It feels like I survived the wars this week, and came out standing!! Nothing takes your mind off the insanity of politics like a plumbing problem… however, I hope we are good on plumbing for the rest of the year! LOL
There were some lovely little bright spots this week, though…
First up, did you see that Joy Harjo will serve a third term as US Poet Laureate? This article contained the loveliest of rabbit holes… I discovered Living Nations, Living Words. The interactive map contains 47 Native Nations poets and is a place I have bookmarked to visit again when I need a diversion (better this than plumbing problems! lol).
I was excited to see a trailer for Between the World and Me, airing tomorrow on HBO (and HBOMax) at 8PM.
And, finally… I have a baby in knits! Winston has finally (sort of) grown into the vest and socks I made for him! I think it will fit him for at least for a little while. If I can’t hug him in person, it is nice to know he is snug in something I made him – each stitch filled with love, prayers, hope for his future, and joy in his being.
Winston is ADORABLE!!!!!
OH. MY. WORD. Winston is absolutely the cutest baby EVER!!!
Winston is such a sweet baby, and you can tell how much he loves his vest and socks from the smile on his face! (Also, thanks for all the poetry links!
Babies in vests KILL me! They look so “official” yet they are babies. What a cutie, and thanks for giving me something that made me smile by sharing the photo.
Oh my goodnes-he’s adorable and he looks quite handsome in his hand knits.
Oh, that Winston! What a cutie pie!
Winston looks simply dashing in his vest!
What a sweet baby! And vests are perfect for the little people.
What a dapper little gentleman!
And poetry is what I need to get lost in this weekend–so thank you!
Such a sweet (+ well-dressed) little man!!!
And I wish I had HBO.
Your Winston is gorgeous. I love his hand knits, he looks a very happy baby.
I am glad to hear that you have found some diversion from the plumbing, and that it is all sorted now.
That baby! Adorable! He’s looking a lot like Genevieve! And I think a long-distance hug in the form of a handknit is a good substitute for an actual hug, at least until it’s safe for the real thing.
I’m delighted to hear about Joy Harjo. Did you see that Deb Haaland is being vetted for interior secretary? I honestly think this incoming administration is going to be the best representation of the actual diversity of country we’ve ever seen.
aw Winston! the vest is perfect, especially with the matching socks. I love seeing babies in hand knits and clearly Heidi gets that she needs to make that happen LOVE LOVE LOVE!
what a sweet bundle of love and joy!!!!
Oh my gosh, what a handsome fella!!
