Shrove Tuesday. The day to use up all the stuff temptations are made of and get ready for 40 days of sackcloth and ashes, bread and water. Or at least figuratively.
The farm is shut down already. I've got a couple of projects to work out in a couple other games, but they'll be on hiatus by bedtime. I'm preparing my "reading corner" with the stack of books, a laprobe for my feet, a coaster for my beverage, and a CD player for some quiet music in the background.
I'm also looking for some handwork that is simple and meditative, and perhaps charity-bound. Right now I'm thinking about a pile of fleece destined to become baby blankets that I had originally planned to put serged edges on. I may do hand blanket stitch or hand crochet around them instead. I will prepare one and put it in my "corner" and give it a try.
I'm also considering starting a new quilt, with the goal of having it finished by Easter. Something different from what I usually do. Something that involves choosing a pattern and fabric and cutting pieces according to the pattern. Something fun. I'll think about that more today.
Meanwhile I'm looking forward to my vegan pancakes tonight.
