Sleepy Sunday

at by

This is how I feel today. Even though I’ve been up for a while, I feel groggy and sleepy. Coffee? Check. Some breakfast? Check. And I still feel out of it!

Ah well. There are days like that. Since it turned colder yesterday and is very windy today, I’m thinking it might be a flannel pajamas day. Anyone want to join me?

Some flowers to brighten your day:

I took this about a week ago. Unfortunately, the tulips have since left us. But the alstromeria is hanging in there.

Are you hanging around the house today, or do you have activities planned?

Shipping Department

Greetings from my shipping facility.

The kitchen. In my pajamas (of course.) Note box of donuts over on the counter.
My assistant, Riley.
This morning was all about wrapping and boxing.

Then a trip to the post office. The scarves are on their way! And one of Meredith’s shawls sold this morning. I guess we have a little business! I have all sorts of ideas for more handmade treasures. So does Mer.

Thank you for your orders. Thank you for your support.

As you can see, I’m still playing with fonts – this time with my watermark. I really like this one – unfortunately, it’s on Picnik. Darn it! Why the heck does Google have to mess with Picnik? I wish they’d rethink that ill-advised decision. Picnik is still the easiest, best way to make a collage and to edit photos. Google, are you listening?

What are your plans for the day?

Early, Early Morning

Why was I awake at 5 a.m.? A case of the middle-of-the-night worry brain. Do you ever come down with that affliction? I sure do. So here I sit, drinking coffee, eyes a little irritated, pondering the day ahead.

Thank you for all the warm well wishes on the opening of our shop. And thank you to those of you who purchased one of our creations. I hope to get those packages out today – tomorrow at the latest. By the way, Meredith’s woven shawls are rectangular, light as air, and much more beautiful than my photos of them indicate. I have one and I wear it all the time. She’s got one in the mail to me (for the shop) that is a beautiful, ever-so-subtle sparkly gray.

I just listed another Obsession Scarf. This one is a gorgeous shade of Apple Green. The yarn is a combination of silk and bamboo – oh my gosh, it’s so silky and soft to the touch. I would wear this one all year round. Believe me, if I could keep it for myself, I’d do it in a heartbeat.

Some of you wrote me saying the link to the Etsy Shop wasn’t working. Every time I’ve tried it, it has worked. Don’t click on the Etsy Shop label. It’s just a sidebar label. Either click on one of the individual photos, or click on ScoutHarper (in blue) at the bottom of the widget. If you’re still having trouble, it may be a problem with your browser. Here is the link.

Playing with BeFunky. This is called Orton Style and gives a photo a sort of artsy blur. Interesting. Let’s move on to some flowers hit by this morning’s sunlight.

I see that my boy Riley is waking up (he always sleeps in.) Have to go help him up.

And something outside has caught Miss Scout’s eye.

Playing with the font again. Yay or Nay?

Have a wonderful Friday.
