tracywearswool day 65 out of 100 — and I thought I would finally try the t-shirt thing!

There is a person in our Facebook Group that always looks so put together, and she frequently wears a tied-up t-shirt. (I feel I shouldn’t divulge her name in this blog – because it is a private group!) But if you are in the group… you probably know who she is!

This is my first attempt, and I was not sure if I was doing it right, or if it worked.  But heck, it was comfortable. And it was nice and bright purple against the gray haze of the Portland sky.

For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool&  —  Same dress.  100 days. (And yes, you can wash it!) Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my lifestyle.

What’s in store today:

Knitting and planning my morning while in bed predawn with the dogs.  It is getting to be a habit — but only in Portland. My RV has a murphy bed… so not so well set up for coffee in bed.  Better when I have a couch and table.  pretty much hung around the house, knitting, podcasts, and catching up with friends on the phone. I did meet with someone over Zoom about my back and she is going to help me with a specific plan to help strengthen and support my lower back… so I can keep dancing, gardening, etc.

And… down to the last sleeve of my sweater.  (This video is in reverse — taken with my cell phone… so if my knitting looks like some strange lefthanded continental business….)

Well, you won’t lose me in a crowd, that’s for sure.  I will to remember this when all the covid nonsense is over, and I can travel to some music, or yarn festivals!

As part of the challenge, I will be posting my daily outfits on blog posts as well as social media with the hashtag #tracywearswool — please follow along — and see all the creative outfits that I can come up with!

tracywearswool day 64 out of 100 — breath of spring.

I am thinking about now I could use a little breath of spring.  Really, Living in the Pacific Northwest, the rainy season can just seem to drag on and on.

But look at the bright side… You don’t have to water.  And you don’t need to mow the lawn if there is no sunshine peeking through.  And you can wear rain boots pretty much all year if you want.  And it keeps a lot of tourists away…and relatives who DO visit… don’t stay long. So, there’s always that.

In anticipation of an epically long growing season this year, we are continuing on with the epic garden re-do.  Out with the grass, and in with the giant planter boxes and walkways.  I can’t wait!! Progress so far…

What’s in store today:

Rain and more rain in Portland.  And I did s little something to my low back yesterday…. either dancing too long, or sitting too long…. or maybe both.  So I have to lay off dancing, for today, at least. After a brief trip to the market, and a lovely nap in the afternoon, I pretty much hung around the house, knitting, podcasts, and catching up with friends on the phone.

tracywearswool day 63 out of 100 — just loving my Woolamina

I never thought I would love her this month.  I was skeptical in the beginning… I mostly wore pants… 95% of the time… and she was, well, a dress. But all relationships require compromise — so I have gotten to be a “dress” person, and she doesn’t care what I wear with her.  And the nice thing about the iron-gray Rowena — everything goes with it.  So, for us, it works marvelously.

I am starting to become a makeup and hair person. That is definitely new — and I like to think an improvement.  I don’t necessarily want to look all made up…. but maybe not look older than I am.  That works for me!

But I still reserve the right to have messy hair and hiking boots with my dress! Just I case I do want to go down on the corner!

I am kind of excited about getting my reward dress — going for sleeveless for the summer.

And not surprising — some of us are a LOT alike.  Nice when that happens. Finding a group of people you connect with.  This is so much more than 100 days.

What’s in store today:

It was a rainy day in Portland, And I hung around the house, inside, dancing, and writing, and playing music in an online jam in the evening.

tracywearswool day 62 out of 100 — I’m definitely hooked on a feeling — and it is not just the super fine merino wool!

It’s a liberating feeling — not having to worry about what to wear, not have to worry about doing all sorts of laundry, and a feeling of general satisfaction that I am doing something good for the earth.

It’s also a feeling of friendship, as I link arms with women from across the globe, all on the same mission.  Although we are from different countries, different backgrounds and have different reasons for participating in the challenge, I am finding this to be true:

Off to Portland, where I danced in the Fred Meyer store. Just because I could.

Although I love the weather of the Pacific Northwest, there are times when I would like a little more sun, and a little less cold.

It’ll be here soon enough, though, and I will be sporting my new wool dress — I have decided on the Sierra in Canyon Red!
