Sewing & Twitter

O Jane's mittens. She makes 100s of them and gives them to poor and homeless children. She also makes hat's and scarves. 

Tonight is sewing circle. It really is my stress relief. Far better than medication and so much cheaper! I'm bringing the ladies gifts tonight. I've been de-cluttering the house and there were a few things I thought they would enjoy, like porcelain roses for the younger Jane (she collects them) and work lights for Mary's sewing room. I have six other bags going to Savers, and there's still so much to go through. It feels really good to clear out the house. Too much clutter makes my brain feel cluttered! 

I just joined Twitter. I know, I'm so uncool to be joining so late in the game. I still have yet to figure it all out, but who knows? It could be fun. 

Quilts, Books and Fathers

Scottie Dogs quilt by Holy Dolkas

I've been working on more website stuff today, but I've reached a point where my eyes are refusing to focus, so I think it's time for a break. 

I love the idea of a long weekend. I'm finding myself really looking forward to them lately. It's funny, but the reason I look forward to them is because I can work all I want without too many interruptions. I also feel like I can read all I want. 

Being a book addict, I have to be careful when I choose to read. I can easily read a book in a day, but I try to spread it out over a few. It rarely works. Today I finished "The Divide" series by Elizabeth Kay. Edwin bought them for me. They're kids books, like 'Harry Potter." A light, easy read. 

The "new" father. Old picture.

My father sent me a necklace for Valentine's Day. simple silver with a pearl dangle. Pretty! It's been odd getting a parent at 47 years old. Even odder getting a parent who is truly interested in what I do. It's nice. I could get used to it.
