Thursday, December 12th. Sunshine after the "Big Storm" blew over and past us. Sunny, 39 degrees and 99% humidity. Green grass.

 Sorting thru the Sewing Room....it took a LONG TIME (and we aren't done).   I had to advocate for things I wanted to keep. Meaning have a reason for keeping....I got to the point of saying "because I want to" (like a two year old)..........I did offload quite a bit and what we kept will be moved into the appropriate color coded tubs.

We found lots of parts etc for the sewing machine.....I don't see myself EVER needing to buy new needles. EVER.  And considering I use the machine about 10 hours per YEAR......NEVER. And sharp pointy things are in their own safe space.  For the first time.  Goodwill is getting quite a few things back...I no longer have an interest in them.  I may have evolved......it could happen.

The light  (sunshine) is very good today so I might give the Annual (missed last two years) watercolor of the Pomegranate a go.... I have the paints, brushes, paper and the Pom ready to go.  And I do need to think about the annual Christmas Card....I have a lovely boxed commercial card...I might just send it.  As the years go by...fewer and fewer cards go out.  I am often saddened by the people who no longer have any contact with me.....drifting away....I miss them.

Deb L- a box of white linen stuff is coming your way- eventually....  Good possibility.   .....we haven't touched the linen closet as yet.... Sam started a box for you. I'll check the tubs of clothing...for linen shirts. and I know two sets of twin sized linen sheets.   Sam reminded me.......

Son printed out a sheet of hexagons for the small art project my former cross the street neighbor asked me to make.  I had been trying to free hand them- which is fine for me but not quite what P wanted.  She wants to remember her grandmother's handmade 30's quilt...Not own it.  My collection of 30's and 40's quilts is moving on to the Antique Market.  The printed sheet of hexagons is perfect. Appreciated.

Well, I actually had quite a bit to say this morning....my cup of tea- in a favorite polka dot cup-- has been reheated twice while I typed this...so I am going to make a fresh cup...read a bit-- perhaps paint or draw or just close my eyes and be old and warm and well cared for......
