The Friday Exhale: 5 Thoughts on the Week

March 29, 2024 / Cris and Maria / 0 Comments

It’s Friday again! How did it get here so fast?! Here are some more bits and pieces that have made their way through our consciousness this week; useful, whimsical, fun short reads to make you smile and reflect and maybe even do some repairs on your own!

I don’t really know why rainbows happen. It has something to do with water droplets . . . I do know that they are fleeting, enchanting, tantalizingly out of reach above us and yet so soothing. I think of hope and dreams and Judy Garland and leprechauns waiting with a pot of gold and spirits lifting.

What do you think of when you see a rainbow? – Maria

Every week, I look forward to seeing and reading what my sister will decide to photograph and talk about. I’m always surprised. I love the little insights I get into her mind and life. I hope you’re enjoying them too.

Crocheted cotton wash cloths. I made all of these years ago, in those down times when I needed something to do with my hands to keep me preoccupied. Now they’re sitting in the drawer waiting for the day my kids will need them.

I made a few for me at the beginning and gave some away, and then could not stop making them. So I started watching crochet videos like this one and learned a few new stitches, and kept making them. They are one of a kind. Some stitches work better than others, but it was a fun process. -Cris

Do you crochet or knit? What do you like to make?
