Wednesday, July 2nd. Muggy and Damp at 7am. Why am I awake?????

 I took pictures of all the squares for your enjoyment.  Some of the work is okay and others are not.  I tend to work with a handful of cloth strips that may or may not work well with each other..but have a color in common....always have done that.   I have ten to show you.  So ten posts. That top left corner needs a small patch to even up.. this is not one of the the more interesting squares..

After having the Gee's Bend books here in the house..... on the table...I can see the influence the images have had on me.   Use what you have.   If a strip of cloth isn't long enough add a piece of something else...but don't go looking for anything that matches.  I need to do some work on the left top corner. Even things up.  How it got called PATCH work.

1. Itching again this morning....Took a Hot Shower before bed and washed any irritating things off my skin. But feel itchy.  Lots of red bumps... perhaps my shirt has moth hairs on the inside???

2.  Memory problems yesterday regarding some project Son and I were working on. I got confused. And then felt "less than" the rest of the day. Not a great feeling.

3. I'm still watching World Cup Soccer.  Antiques Roadshow. Bones.  Never watch news. Tried watching a movie but...just didn't want to.....Law and Order isn't on ANY channel I get.....so very sad.

4. Finally finished the book I have been reading.  Have new ones on the shelf but actually not much interest.  That worries me as I have always loved reading.  Not much interest in anything.  (I know what that means so don't think I am not aware)

5. My arms are dotted with red blotches from bites and brown tail itches.  Miserable. Yesterday they were fine  And the only thing I do outside is put netting on my ornamental containers in the late afternoon and take it off in the morning. My clothing must have the itchy hairs on them.  

6. The weather- it looks like it might have rained overnight or early this morning.  High humidity at 7am so the day, here in Maine, is going to be miserable.  I am almost out of lemonade.  So will be drinking Sweet Tea.  The boiler is working for some reason- making hot water?????

7. Cold cereal today.  Coffee with the Suduko puzzle.  Then the couch and me sitting there the remainder of the day... keeping myself company..... I wish I was a person who knew how to nap during the day. My husband could fall asleep anywhere and at any time. I never could...still can't.
