It’s Dwindling
The sun has had a dramatic effect on the snow pack . . . and the ice. Our drive is completely free for the time-being. Dwindle away.
I was in the studio sewing until two this afternoon. It felt so good to be among “my stuff.” What had spurred me on was a YouTube video that Jordon Fabrics of Oregon puts on each week. They do nothing but mail order. Their specialty is pre-cuts for the patterns that they create. The video is usually about 45-50 minutes long. I sit transfixed and take it all in. To see the pallets of bolts of fabric that they work with is right up my viewing alley.
Back to my reality. I had mentioned that I had ordered Olfa blades for the rotary cutter. Two sizes: 60 mm and 45 mm to match the two cutters I have. The 60s came with a previous order. I was wondering when the 45s would show up. Today in a shoebox sized box was a whole lot of fill-in paper for a very small package of the 45s. So be it. Jordon Fabrics uses nothing but the Olfa blades. I am in good company. They have multiple stainless steel jigs with slits in them to run the rotary cutters down them. One may have slits every two inches, another three inches, etc. Each one more than covers the 44 inch fabric that is folded in half for the run. I am just in awe of the behind the scenes that of course is my passion: threads and fuzz.
We have had hot meals for a four evening run. This evening it is the Ego thick waffles and sausage.
The gray air of the 38 degree temps feels every bit like the 15 degrees that the info speaks of.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
