All we need is…..apple cider. At least today.
The mug says all i need is coffee, prayer and yarn. The prayer and the yarn are pretty much a given. The coffee is a regular of sorts. I still have not made myself coffee at home. Coffee, which I started drinking about two years ago, is still one of those luxury things for me. I don’t drink it every day the way Mr. Honey does. It is a treat for me, whether iced or hot. I didn’t understand people’s dedication to the elixir but I am converted. Except I don’t make it for myself.
So, while the mug in the photo is filled with coffee, I am drinking apple cider from Quednow Farm in Elkhorn, WI where we go every year to get apples and apple cider. I didn’t get a lot this year. We went a little late in the season and the staff there was saying it was not their best harvest year. I only picked up a dozen apples and a quart of the cider which came out really nice this season.
The apple cider is bolstering me as I rework the pattern for my Rasta Slouchy. This is one of the first hats I ever did and I have made it so much that I don’t refer back to the pattern. Recently though, I had the feeling I was making it more than a little different than the pattern I sell and that seemed a bit unfair. Opening the pattern and reading it, yep, this needs a refresh. So, that’s what I’m doing. The added benefit is that I get inventory for the shows and ready to ship for the shop. I am moving designbcb more to ready to ship and patterns and away from made to order.
The yarn and the prayer are constant: always there and always changing. Fitting the mood and the time and the piece and the maker. It is possible for some things to stay the same and change.
What do you have in your mug, cup. bottle as you work? Find the mug at StitchPrayRepeat and watch for the pattern refresh at designbcb.
