good morning.

I got up at 6:30a.m. today. I know that may be a normal time to wake up for many of you, but for me that is early. So I'm kind of proud of myself for actually getting up. And I got to bed just past midnight. I'm a night owl. I've been like that most of my life. I like my sleep and I like going to bed late. But there's also a joy in waking up early. It's silent. All I hear are the birds singing. It's still a little dark out, but gradually it gets brighter and brighter. So I go both ways sometimes and since I've got a lot of projects to complete, I thought I would get a head start.

I also got up early because this evening I'm going to learn about all the different kinds of scotch and bourbon. I can't imagine coming home and working after that! So I guess after tonight I will be an expert. har har.

After looking at this gorgeous printing, I want to print SO BAD. I must resist. I haven't the time! Oh why do I always want to get into a new project when I have way too many other projects to complete first?

It's a beautiful day!

it's very late::early

Yes it is me again and guess what time it is? 3:21a.m. Right on the dot. It's been a long day. Filled with lots of things I didn't expect (some not so good; some pretty good; others really great) and a few things I did expect. It's been exhausting. Going to a cupping at the coffee shop in the afternoon and my sister and her friend Jenny coming for a visit. They are fast asleep upstairs, while here I am sewing sewing sewing. I somehow got past my tired point and am totally awake right now. I've been sewing since 1ish. But I felt like sewing so I decided to seize upon this moment and sew instead of sleep. Plus somehow I needed this moment of awakedness to spend by myself. Too much people people going on and I needed some alone time. I'm like that sometimes. Too much excitement and I just need to get away by myself and do something with my hands. I'm getting tired, but I need to get this work done so I figure I will try and squeeze a tiny bit more energy out and then get to bed. Well the iron is sufficiently heated by now, so I'm going to say goodnight/goodmorning to you all once again. Tomorrow I am looking forward to a cinnamon roll and some lovely Rwanda coffee in my little French press. Perhaps that will be enough to entice me into not sleeping into all hours of the day.
