Daily Notes- October 20- A Dark and Rainy Day with bursts of Orange Leaves

Freddie Moran's closet.  I was very much impressed by it and tried my best to have one JUST like hers. A Reader mentioned learning of Freddie in my old blog posts from years ago.  I searched the bookshelves but only have one Freddie book.  Freddie's House.  But my "style" back then was Very Freddie.

In fact. I drew a few sketches after finding the book.  I have "plans".  Because I have all the fabric!!!!!

Why do I want dark colors?  Well, actually, I should have said blues.  I would like a jacket covered in blue.  All the shades of blue which I do not own. (The blue shelf has no linen- only commercial prints)

Or, if blue is impossible then woodsy, mossy greens.  Or all the impossibly glorious shades of grey with a sliver of gold.  Those are my colors.  I love red but my only red item is Gregor's sweater.  Not even mine. And a sliver of red is most often just the right amount.

It's rainy.  Wet.  Daughter is at Goodwill.  Found me a "bouncy" old table runner.  I am giving her a touch course in recognizing linen.  Cotton doesn't feel "bouncy".

Storage Wars all day on television.  Yippee.

I have turned a corner.  Books I am re-reading- books that I had a very hard time reading before.  This Time around, I am not having mean thoughts.  Not angry.  I read a certain part- like last night- and I am thinking why did I find this part was awful and mean the last time around?  Nothing here is awful or mean.  So there were things in MY LIFE that were awful and mean.  And they aren't anymore.  And that has the feeling of "acceptance" and "release" and those are good terms.  Feelings.  I am healing or getting better. Whatever it may be- it feels good.

Perhaps with these "new"good feelings- the cloth will follow?  Cloth that will make me smile and laugh out loud? Used to be that way in the sewing room.  So much FUN!!!  Not that way for years and years. But the Magic Attic and the Cloth Closet have waited.  It might be time to have fun again. 

I'll begin with a simple rectangle with black and white background and all the colors in a vase full of flowers. Doable.
