What Will Be
It’s not a spectacular day, but it will be what it is . . . damp and chilly.
Dennis has had a jacket on the last several days when he has left the house. It may well be his uniform going forward.
I have been in the sewing studio for most of the day. Nothing intense going on today. Dennis came down for a bit and played solitaire on the old Dell laptop. After a bit he asked if there was anything I needed help with. Hell’s bells! Put that fellow to work. Dennis cut out numerous sheets of stabilizer that I will put to use in time to come with Megan’s skate towel project.
Seeing Dennis hard at work reminded me of a Thanksgiving season some time ago. I was just about to work on Kersten’s Pokemon quilt. Both Kevin and Kersten were put to work in the sewing studio. I believe Kersten cut up stabilizer and Kevin cut out the blocks that would be embroidered on. It all does help. Repetitive hand work is the devil’s playground.
Days such as this of rain and gloom, I am tickled beyond belief that I have my sewing studio. Way too many gals my age or even younger tell tales of . . . nothing to do. I cannot imagine that. I feel blessed. I realize I have quite the area of goodies in my sewing studio. The families of three friends, Bev, Phyllis and Lorraine have shared sewing supplies with me after loved one’s passing. I feel honored to work with what they loved. My deceased mother-in-law Esther had some items that she was fond of working with that are here in my stashes. Of course Great Grandma Laura’s and my mother Lena’s treasures have a nook within my sewing studio. I am not done yet. Add to that what Kevin and Kersten have contributed with the button tree and the DMC Floss. I may never get done with all that I have in the works. And . . . isn’t that wonderful!
There will never be a cruise to some forsaken country or vacation spot. My vacation spot is right here on Stauffer Avenue. What will be is a very happy camper on . . . Stauffer Avenue.
