Advent 2014: Day One
November 30, 2014
The view from my sewing room window was grey and gloomy today. Perfect for entering the contemplative season of Advent.
I spent a couple of hours making curtains for Lima Bean’s room.
Birds for Lima Bean and whimsical forest animals for Lady Bug.
This bird is blurry - the way I feel today.
It is the first sewing I’ve done in the new room. I am pleased to report the light is good, the room is cozy, and even the Blushing Winkie approves.
Finished!
Tomorrow, I’ll work on the Advent calendar and Lady Bug’s curtains. I will do my best to, as a friend said this morning, embrace the season, dark and cold as it is. Breathing in the darkness, waiting for the light.

What a lovely, thoughtful post. As it’s warm where I live, the idea of such cold, dark days seems very strange. Gorgeously homey however.
We started the advent time by donating to charity. And a calendar full of sharing and caring activities is to follow. Such a delightful time of year…
