this (retro) moment

20130104-220211.jpg

A lot of people have told me they miss my “this moment” posts. I’ve decided to start them up again, on Fridays, but I can’t guarantee that I’ll always play by the rules. The post is supposed to come from that week, but I’ve got a lot of post-worthy pics since the last time I regularly did this.

I’m also not supposed to use any words. Whatever. Although, I don’t have much to say about this one. Umbrella on a sunny day after a blizzard? I got nothing.

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?

{this moment} – A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. Join in the fun here.

this moment: new year’s eve

new year's eve

I’ve been going through pictures from our East Coast vacation and thought I might do a few moments from the past month. This was on New Year’s Eve in Columbia, MD. I’m loving the sparkling white bokeh.

My daughter and I have been doing a lot of reading, lately. I’m going to try and get caught up on my book reviews for the blog. Plus, I haven’t forgotten about the craft book giveaways. More of those to come, too!
