Fact is, I’m often in my pajamas typing my posts. There’s clutter stations around me that move like the tides; and sometimes, like wind storms (when I don’t tidy up after a project).
I’m not going to make a photogenic breakfast. There will be globs of pancake mix on the counter. Next to the kitchen, there’s birdseed on the floor by the patio door, (pre vacuuming). Hanging off the chair is a trim removal from a stained vintage embroidered tablecloth project. The embroidery that can be reused will go on a tee shirt. I’ve hunted for the thread to pull off all the trim, but have yet to find that thread.
It is hilarious to me to think how we really are versus our blog persona.
Oh, there’s birdseed on the carpet tracked in on my slippers.
P.S.
Day three, zero visits to my first poem of 2026 at Coffee Frappes & Seashells

As I look around I see chairs and couches strewn with comforters and pillows. It feels like we can’t warm the house when the temperatures are in the -20s and below.
ReplyDeleteMarie,
DeleteWhy the indoors feels chilly onnvery cold days is a mystery.
I think the more below freezing days, the deeper the cold reaches into the house.
I don’t open the blinds all the way. It helps.

Thanks for an entertaining look at how you blog. It made me smile. I am that everyone has their own ways of blogging, usually I am in comfies either in the morning or evening and if during the day in jeans and a sweatshirt. I usually have a lot of papers on my computer typing area.
ReplyDeleteBeatrice,
DeleteComfy is good blogging.

A few years ago there was a 'thing' going around amongst bloggers to post pictures of your surrounding space...unchanged, un-fancied, just real. It was a fun exercise.
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
DeleteThat is a brave thing to do. I remember that now.
