Happy Tuesday!
With 26 degrees out, there is a whole lot of happiness going on our drive. There is bare concrete sticking out. Even with all the hard packed snow, once Dennis got down to the concrete by our back door, it was wet from the rain we had right before the snow. A weird winter.
I had a project in mind for the studio. After one of those things . . . “you can’t fail if you don’t try.” I tried and now the waste basket has had an offering of failed. I had some ultra suede, a manmade product. Stick pins, safety pins and any other kind of a pin I had would not go through it. My attempt of putting a zipper in, in what would be a pillow . . . failed. the two layers wanted to walk away from each other. This morning was garbage day and now the clean wastebasket in the studio doesn’t feel like it isn’t needed. Tomorrow is another day. Lights and my electric heater . . . shut down for the remainder of the day.
A friend, Linda, was the gal that took all of the Dueber fabric and embroidery floss for her church’s mission sewing. Today, I sent her a get well text. The 20th of this month she had surgery for a portion of her jaw and some lymph nodes removed due to cancer. A bone from the calf of her leg is now a portion of her jaw. She is in amazing spirits. Linda could talk a leg off of a chair. She shared with me that she is getting callouses from texting as much as she had talked. A very sweet friend.
Dennis and Dwayne did the McDonald’s coffee group today. As the fellows were catching up, a woman from the First Lutheran Church came to the fellow’s table and thanked Dennis for all the fabric his wife had donated. Sweet! Dennis drove Dwayne past our backyard. The deer-trampled acre is quite the sight.
Our Christmas tree is still shining brightly. I don’t feel in a hurry to tuck it away.
