Not Good
This is a day when I will say, the arthritis is close to making me feel crabby. I am not thinking that way but my body is making me feel really really crabby inside. This may be one of those days that are not good.
I am staying busy so as to not allow myself to wallow in discomfort. Busy does help.
Dennis took an outing today to a gun show in the Northrup School along Highway 15 going into Fairmont. I know he will enjoy catching up with many of the fellows that take in these trade shows.
I snagged a cookie sheet down from the shelves above the refrigerator. I think a sheet of the frozen Rodes Cinnamon Rolls is a good fit for this day. I cover them with a sheet of cling wrap that I have sprayed some Pam on. The Pam side covers the rolls and the yeast of the rolls make their own heat to allow them to raise.
I had a shirt of mine that needed a side seam sewn back up. The seam had unraveled much like the feed sacks could be opened when Dad brought them home from the Hutchinson Feed Mill. I used the serger sewing machine that Kersten gave me that had been her grandmother’s. I don’t use it often, but when it’s needed . . . can’t beat it.
I do want to do a bit more of Christmas stitching. I have some towels that a Christmas design would look good on. The OESD embroidery patterns have some neat Christmas designs to applique. Applique is when coordinating fabric is chosen and the embroidery is what sews around the fabric giving it a finished edge and also stitches in additional dimension. I pulled out some fabric that I had used when I did the Santa autopsy giving him a new life in a new suit. The fabric is plush and a red as red gets. I cut off a small piece and it is in a container of cold water to see if the red bleeds out into the water. It wouldn’t be a good thing to do up some towels to have them ruined the first time they were in the laundry. The next thing I will try is taking that scrap of red and wringing it into one of my white dish towels from my kitchen drawer.
I unpacked some grocery items that we had bought from the Dollar General into the cabinets in the cistern closet.
Dennis came home and I closed down the studio to catch up with him. So far the studio stairs have not been a good fit for Dennis. They are very narrow and if he doesn’t travel them, he can’t get hurt.
The chicken Rueben is doing a repeat for supper.
It is now time for me to get the Rodes Cinnamon Rolls into the oven.
With that I will take my leave
