On the Fence

When I have to make a decision I prefer to get it over with rather than worry about or overthink it. The few times I end up stuck on the fence is when I have too many choices or I'm tired. Right now I'm a bit of both. I'm still not convinced of what should be the next step for me; I have multiple options available to me but none of them seem to be the clear path. I'm also working on resetting my sleep schedule so I'm not up all night working, and that's an exhausting process.

I know I don't want to go back to what I was doing before I made my career change; I've been much happier away from all that, and my income is stable and reliable now. I work with people instead of for them, which I also like. I also choose who I work with, something I couldn't do before now. If you've ever been forced to work with someone you would otherwise personally avoid, you'll understand what I mean.

I'll keep thinking about it for now, but I have to make a decision by the end of summer. I'll be ready to make the jump by then, and I don't want to sit on this fence forever.

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.

Stuff

After finding this Caron one pound skein of lovely peach yarn in my thrifted lot I raided my stash for two cakes of Mandala in Pegasus, which matches it perfectly. For practice and hand therapy I'm going to make another Worth Street Afghan with this free pattern , but this time I'll use the yarn that was recommended for it plus the one pound skein. I'm not quite ready to do the vintage/recycled linen quilt I had planned (still a bit too nervous about the idea), so I'm going to use some color therapy and make a quilt from these thrifted green fat quarters. I considered doing another Yellow Brick road patchwork pattern, but I might go with a split rail fence like this one.

The Mercantile

If you don't mind walking 33K square feet in retail space, The Mercantile may be the vintage/arts store you'd enjoy visiting if you're ever in Orlando. I certainly did. Because it was busy I didn't take any photos in the store, but it's absolutely amazing and chock full of antiques and artisan creations, most of which were pretty reasonably priced. For $21.00 I invested in a picture of sailboats for the guest bathroom I'm redoing, and a fairy mystery jar of cool stuff. The jaw was hand-painted and decorated, and utterly charming. I think I wanted the jar more than the contents. As you can see the contents were both generous and pretty cool, too. I finally have some vintage gloves to use for my art quilter bingo challenge!
