:: right now ::

I don't know if you like SouleMama, but if you do, you will probably recognize this.

 Right now, I am...

:: watching the leaves on the tree across the street change colour. It is happening so fast I think I actually saw another one turn yellow (ok brown) just now. 

:: staring at a pile of laundry that needs to be folded, a pile of fabric scraps that need to be sewn, a pile of buttons that need to be put on almost-done-knitting projects, and at a pile of cards that I meant to send last year. 

:: thinking I should really follow through with my ideas a bit better. 

:: hoping to find some inspiration so I can get those needles clacking again. 

:: hearing the hum of the dishwasher. I love having a dishwasher. 

:: wondering where we will be a year from now. In Kelowna, I'm sure, but where will we live, what Erik will be doing, what our lives will look like? 

:: feeling grateful for a weekend full of family, friends and food. 

:: wishing that the sun I see streaming into my neighbours windows would shine in mine. Sadly we have no direct sunlight. 

:: planning a weekend away with my girlfriends. 

:: waiting for some lovely fabric I ordered from Hawthorne Threads to arrive. 

:: anticipating making some of these. I think it's time for Mama and me to have a craft date. And wouldn't my nieces look darling in those?

:: deleting photos from the computer. Maybe it will be a little less overwhelming to put them into photobooks now. Or when I'm done purging my massive excess of photos... I think it's going to be a long process. 

:: smelling the beeswax candle burning on the table beside me. 

:: feeling irritated by the hair that has been shed all over my floor. We are adding to it quicker than I can rid my house of it!!

:: sipping on some tea. 

:: wishing my dear niece a happy birthday. I cannot believe she is nineteen! 

:: begging time to slow down just a little bit -- I'm not ready to leave yet. 

:: stressing just a wee bit about planning our trip. 

:: getting very excited about traveling all the same. 

:: wishing you a lovely Thursday afternoon where you are!
