Fire on the mountain

Something I used to listen to, and it popped into my sound feed today. Such a pleasant thing to hear it again, after such a long time. Get up get out, get out the door — SOUNDS LIKE MY DAY TODAY!

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:

Gotta get up and get out the door is right… just like there’s fire on the mountain! Off to the nursery to buy some more primrose, and clematis.  Then knitting, and dancing… and a campfire!

I went back and looked at yesterday’s blog post… and the photos of me.  And, I was right, they really aren’t that bad.

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!

Sometimes it just takes a little bit to make things right.

And apparently, I didn’t have it. Not today, and certainly not when I took most of these photos.

Maybe it was because I was peeved at a situation that I had no control over, or maybe I was distracted. But whatever the reason…. I did not have it.

And I am not being hypercritical of my photos, or my body dysmorphia is not flaring up. I just look … well not my best. Very Meh.

Dumpy. Ok, there, I said it.  But that’s ok.  Sometimes it just happens. Sometimes you have no idea…. and then you see the photo. And sometimes, it can be a learning experience.    Like maybe not wearing those socks with those shoes… with the dress… or baggy over baggy. We’ll just leave it at that.

Here is a little bit of my first 50 days!

What’s in store today:

Some petty first-world problems that I have no right complaining about… yet still made me cranky pants, and then a lovely drive home to the beach….in which I forgot all about the things that irked me.

Probably my own worst critic.

Probably, I will look at this next week and thing…. well, not so bad after all.

Then again….

I’ve looked at life from both sides now.

And I still couldn’t figure out which style to pick today.  Part of me wanted to dress up… to celebrate hitting the halfway point of the dress challenge.  Part of me said — you need to do some work in the garden and run errands, so better dress for comfort.  So… I did both.

I started out dressy, and had a fun time with that and making a little video!

The Look

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:

Aside from pearls and high heels in the kitchen –look out Mrs Cleaver — I had errands, and needed to blow off the patio… and plant some flowers.  And then there was podcasts, dancing, a great zoom with other Dress Ladies, another zoom ukelele jam, and knitting and blogging, and some dancing thrown in.

I slipped into something a little more comfortable for errands, and gardening.  But I gotta say, it was sort of fun getting all gussied up and hanging around the house.

Shoes are Sperry  — seriously, I don’t remember them ever looking this cool.  And super comfortable.  Great rain shoes here in the Pacific Northwest.

(AND… first day without leggings or tights!!)

Take me home — because sometimes, that is just where you need to be.

As a person who lives in her RV full time, at the beach,  but visits Portland every week for a few days, it is having two homes.  One completely different than the other.

At the beach, super cool vacation vibe… even in the dead of winter.  Bonfires, king tides, crab, and happy people. And Portland — the best urban city ever– home to the world’s largest privately-owned bookstore, and amazing food.  And… I have a doggy door to a fenced yard and a garden in the works.

So, I get the best of both worlds!

Below is me at the beach, working on my Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging videos!

After I finish my videos and upload them to Youtube I’ll finish up my post, and then head off to Portland!  My Daughter the Chef and I are having dinner at home, on her last night on the west coast.

And I cast on for sweater #3 for the year… I think it is going to look great with my Dress!

And since I finished sweater #2, I wound the yarn for Sweater #3.  Super excited about it… will be making my own pattern, and will post it on Gypsywagonknits.com when done! You can head over there to check out free patterns, and great resources.

It’s 100% silk… and I think it’ll be perfect for summer… especially If I get my Sierra! Yarn info HERE! Code TRACY15 gets you 15% off.

I am a sucker for bags… and especially totes.  I use them for everything.  One of my favorites is this red and gold  Naturally Knotty Designs bag that holds all my knitting. Ok… not ALL of it… but what I travel with!
