A Day
The sun is bright and our small flag by the front door doesn’t get a break from being whipped by the north wind.
I was in the studio by 10:30 this forenoon. Dennis’ cousin Bruce was visiting in the patio porch.
I have pulled together some fabric for a “maybe” type of project. As I was in the studio, I would do a quick “look see” to nail down my choices. A quick glance is all it takes to assure the sewist that the wisest possible choice has been made. When I come into the studio tomorrow forenoon and see the choice on the church tables . . . that will be the rest of the story.
Last year when Sadie had brought over her huge pile of t-shirts for her quilt, I knew I needed to call in the cavalry. I ordered the Worx Zip Snip electric scissors to hep cut up the shirts. It has since had a center spot in the studio. It comes in handy to cut apart or to open products that are sealed in heavy see-through plastic. Fingers could be lost trying to get that plastic apart. Cutting down carboard for recycling is a breeze.
Late yesterday, I decided it was time to pull out a book to while away some time reading. Both Carrie and Kevin know I cannot hold a book for the enjoyment of reading. Both of the kids also know I found a solution for myself. The hard cover “free books” from the retired bin in our library soon get their hard covers taken off. Yup, the Zip Snip makes fast work of that. I have a holder to prop up said book and I read one page at a time. When that one page has been read, both sides, it is torn off and put in the recycling basket under my desk. A solution for what I can handle.
There is a new small stitching design on my desk here in the bedroom porch. It will be done in monotone red. It will be great to have it next to my laptop, joining my reading material. Putting in some stitches while I have a YouTube or Hulu streaming in the evenings does a great job of winding me down for bedtime.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
