wall

Friends, I hit a wall today. After nearly three weeks of ENDLESS sickness*, I woke up this morning feeling like I couldn’t do it today. I just couldn’t face another day of dispensing meds (It’s gotten so complicated that I’ve got a schedule on my white board of who and when and how much), sanitizing, LAUNDRY, constant hand washing, supervising of hand washing and arguing about the necessity of hand washing. I HAD to get THE HECK OUT OF MY HOUSE! As soon as I put the kids down for a nap/quiet time, I TOOK OFF** and headed to one of my favourite local stores- a fabric/yarn store in a hundred year old house with the most drool worthy collection of fabrics and yarns. I feasted my eyes on the beautiful colours and patterns and reveled at how incredibly QUIET and PEACEFUL it was in there. I would have laid down on one of their beautiful quilts if I felt like I could have gotten away with it.

Instead, I came home with a skein of GORGEOUS brushed suri in whipped cream, a set of my favourite bamboo double pointed needles and some fabric for a sewing project I sketched out this morning.

A little creative inspiration and I’m feeling much better!

* The run down includes the PLAGUE, double ear infection x’s two kids, chest infection, pinworms and most recently, impetigo + eye infection.
