Daily Notes- Monday. Washing Machine Pages/Grocery/Reading No Sunshine.

 Permission was given for this image to be here today.  Deb Lacativa's Artful Thread.  She dyes it on the Hot Deck in Georgia. I use it in Maine. What she said okay to was the Golden Bird Scissors.  We both love the ones we own and use. We should start a Golden Bird Scissor's Club.  Deb can be President and I'll be Recording Secretary.

I mailed the Valentines.  I am now considering something green for St Patrick's Day.  I enjoyed painting the fabric.  A lot.  I forget, most days....years...that painting is my first love.  Not drawing or sewing or cloth.  Painting.  Well, I do enjoy Conte Crayon work as well.  But Paint. Brush. Paper.  Love that.

And now I paint Cloth.  And I love cutting the painted cloth up and using it for patchwork or just sewing it down- sort of like a painting.  I have one that I did long ago.  It's very nice. I REALLY love ironing painted cloth when its dried.  So..so wonderful

I sewed the painted fabric hearts to card stock with a zigzag stitch on the Bernina.  I liked doing that as well. Miss Bernina, not so much.....

Today was deja vu at the grocery.  Right back to those first 60 days of COVID.  No oatmeal.  Yogurt and Dairy shelves almost empty.  No zero alcohol mouthwash.  Zero. And zero regular mouthwash- just like two years ago.....  

Plenty of vegetables and meat.  And I think bread was okay as well.  Washing Clothes Detergent shelves mostly bare. I didn't go down the flour and sugar aisle so no clue as to how that is........I got an extra jar of instant coffee--I know how how this story goes..  

Husband sent me into the storage box part of the Attic- he wanted turtleneck pullovers.  He forgot he "hated" them and we got rid of them.  But I did my due diligence and looked in all the tubs. .... which was a good thing.  I found a too small red cashmere sweater- as a donor for mending and a grey one and a black one.  In perfect condition but too small for me to wear.  I am thinking......how to cut them up to assemble a new sweater.  Larger.  We just need to find the ski neck gators and he can wear those.
