More of the Trip Up
This is Mount Rainier from the south, with the town of Longview in the foreground. I had just crossed the bridge, done some crawling through the town in the company of many truckers, most of whom had business in town, and am now pulled over on the road out of town to take some of…

Some Non-Linear Narrative …
Back a couple of entries, I ended with all the unfinished bits I had to clear before the trip. This is the only one that I did clear. Couldn’t do anything else on the loom until I got this off the loom, and I was dreading it: about three feet of warp, of which I’d…

I Took a Trip
This is Mount Rainier … I’m pretty sure … seen from my hotel window in Tacoma, Washington, and on the only day it was visible during the five days I was in the room. February. It’s a very tall mountain and rather far away, and the clouds do gather round in winter. In Tacoma in…

Happy New Year !
Better late than not at all! And look at what Santa brought me! I used to have quite a collection of PlayMobil: the castle and all manner of Medieval Peoples with accoutrements. Alas, they do not do the castle anymore, but I’ll bet it comes around again. Just have to keep an eye out. And…

Not Making …
Ah, to be an anxiety-ridden putz. I got the idea for a new Dicken’s Christmas Bonnet from the YouTube, and thought it would make a nice birthday present for my sister. That was in August. It is November now, November 28th. Mulling something over, but being afraid to just start the damned thing, for three…

A Muse …
Here is a seasonal picture … the Pumpkin Spice Popcorn has been remaindered. And this is only right and proper. What ever were they thinking? When I started this off-&-on project of a blog, the theme of the car-dwelling was supposed to be prominent, but lately it doesn’t seem to have been so. I think…

Not Jailed Yet !
There. Would a violent felon embroider so prettily? This is a garment for the wintertime, mended. I sewed it myself, probably ten years ago. It mostly hung in the closet the first few years. I deliberately enlarged the pattern, but didn’t, you know, measure. And so it was too enlarged, and I didn’t like the…

A Restful Sunday, and Then …
I took a car photo last Sunday, thinking to build a post around it. I was stitching hexagons together, moving on, after some months, from just the stitching of the hexies themselves. And I am already on the fourth panel of my rice bag. I like them. Stitching them together was initially daunting. The piecing…

Hexagons
In the car, in Monterey, I stitched hexagons. Incessantly. The dreary workshop was only two and a half days. I was down there for two weeks, and all I did for the rest of the trip was find a pretty shady spot to park and stitch hexagons. The ocean is the best. It makes a…

Moving Along
What does it mean if it takes a person several months to get some mending organized? Perhaps she is distracted? My gray linen shirt, which I have worn to work for easily ten years, is wearing out. I went through an elbow. Wish I’d caught it before I went entirely through the fabric. A worn…
