My busy week flypaper thoughts

• Packing now for a six day sewathon with my local guild
• When I emerge I should have all my new season's Jalies done
• And maybe the birthday present for my son-in-law's birthday made
• It was his birthday yesterday
• Remind me too to get cracking on those napkins for Christmas
• You know Christmas 1992
• Fired off the first of my weekly newsletters last night
• It's intended for just learning to sewers
• Send me a message if you want one
• This side project is dedicated to my daughter
• And a young girl I met in Kansas
• She couldn't afford my sessions so waited outside in the hall to ask me questions
• I talked to her at my breaks and instead of lunch
• I tried to share what patterns don't
• Just a little hint can make a difference between thinking it's you and knowing it's them
• I am looking forward to uninterrupted sewing this week
• Life has interruptions
• Daisy is so happy to be home
• And walk her route
• I hear the golf course will open soon
• Also hear that there are new sand trap rules
• That mean everyone doesn't have to wait all day while I take 25 tries to get it out of there
• My policy right now is to golf with only my husband who would golf with the dog if she would go
• And folks who have an excellent sense of humor
• And think conversation on the course is OK
• This narrows it down quite rapidly in the golfing world
• I am considering returning a bit to wovens
• I have been making things in linen and cotton for family
• And damn it's nice to press
• The smell of steam is one of life's most satisfying pressures
• Thank goodness I have given up eating the Easter eggs
• Mainly because I can't find any more
• My husband is planning his vegetable garden
• Another hint I have returned to Nova Scotia
• Can't plant until after the first full moon in June
• He says that means no risk of frost
• It takes skill to make a 10 day growing season work
• I want him to plant celery again
• The fresh stuff has real taste
• Not like those pale rolls of woody newsprint you get at the store
• I also want more rhubarb
• Next to pickled herring rhubarb is my favourite food
• This says something but not sure what
• I am distracted now by wondering if I have enough navy thread for the retreat
• For the first time in my life I am doing a capsule
• Around one base colour
• Better check
• Will post pictures during the week
• Now where's the thread?
