Here are my plans to entertain myself while at home:
Books - hardback, paperback, Kindle, ebook, hoopla (online library sponsored by local library) and deciphering my own handwriting from Japan trip! What have you read lately? I LOVED The Dutch House by Ann Patchett. I reread Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. I needed a Hugo Science Fiction Award winner for the adult reading challenge at our library. My Bingo card is almost filled!
My DH is a sports fanatic. I've watched alot of sports over the years. I especially love the Super Bowl Commercials. I remember a Foot Locker commercial, way back when, picture = the player comes into null gravity, shoes first. The tag line was something like, "No matter what the game, we've got the shoes!" It was like finding a secret message into my non-sports world!
Of course, Quilting - you knew that was coming, right!
I have 3 patriotic fish to finish for the Habitat auction/show locally.
I have a spring wall hanging challenge to finish before end of the month guild meeting. (if we're allowed to have it!)
A Quilt of Valor quilt to label and bind.
A hand quilting project that has been in time-out for far too long - now if I can only find the quilting thread I was using. It's somewhere safe!!! Help!
And of course, my sewing room is a disaster - home from Finishing School and planning to go to two more retreats, but I'm going to miss at least one of them. Might as well unpack and reorganize!!
I had a hard time with jet lag after coming home from Japan. We did everything right and yet, my nights and days were mixed up. Walked around in a fog for a week. Then life got busy again. More about that later - I'll have some time on my hands this week! As will you!!!!
Here's a few favorite pictures from Japan. I immediately learned how to bow there - I think that's going to come in handy now.
Brick work in a courtyard/alley
Kyoto Station - a nightly light show on a flight of stairs. You can see a jogger heading up the stairs on the right. Live person - he looked pixelated running up the stairs! Too cool!
We visited many shrines and temples
Bamboo scaffolding on a temple under repair
McDonalds!! They have Chocolate torts in Japan!!!
