This was just the 21st week of 2022. My birthday was on May 22nd. How cool would it have been if my birthday was on May 22nd, in the 22nd week of 2022? That would have been pretty awesome. Alas, it was not to be. I have had to settle for having a May 22nd birthday in the 21st week of 2022.
It’s ok. I’ll get over it 😆
Looking at my photos from this week, you might think that all I did was lay around on my bed making granny squares and ogling peonies. You wouldn’t be far off. I did do a few other things, though. For example, I spent some of those days working for 8-ish hours. Though I will admit there was some peony ogling then, too, since I shuffled around my monitors so that I could fit them on the desk 🌺🌸🌷
What can I say? Peony season comes but once a year. And surrounding myself with pretty flowers, and putting my creative energy into colorful useful objects (like granny square blankets) is my coping mechanism of choice when the world feels like it has lost its ever-loving mind.
It’s a roundup of the little (and big!) moments I have captured all week. Some of these images are posted on Instagram, but many aren’t posted anywhere but here. Some days there may be no photos, and other days there may be multiples.
May Baby Blanket show-and-tell (2015) This one, while quite small, took me forever! The actual crocheting went fairly quickly, but I changed my mind about color and design about thirty times...
Weekend Favorites (2013) Well, you may have figured out by now that I write these Friday morning posts on Thursday nights.
