Emotions be like

August 1- heavy heart today as I woke to the news that my sister-in-law died during the night. She had a heart attack yesterday evening, followed by bypass surgery which she did not recover from.

Things that are happening right now:

• 100 day project "100 days of finish in 15"
• Learning Spanish
• raising cats
• audiobook: Kind is the New Classy
• bullet journaling

If ever something I send doesn't get to you, please let me know so I have a chance to correct it. As much as we rely on the postal service, they too make mistakes and lose things. I get it.(where are my keys again?)

My word for 2020: LIGHT

My verse for 2020:
Psalm 119:105
Your word is a lamp to guide my feet, and a light for my path

My question for 2020:
What can I accomplish in 15 minutes?

Things I like to make sometimes:

ATC's
Mini Zines
Mug Rugs
Knitted things
Crochet things
Messes
Decisions
Me Time

Stuff About Me

I just turned 41 in February.
For the last 17 years, I've been married to Dave. He's an engineer and he has a little Cessna he likes to fly around for fun.
I'm an enneagram 5.
Moved around a lot growing up...lived in Michigan, Germany, Washington, South Carolina, Massachusetts, and North Carolina. There was some back and forth between a few of those, so it's more moves than it sounds like!
Right now I'm happily settled in the NC mountains.

I'm totally a cat person. These days I spend my cat time with three "formerly feral" kitties, who have adopted us.

I'm on Instagram... @ tigerlilyknotwise

Food: milk chocolate, Russell Stover, Crunch bars, anything with pretzels and chocolate, peanut butter, flavored oatmeal packets. See dislikes for the no-thank you's ;)

Colors: Purples tend to be my favorite. I also like greens and blues and earthy colors. I’ve really been into orange lately too.

Animals: Cats, deer, foxes

On November 17, 2017 I had to say goodbye to my sweet Pippin. I miss this little face every day.

• vanilla scent
• crudeness, rudeness and nudeness
• Only known allergy is cucumber (I know, right?)
• cheese crackers
• raspberry...the fruit, the flavor and the scent
• TEA (and I don't really drink cocoa either)

Currently I have made 169 paper cranes!
