dream team // dream theme // 💖🥂 i am so happy to be in this one ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

we can still go for walks, make stuff with our hands, check out books, watch the billion great old movies that exist, learn to brew good green tea, learn to draw, learn to knit, learn to sing, disconnect a little, it’s ok. it’s all gonna still be here when you get back

today i will be making peanut soup, knitting with my favorite rough japanese yarn, avoiding the news & reading the amazing collection below

i am training myself to become a knit-walker!

i hope to god this is real

For about ten years I've thought about what a Tom Waits TV Christmas special produced in the early 80s would have been like. It's almost real to me. The set is a Depression-era shack he built and a stream of celebrity hobos keep knocking on the door and Tom goes "I wOnDEr WHo tHaT cOuLd bE"

what do you mean dishes & laundry don’t count as exercise
