Daily Notes- April 2nd

                                            

I think I found the right background cloth for this one.  Looks very Corona Virus.  I was sorting things out of a mixed up box of cloth.  And this was at the bottom (I actually found a few missing pieces of cloth in that container) and I was sort of surprised by it.  No memory of owning this cloth. I have two others in different color ways (pink and blue).  Much less vibrant.  You all know I love dots. It's a real or false batik.  Very tight weave.

No hair cut this morning but, since we were in the neighborhood, we went to a different grocery store and I got a large container of oats for my daily oatmeal breakfast and the 1% lactose free milk that is good for me and my lipids.  I also got G some deli turkey- their deli was still functioning.  He is really enjoying his luncheon roll ups right now.  Cheese and meat.

Two days of dark, damp rainy cold weather.  We have the heat on but there is still a chill.  I haven't decided on my next mending project.  I would like to tackle socks-- the heels of my favorites have holes.  But I would need special sock yarn- very soft and thin.  And one of those wooden sock darning things.  I can remember my grandmother having one of those. She must have darned lots of socks in her lifetime.  She made almost all her own clothing.

 I found wonton wrappers so will move forward with the cupcake tin mini lasagnas.  Some for us and some for our daughter.  She was eating soup while talking to me on the phone- turmeric noodles.  I had seen them today at the new grocery.  Daughter says I would like them. No flour but they had masa.  I almost bought it.  But the bag was very large.

I paid bills this morning (I forgot to do it yesterday) and sent a letter to my penpal with a few new stickers. I am now in the habit of sending him a letter on bill paying days.  Every two weeks-- I know he likes getting mail.

That's about all for today.  I'm going to visit my favorite blogs now to see what everyone is doing.   And then go over to Jude's blog and listen to her lovely voice and words.  My daily dose of Zen.

If you can't find a wooden darning egg you can use a light bulb. Just use regular yarn. You can untwist the ply to get finer yarn. Hope this helps.
