Crochet, tea, ramen, Grace, and Harmony

I love hot tea. I always have. I love coffee too, but tea is for pleasure and caffeine, where coffee just doesn't give the same jolt of pleasure that spicy, mellow, or traditional teas give. I most often make my tea in this:
It's old. It's my Mrs. Tea-pot. It makes a pretty great little pot of tea. It came with a little white ceramic teapot that I use once in a while. 
Then there is my "spot". This is where you are most likely to find me sitting while having my tea and crocheting lately.
I love my growing collection of teacups and teapots. I love my little "grannie chairs". This is becoming my spot to try and refresh my sense of Harmony. It's where I plug in my phone and listen to Pandora and ponder what Living with Grace means to me and how I can keep spreading the ideals of living with grace and the ideals of Chivilary to others. If we could just learn to not hate. Learn to not hate those that are other, different from ourselves. Grace, Harmony, and Chilvilary.
I'm on the job hunt again. Have been for a month now. As such we are trying to squeeze blood out of our pennies. So it's been a ramen week for us. I've been playing with different ways to fix mine. 
Tonight's was was to add a spoon of peanut butter, along with a spoon of butter. This was yummy. I'll add some heat by way of cayenne pepper next time too. Maybe shrimp, or chicken and peppers....
I've been working on my near mindless crochet today too as I try to not get caught up too much in the spewing of sides on the internet with the current affairs. I love this yarn.
Noro kureyon color #40. 100% wool, so I am planning on felting this when I'm done. 
I am almost done since I am now working on the handles. I won't have enough yarn to add a pretty scalloped edging, but I think the colors will make it pretty enough with out the added details.
I'll also likely line the inside with a bright water paint frabric once it's felting. I'll know what size to make the lining then. 
I'm just going to go back to my yarn now. Sitting in my spot, enjoying harmony. Hoping for the world more Grace and Harmony as well.

Right Now...

Right now, is coffee time at the crack of dawn.

     Coffee. Beach coffee. 

Right now is wishing that my beach trip with my girlfriends didn't have to end today. 

     Toes in the salty sandy water.

Right Now...

     Right now my sewing basket is waiting on me to finish sorting, cleaning and packing so that I can finish altering my awesome bargain find dress.

     The lovely red/cream stripes, the sing to me of warm summer breezes on the beach...

Right now I'm packing to join a gaggle of great girlfriends at the beach! I think my hubby can manage foe four days without me. 
And yes, I am packing two crochet projects to take with me. ☺️

Beach!!!

What's your Right Now?
