parents – so thankful that they take the time to visit us in Nebraska

updated more on instagram, twitter and facebook than the blog – need to start using that wordpress app a little more

crocheted little pincushions out of my dyed yarn – just need to add fabric and stuffing and they’ll be finished

started Ballet Beautiful – thought it would be easier than P90X. It’s not.

cleaned piles off my sewing table – still haven’t sat down to actually sew something

listened to Mighty Be Our Powers – continue to be inspired by Leymah Gbowee

thought a lot about what the media does to women – proud of Ashley Judd for fighting back (her essay and interview)

vowed to start going to bed earlier and waking up earlier – I’d really like some quiet time in the beginning of the day when my brain is fresh. We’ll see how it goes.

How was your week?
