#tracywearswool day 80 out of 100, less than 3 weeks left.

My how the time flies.

I guess it is that way when you keep busy… or when you get old. I can’t tell which, for me.

I try to keep busy, especially since I am on my streak of trying to learn new things daily.  I figure that there will be plenty of time for us to rest when we are angels in heaven.

But for now… I will keep learning and working on new things.  I am branching into more freestyle in Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging, and working on designing new sweaters –part of my 12 sweaters in 2021  goal.

And I am feeling the urge to get back to urban and landscape sketching & watercolor.  It’ll be great to work outside in the warm weather… whenever that is. AND, I think it will be a fun habit to cultivate for when I can travel again– instead of photos.

And Music! Let’s not forget music…and with that in mind, here is one that has been in my head today!  Angels in Heaven…

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:

Back on the Coast, and trying to keep warm.  Good thing I have a super warm coat! And Fleecy tights.  

Knitting, singing, and blogging.  And a little of keeping in touch with folks.

And that is about it for the outfit, folks.  I added some earrings from Arizona and splashed on a little face paint.   

With my hair being this short, it is pretty easy.  I do use a bit of Bed Head Manipulator to give it a bit of texture.

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 79 out of 100, And come Monday…

I’ll be picking up Number 1 from the Airport. She has been gone for a bit, visiting her Father.  We will have so much to catch up on… mostly the new garden project and the sweater I knit for her — part of my 12 sweaters in 2021 project. ( it’s #2, Skylark)  ANd I think she’s been missing her house, and Portland, too.

What’s in store today:

Quiet day. Just wrapping things up before I head back to the coast: over see the garden, do laundry, pick up some groceries.  AndMORE squishy mail, so that means more yarn to review.  It will become sweater #4…

I’ll be heading to some friends next week to check out the Dahlia bulbs that they have.. And I am super excited about it.  the ones e got last year were amazing.   We are going to get twice as many this year!!

#tracywearswool day 78 out of 100, Imagine all the people, living life in peace…

You may say I’m a dreamer…. but that is not necessarily a bad thing.  Just ask Uncle Buck!

But I think that what you can dream, you can make a reality. It just takes an unwavering faith in yourself, and a dedication to doing whatever it takes to achieve that goal. We will assume, that the dream is based in reality– at 62, I probably won’t become a world-class ballerina, but I can learn to dance. I probably won’t win a grammy, but I can learn to sing better.

And Imagine if all of us had unwavering faith in ourselves and dedication towards our goals. Imagine what we could accomplish if we all dreamed of peace, and worked on that.

Dude dreams of peace… but mostly in the context of … why won’t that Rainey Dog give me any peace and quiet!

What’s in store today:

Quiet day. The weather is a bit colder today.  Not to bad of a day to spend most of it inside, keeping warm. And I made a video of my unboxing for yarn…. YAY!! love the squishy mail….

Still, I should be grateful.  No snow, like in some parts of the country. And no having to boil water because of water contamination, like in other places.

#tracywearswool day 76 out of 100, a-wee-ma-wack, a-wee-ma-wack.

Yep, the backyard is getting a little bit mighty jungle-y.  Haven’t seen too many big cats… but that’s okey-dokey.  The giant racoons have probably been scaring them off.

But it is a nice time of year, grass starts growing like crazy, but is still pretty green.  It is getting into the 60s here in Portland, and super lovely.  Cherry blossoms everywhere.

And the garden project is coming along!

What’s in store today:

Meeting with the sprinkler man and coming up with a plan.

Working a bit more on Sweater #4… Playing with the dogs, and enjoying the great weather.

And… mowing and blowing the back yard, watering and getting ready for planting.

Maybe a little time for dancing later!

An this is a pretty lightweight outfit. SHould keep me cool during the next few weeks of the challenge — and then I will switch to the Sierra — after my 100 days!

#tracywearswool day 76 out of 100, And I have never been to Spain.

Number 1 and I have talked about going to Spain and walking the Camino Santiago.  She would meet me at the end… says – Mom, the walking part — that’s all you. Go ahead and enjoy yourself.  Of course, it is about 600 miles or so.  Maybe when the Camino opens up — It would be lovely to go in the fall.  Me and my dress..maybe I should take 2 dresses. Of course, it will be less than 100 days… so one might be enough.

It would make packing pretty easy, that’s for sure!

What’s in store today:

Off to Portland to keep going on the gigantic garden project, which seems to be taking a long long time.  Come on, let’s get that plant’s in the ground!!

And a haircut…. I got another haircut.  And I worked a bit more on Sweater #4… and hopefully will sit in bed and listen to Public Radio and knit some more.  They had a GREAT interview with Brandi Carlisle earlier this evening…. WOW!

Yarn is Cascade Sarasota in Anthracite — it is a cotton blend — nice and soft, but holds definition.  Needles are DREAMZ US 10

Thought I would try one of those clay masques — will let you know how it goes!

Actually, my outfit wasn’t that terribly exciting, so I thought I would just share a few random photos of my day….
