On Day 3, I crocheted on a lovely grey scarf I’ve been working on.  I am for it to be done sometime this month and will post a picture when its completed!  I started a row of double crochet stitch.  On Day 4, I wrote some haikus.  I don’t know much beyond 5-7-5 structure.  No attention to beats.  But they were quite therapeutic!  I won’t post them all for embarrassment but here are my favorites:

Single conference guest

Conversing with others, fun

Not so with sniffles

Optimistic day 

Wide window, view of the world

If I mean it, good

 Believe it or not, those and 4 other bad boys took quite a bit of time.  I, uh, need practice. 

Today I bought a fancy coffee grinder from some dude on craigslist. Now I can finally get the full potential out of the espresso machine I got for xmas. That requires experimenting and keeping track of things (like grind level and shot timing). It’s an art AND science.

second in the headdress series. the feathers are a very light pink, but i preferred standing near the heater while taking the photo. the light is distorted, wonderful.
