Daily Babbling- January 27th


 Okay- it's not quite as bad as the cartoon.  I did scrub the sink and kitchen counters. I did eat the daily oranges.  I did make the bed. I did eat a nutritious breakfast. I made the daily ham turkey and grilled cheese sandwiches for husband. I did not do the laundry. I did read an entire book- Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld.  A modern adaption of Jane Austin's Pride and Prejudice.  With airplanes, sex and reality tv.  Did I enjoy it?  Yes.  I am not sure which of her other books I should read.  Curtis is a she.

I have two books remaining on the book table.  Then I will need to order more. Suggestions????

I did some actual coloring on my paper desktop calendar this week.  I drew a cartoon image of husband as he has/ had three appointments this week-- so far.  Lungs, Hair and Eyes. Tomorrow is blank as I pasted the cartoon on top to todays' square.  Hopefully something will happen.????

And we have SNOW.  Some light dry snow but still needs cleaning up.  Supposed to snow off and on for next three days.

There is a bright orange puffy jacket on my sewing room chair.  Seems I am going to be patching a small hole where the feathers are escaping.  Oh?.............  I can't see how my fussy sewing machine is going to accomplish that.  In my fertile imagination- I see the two looking at each other with some hissing and spitting coming from the machine.

In "Good News" I was looking for something and found a new Library Books Notebook.  Barely used. So, lots of pages for me to paste the library slips and make notations on the books as to plot and likeablity. I have often remembered there being three or four of them.  I was correct.  I do not know where they came from but the first is dated to my stay with my father a few years before he died.- single digits.. And it has lawyers and others with phone numbers in the first pages -so after he died.

I also found, washed and formed into shape three artist paint brushes that were looking quite unkept.  Very very nice ones.  So it was almost like a shopping trip to the Art Supply. The brushes along with the color sticks- plenty to be happy about. Tomorrow a picture and a story about something else I found in the Attic.

Try some Liquid Thread to put an applique on the puffy coat. No sewing involved. It's the perfect application for this product. I can't remember if it needs heat. If so, then don't use it. You can get it at the big box fabric store.
