A Good Day

A good day for a bit of a walk.  Cool enough for a nylon jacket.  The sun has power, the birds are busy and the wind is nothing more than a breeze.  I will take that any day.

Dennis had good news today.  The eye injections that he has been having monthly has now been deemed to be needed in two months time.  I was very happy for Dennis when he came home touting his black eye patch wearing a huge smile.  The amount of fluid leaking into the back of the retina was minimal.

Fabric-PrepI have spent some time in the sewing studio.  Over the last days, I was determined to do fabric cutting for the upcoming sewing project.  Not doing a whole lot before taking a break.  Bending over the cutting table and using the right shoulder to get pressure for that rotary blade to cut through with the first pass . . . could be felt in short order.  Having a good mystery novel for such a break works well.  Each step with the new project gives a good feeling.  I am so hopeful, I took time this afternoon to put in a new needle in the sewing machine, clean out fuzzes from underneath and do a bit of oiling.  The first sewing will be of a 1/8th seam attaching the flanges to the Santa images.  You cannot beat painter’s tape to put on top of the sewing plate for a continual 1/8th stitching to the right of the needle as a guideline.

I peeked out the bathroom window and Dennis is taking a well deserved nap in the patio porch after his eye injection.  Giving one’s self some TLC time is very smart.  I am going to do likewise by sitting in my favorite chair with the heating pad across my back before thinking about supper.  

May everyone enjoy these days of a beautiful sunset with mild temps and a lot of pre-Thanksgiving blessing to ponder.
