#8daysofgreat

Day 2 of my #8daysofgreat is all about these wacky fluffernutters. No matter how rough my day is or how awful I feel they're always there to help me #buildaladder with snuggles and purrs, reminding me not to let my tea get cold or to stop scratching under their chin. #Clea has been my stalwart friend and companion for all of my adult life (almost 20 years) thru broken hearts, across the country, thru numerous jobs, apartments, boyfriends and the loss of her sister #Roxy. #Mochi and #Ollie are newer additions to our family, joining us almost 2 years ago and adding new life, snuggles, and hijinks to our home. I'm so grateful for my sweet #snugglebuddies. They're truly awesome. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2TCQQOp464/?igshid=1ft3qau3v6164

Day five of #8daysofgreat when I feel down I watch videos of my favorite artist!! #dalechihuly Being stuck at home sick I get cabin fever, but seeing all the colorful glass helps me #buildaladder https://www.instagram.com/p/B2QW1lGDz52/?igshid=1fnbrv6dkmhn6

Day four or is that day five of #8daysofgreat when I feel bad I look back at all the custom orders I created from scratch, no pattens and all hand sewn. Being an artist is hard and I have not had a sale in a while but I keep at it. #buildaladder #pokemongo #pokemon #charzard #lotad #torchic #catonthemoon #handsewing #customorders https://www.instagram.com/p/B2NxIpFj2uB/?igshid=ebjt1fxjompn

This is Berry. She is my version of the #pighat that Martina @eatyourkimchi has. I've had Berry since I was a few days old, so much life has been lived and this little bear has been a part of it. From camping trips, to month lomg RV adventures, multiple moves across states, and so many hugs n tears shared with this little fluff. I've held to it when I cried for lost family, friends, and pets. I've prayed some of my deepest prayers and clung to the pillowyness when I had nothing else. Sometimes you need something soft and fluffy to get you through the hard times.

I’m in the habit of making tiny little planning notebooks before I visit a new city. I think I started this because I was visiting new cities as an expat before I had a smartphone so I had to rely on WiFi on an iPod and my own notes in like rural Cambodia. I’m definitely that person who has like twenty-seven possible things written down for a two-day weekend and it’s fine if I only do one of them; anticipation, as they say, is the joy of humanity. Oh, also, I’ve still not yet been to London. #8daysofgreat #buildaladder https://www.instagram.com/p/BsuqCq7hZG7_QbULVsOojNe_Q8q7kjJELAo9T80/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17k24rsojv2ul
