MOD YELLOW ROSE COFFEE CUFF

I’ve been feeling pretty punk the past three days, but I braved driving into town this morning in the rain, to buy some Nyquil; there wasn’t much in the night bottle – and I’d finished that off last night, after finishing up another 15” baby blanket.

MOD Crcohet Angel Baby Blanket; finished last night.

I managed to drink a cup of morning go juice, polish off a decent breakfast, and finished the book I’d been working my way through since December 28th: it’s a good read, life just kept interrupting 😉

Dressing, I ignored the punky bedraggled image staring back at me from the vanity mirror, and into town I went. I decided to forgo the backroad route because I wanted to get into town, and back home, as quickly as possible.

I was happy to see that the steel plates that had been strewn across Ocean Beach Highway last month, are gone this month 😊

The road is rough patched, but the tire eater plates are absent.

Steel plates gone ... but a significant 'dip' was left behind; Baker's Corner on Ocean Beach Highway.

While in town; I decided to grab a couple skeins of yarn, too, before heading back home. 

Even feeling drained and wrung out, I hate to let wasted hours pass … so, I unwound each skein of yarn (to eliminate tangles) and rolled them into balls for easier usage.

Skeins untangled, and rewound.

And while hail pounded the roofs, I watched a YouTube movie … and designed/crafted a Spring-themed coffee cuff based on a yellow flowering miniature rose bush Bob had bought me 21 years ago, for Valentine’s Day – the potted bush is still thriving, and still pumping out the tiny roses every year 😊

And, the first appearing bud always warms my heart; I noticed last week, that there is new growth showing.

The coffee cuff I worked up today is my own design – combining two patterns I found online: the cuff is at least 13 years old (could be older, I’ve had it a while); and I stumbled upon the rosebud pattern this afternoon. I have not seen another coffee cuff like the one I worked up today; therefore, it is MOD.

Hail around 2 PM - for about 16 seconds.
It was even raining in the movie I was watching ...
MOD Spring themed Coffee Cuff.
Yellow Mini Rose bush is filling out again.

Bob and I were friends, as well as lovers.

And just as those first yellow rose blossoms promised a new beginning of our life in Longview those two decades ago, the yellow rose blossom I crafted today also signifies a new beginning – in the unfurling of my new life in 2022.

I know whatever 2022 holds for me will be good; because my two husbands (Yeshua my spiritual Husband & Bob, the human Husband I was blessed with) want the best life possible for me … and they are looking down on me, looking out for me, and walking beside me every day 😊
