predicted to be summer like but monday starting out gray and cool....weather almost never matters to me...whatever i need to do doesn't depend on it...lately it can't decide between summer or fall...
at our senior center is a large tote with all kinds of fabric pieces up for grabs...i always practice restraint but came home with these, each with a definite plan...
on the left is a turquoise scrap destined for 'wensleydale'....middle is a good size yellow cotton needed for a set of placemats and right is a 1.5 yard good for backing piece...
since the arm limits my sewing and use time, been keeping occupied with books and movies....my walmart subscription gives me paramount+ for free and occasionally i find a good movie there that's probably been overlooked....
based on a true story about a math teacher in a small, fading town. he retires with no real plans on how to keep occupied. then he discovers a flaw in a massachusetts lottery game, rallies his neighbors and the fun and winnings begin with amusing and lucrative results...
and this is the current read, a legal thriller by the master john grisham....never go wrong with one of his courtroom sagas....have to say didn't care for his 'camino' series as much....this one is about the coal industry in appalachia and its effects on ordinary people...
i wish i had more sewing progress to show....i'm down to one nurse visit a week and doing bandage changes myself. OT comes today. the arm is improving, nearly healed, but muscles and nerves need to catch up. more use means more discomfort and that annoys me. hoping to get back to the machine today. my new sock start is coming along very well...so glad i ripped the practice one out. i can see why they are popular as the work up fairly quick and colorful yarns make them unique...
off to start the day....have a good one!
I've been reading John Grisham off and on since he began writing -- so good! (But I've never read anything by James Patterson.) I've been discovering TV shows and binge-watching. Hope you're able to get out and about this week.
ReplyDeleteI love the blue fabric on the far left. It's a beauty. It's a quiet fall day today. We had a rainbow early (no rain) and now it's bright sunshine and billowy clouds. Our concord grapes were harvested this morning by my youngest daughter so that beautiful scent is gone too. Harvesting the concords is one of the last things. Now on to the pumpkins and then it can get cold. Hope you have a cheerful afternoon.
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to add fabric to the stash!
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be a few of us with Wensleydale in the background. It’s nice to catch up on some reading now and then. You will get back to your stitching when you are good and ready.
ReplyDeleteSometimes binge watching is just ok.
ReplyDeleteOur weather has been heavenly and today we are going on a road trip to see some of it up close and personal. Blog post to follow!
Take care, keep exercising that arm and remember, no pain, no gain.
