ROCKING CHAIRS AND SUNSETS

People are just as wonderful
as sunsets if you let them be.
When I look at a sunset, I
don't find myself saying,
'Soften the orange a bit on
the right corner.' I don't try
to control a sunset. I watch
with awe as it unfolds.

I overdid it just a little bit
this week. The temperatures
have been in the mid 80's and
I wanted to get out and explore,
a little too much for my broken
toe, so now I am on rocking
chair lock down for then next
few days, sigh. I do not have
a lot of patience for things
like this which is making
me a little stir crazy. Today
I did discover this which I
think would help my mood
tremendously.

One of the reasons I was out
and about was because I needed
to collect mushrooms to try this.
Have you tried it before? It
really works! I did a few practice
sheets and now would love to
make some nice prints to frame.

I found a new tattoo I want to
get, I think it's me, what do you
think?

Well, I am going to sit in my
rocking chair, knit on my sock
and watch an amazing sunset,
they have been especially awesome
lately. Sunday the high is only
going to be 72 and we are suppose
to see lows in the 40's!!! Finally. :)

Enjoy a beautiful October weekend.

Love,
Tracey

  2. i love that tattoo! not sure i could get one on my finger, though. i used to want one on the side of my foot but i'm so ticklish that it could not possibly end well. (:

    i hope your toe recovers quickly! i, too, have little patience for being idle (though now that i'm schooling two of the boys there's so very little time to *be* idle!). *hugs*

  9. Coming from one who has broken her toe & foot twice...take it easy! And I know how very hard that is. The bright side: more knitting time! Feel better soon, dear Tracey! <3

  11. I so know what you mean. Stuck with chronic tennis elbow here and have been instructed to do nothing. Yeah... I'm so good at doing nothing! So sorry you are getting restless. It,s the worse feeling.

    The mushroom prints are gorgeous! Must try that this week-end. We have so many growing in our yard!

    Have a lovely week-end. xo

  12. Cute tattoo, but ouch - on the thumb bone? Sorry your toes are hurting. At least that means you have plenty of time to knit! Let those boys cook up something for you for a change! The mushroom idea is really cool!

  14. Ugh to having to stay still, but sometimes our bodies force us to do what our minds don't want to. Keep resting, thank goodness you have knitting.
    Love the tattoo. I vote yes!

  20. Beautiful photos, love the mushrooms ones especially. Those prints look so fun to make, I bet my boys would like to make some of their own - what a great idea.
    BTW - I think that might have to be the most lovely back and white photo of a foot I have ever seen :) Hope it keeps mending and that your yarn supply never ceases to disappoint while it does. xoxo
