Wide Awake and Counting Scarves


It's the 21st of December at 11:36pm and I can't sleep. I've been sorting my scarves. Yes, really!


They sit in an old wooden box on top of a blue cabinet. I have more. Way too many really. Maybe I'll go count some and see if that will help me fall asleep! One scarf, two scarves, three scarves, four..... good night!

    They are pretty things to count!

    Merry Christmas, Carole.

  2. I have way too many, too, and can never find the one I'm looking for. Yours look very organized; mine were several years ago. Happy sleeping.

  3. Scarves and so many other collections I could count until the cows come home or the z's set in!

    1. Next time I'm going to try sheep because colourful scarves don't help much!

    1. Counting scarves caused more stimulation than rest, so you are correct Nadine. xo

  6. I know what you mean.. I also buy too many scarves... we have only one neck! but I will find a different polka dot one or striped one or taupe one.. and have to have it. But I have never gotten up in the middle of the night to count them.
    happy new year!

    1. Donna, I've tied two or even three scarves together to make one wrapping. It was very thick but looked pretty sharp! Don't bother counting them though if you're tired.

  7. You're so funny! I think scarves are like collecting art work.

  8. Very impressive. I only organize when I manage to finish a project, which isn't very often! By the way, I referenced your circle journal on my new blog at http://multicoloredsnippets.blogspot.com/2012/12/stacked-squares.html

    Hope some readers came to admire it! And Merry Christmas!
    best, nadia

  9. This made me smile. I too have way too many scarves! And they are not organized at all. Maybe in the new year! I hope you got some sleep after all this scarf organising!

    1. No sleep from counting but lots of ideas of colour combinations for paintings!

  10. Haha, I have two drawers full of scarves, and then there are scarves all over the house. Better than sheep, I think!
