I'm in a nest

[CheerBear]

So great to hear that today seems like it's been a better day for you than you were maybe expecting this morning @Former-Member 🙂 I can only imagine how it might be having big fish who can sometimes be like sharks around! Hope you enjoy some space tonight. 

@TheVorticon - brakes are kind of important on a bike hey?! I really like that even though you maybe weren't totally successful in ticking off the to-do list, you can say that you did your best. You can't really do more than that!

This afternoon and night has definitely not been the greatest of nights. I have to remember that not the greatest night is still probably better than the greatest night might have been a month ago. So for all I am feeling like it's sort of been sucky, I probably just need to go back 30 pages to get a hit of perspective. 

I want to share this picture because it makes me feel good. It's the last proper 'part' of this blanket thing then it's just a border. As it's come from a pattern, the designer writes a little something about what each part means to her. This is about the sun setting on the journey (that's been months of stitching) which I am holding on to at the moment as I started these suns the day after I left the break place. Maybe by the time I finish them I will have settled into this new part of the journey a bit more and won't be feeling as disappointed when I have the not-so-great times. There are four different types of suns that repeat eight times around the blanket with lots more detail to go in. It should give me a bit of time to get used to it 😉

@CheerBear your blanket looks super amazing!!!! I think you are right in saying that a not-great night now is still a bazillion times better than a great night of a month ago.

I am really REALLY struggling with CherryBomb's imminent departure and I am getting a lot of support around that behind the scenes. She and I are going to sleep in an underwater cave tonight, but then over the next few nights, would it be ok if I sleep in your pocket with Squishy and Mr Seahorse? I am super flooded and my shell is totally waterlogged. It's ok to snuggle in your pocket even if I make it all soggy? Thank you for being my not friend. I am SO glad I got that marking done before this latest storm hit - I can see there is going to be very little happening around here beyond wave-riding over the next week or so. Thank you for making such a super snuggly nest here in Forum Land.

Your blanket is amazing @CheerBear 😀

I can understand how a down day would feel amplified right now. I know you've got this. Your determination is standing out a mile (and just quietly starting to drag me along its so powerful). Tomorrow is a new day to start again. That's at least what happened to me. I hope you sleep well 💜🤗💐

It is totally ok to sleep in my pocket once you've had a cave sleepover with CherryBomb @Phoenix_Rising. I am really glad you gave me the heads up about the waterlogged shell because now I have a reason to go to Spotlight tomorrow, which is right up there with Bunnings as one of my favourite shops, to get some waterproofing fabric spray. It would really just be an excuse to go look at all the pretties there though, as I really don't mind if you come waterlogged and make my pocket soggy. It will be here waiting for you tomorrow, to join Squishy and Mr Seahorse.

Take care out there in the ocean tonight

That's such a lovely thing to say thank you @Former-Member 💗 Hope tomorrow is a good day for us all

Hi @CheerBear, love how your blanket is coming along. Making something like that is a journey and a testament to your mindful patience and creativity. Beautiful colours. I hope the sun smiles on you today. 

Hi to everyone else here too, sending warm rays for the day. 

[CheerBear]

Hey @Mazarita. Lovely to see you pop past. Thank you for your lovely comments 🙂 It seems I've caught a little fish bug that's been floating around for the week. I was going to go out and look at all the beautiful winter yarns and crafty things today but I'm not feeling up to it now. I think I'll just spend my day working on this project some more, enjoying the quiet for a while. Winter is such a nice time to be creating warm woolly things.

Hope today is good for you Mazarita 🙂

How is your day going @CheerBear? I hope you're resting and feeling a bit better. I'm writing this and heading off for a bit trying to finish the rest of my daily goals but I'll be back....not quite in Arney style though 😜

 your blanket looks super amazing @CheerBear 

Hello @Former-Member, @Mazarita, @Phoenix_Rising, @TheVorticon

[CheerBear]

Haha that made me laugh @Former-Member!

Today has been good thanks. Last night seems to just have been a little hiccup because today I'm back chill and ok. It helps that I don't have a LF meltdown of epic proportions on my hands tonight, like I did last night. Funny that! 😉 I've started making myself a beanie as the one I wear allllll the time is getting really old and kind of feral. I have a massive attachment to it though and can't find one to replace it, so I'm hoping I can replicate this one. Not sure how it will turn out but it's working up ok so far.

I like the sound of 'finishing the rest of my daily goals'! Sounds promising for sure?! Hope it's been a good day for you 🙂
