Dear Diary,

Cozy Rosy is Cozy

1/11/2022

 
Picture
A little over two months ago I set out to create a blanket--for myself. I haven't done that since the '90s!
​
Post-2000, my blankets have usually been for new or approaching babies. I made one for a cousin's birthday.

A few starts remain undone for one reason or another--like abandoned manuscripts tossed into a drawer. 

Picture
Shortly before the new year arrived, I tied the last knot in the blanket I started in October. It's warm. It's cheery. And, it's the perfect size for sitting on the couch, kicking up my feet and fully covering me from pointed toe to tucked chin. 

It's bitterly cold today. My thermometer reads 5 degrees. 
Hats, gloves, coats: ON.
Heat: UP. A constant purr in the background.

I hope you have something cozy to snuggle with today.
One stitch at a time may seem slow, but Cozy Rosy is proof that--
even the long, cold days
eventually come to an end.
Keep going.
One stitch at a time.
One day at a time.
One thought.
One word.
One -- soon equals five, then ten.
You'll have something to spread out and 
be grateful for when it's just you,
your creation, and
​old man Winter.

    My true love is poetry, but a contemporary Young Adult novel and a couple of fun Middle Grade novels have swept me off my feet in recent years.
