I found two more- The one on the left is more tan than the orange it shows up as here. The one on the right- at first I was so excited because it looked silvery grey but it's actually a grey green. Which is good. A quiet color.
My coffee date went well after we found a place that wasn't crowded. So many people out and about on Veteran's Day. We found a table away in a corner. My back to everyone and my companion getting to people watch. I showed her all the cloth I have been working on. She is always taken aback by the hand stitching. Something she thinks is tedious. I enjoy it and she does not. But otherwise she enjoys seeing my work in person and sometimes she asks to hold it. Cloth has a very nice feel in your hands and I like tracing the line of stitches in the seams. I sewed all with black thread. To make sure it was visible. For some reason, I enjoy sewing right now instead of reading.
I went up three times to the Attic to find a fabric to go next on the hot pink and gold. Nothing. In all that Attic- Nothing.
I always see it as a gift. To change course. Someday the cloth I was looking for will show up-- but not now. Now I have to walk a new path. But I did find these two and more of all the others. How many Times did I buy these dots? That tan on the left will go around as soon as I figure out the "breathing" border fabric.
On the wall behind my companion's head- two delightful watercolors of our Town. One- the corner where the Art Store is located and one of the busy Maine street with cars. I would enjoy owning both. I will have to go back when the coffee shop is less crowded and ask about them.
G is having the last of his Chicken Soup. He had to make more noodles. I need to think of something to cook next. I could make a sheet tray of meatballs. I have ground beef in the freezer- let it thaw in the fridge overnight. Sounds like a plan. When I was on my diet I would eat a bowl of just the meatballs as I couldn't have the pasta. I started to look forward to bowls of meatballs. Marinara sauce on them of course. I would not eat a bare meatball.
Well, I sat here long enough and Riley is asleep. He had two large Milk Bone biscuits for lunch so his tummy is full and we had a walk just before I sat down here. He looks so tender when he sleeps- not a care in the World.
Oh something funny- a neighbor two doors down was out at his mailbox at 8 am for our first walk of the day. Green pants fastened at the ankle with something. Gold sweatshirt with a belt. Red hat. I looked and thought- oh no Joanne- too many Hallmark Movies!!! An ELF!!!!
