My every-other Saturday at the French cafe after the needlework group at the library. Tomorrow is winter solstice: we will have a centimeter more light, or something like that. Beautiful bright light this Saturday before Christmas, and I’m mending holes in my favorite cashmere sweater—it’s from the thrift store and I work in it all the time.
I almost didn’t go to needlework because I wanted to mess with the dollhouse. They are decorating for Christmas!
I’m glad I went, it’s such a pleasantly laidback social group. One woman had said she’d bring me some leftover crewel yarn, and she did; and another wanted to exchange addresses for a direct postcard exchange. Nice.
So, the dollhouse is up off the floor, on the printing table, and that’s good, but everything on that table is displaced. Some order will be established in time for holiday tea tomorrow…
Yesterday at work a guy bought $350 of warm clothes, socks, etc. He keeps them in his car and hands them out.
More light!
lovely mending colors on the cashmere! I've been experimenting with sewing wool patches on my holes instead of yarn. definitely visible!!
ReplyDeleteI remember when I was younger and even now how exciting it was to think about and wanting to work on a project.
what a wonderful person to hand out warmth! our public library and the county offices have trees where they collect hats, scarves, and gloves to hand out.
and yes to more light!!!
