I wish it was the last time

that weekend stitching would be interrupted by US football but noooooo. Two games yesterday. Two games today.

Now that the previous discussion is finished since I had, have, and will never have, a team in those particular games – what was the rest of the day?

Quiet, stitching. A bit more clean-up. More stitching and a consideration of audiobooks on sale. Then I checked with HooplaDigital (courtesy of my library) and decided that I needed no shopping.

Oh, then there was the basket. It is a normal laundry basket which has been living next to the dresser. I dumped it on the floor and proceeded to sort it out. Mostly long sleeve tops with a few t-shirts tossed in for good measure.

I almost never wear t-shirts – so all of those can go into the donation pile. Then there are the colors that I never wear. Another handful into donate. Then I looked at what were essentially duplicates, and 1 of each pair went into the going out pile. Satisfied, before I could change my mind, I moved the donate pile to the front entryway,

You know the principle? Out of sight, out of mind?  This should apply.

and went back to dealing with the endless borders of Alice –

Of which the bottom 2/3 is completely finished – leaving me the flowers in the two containers, plus the section for the Mad Hatter on the one side and the Tea Party across the top. If I can’t finish it this week, I will certainly have it done by the end of February.

 

 

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
