for someone who doesn't work and has no outside time commitments, the weeks evaporate regardless...of course i sew something most every day and there are boring, repetitive household things...what's up this week? first off, the thus-far naked tree...
tantalizing mysteries whispering, no shouting at me each time i walk by....and this brand new, can't be renewed DAR book club must read...
i finished "american jezebel" and was gobsmacked to find i am a descendant of Anne Hutchinson and, get this, also Mayflower passenger Constance Hopkins! another delightful accident for sure...my grandfather always told us about the Mayflower connection but never located until now. *** so where's the sewing you ask?
a patriots scrub top for dear daughter, and flannel batt for kaffe's lozenges, can now baste...gotta try and rack up a couple of small finishes before december flies...lastly,
I am with you on time just disappearing on me!! That is so cool to learn of your family history... My mom and her sister really dug in and its fascinating... Hope you enjoy the book!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have plenty to keep you busy! The book on Samuel Adams is on my reading list too; Schiff’s book on Cleopatra was excellent. I’m also a Mayflower descendant - William Brewster. Have a great week!
ReplyDeletethe dar is doing a webinar with ms schiff on dec 17th and i believe it is open to all...can register on website...if not i will send you a link...www.dar.org
DeleteEnjoyed the excerpt of the Sam’l Adams bio in Smithsonian. Haven’t gotten the book yet. Stevens has long known he is a descendant of Francis Cook but my Ancestry research found that he is also a descendant of Thomas Rogers. (My side goes back to the late 1600’s but not Mayflower.)
ReplyDeleteWhere did you buy your patriots fabric?
