Being creative keeps me sane

So the house across the street is cleared of its’ vagrant, the owners put in an alarm and are fixing it up. If they can get the price right, it will sell, problem is, everyone is pricing their houses like they would have a year ago – since then we have inflation and higher interest rates. so house don’t move that fast.

Then we find out that the Democrat running for Mayor – the one who wants to deny the rest of us the ability to be armed had two guns stolen from her house. No money, no jewelry – just TWO guns. I smell a rat, a big one. But hey, that is politics these days.

I added more fruit to the towel.

Done, but I’ve yet to use it, maybe because it is so bright and white.

Progress.

A lot of progress, my program tells me I’m at 75%, I think its’ more, I thought I erased a lot of the background, but I think some of it is still being counted in the stitch count. I don’t care about those kind of details, it’s fun but not important. I’ll let you know when I finish where it thinks I am.

In one of my alphabet books I saw a design with one initial only. Love that idea, I may add my surname initial or maybe my name, but right now, my one color project will have a lot of Ls’.

I’m loving working with only one color. Oh and it’s silk, what’s not to love about red silk.

Shiras’ mom gave her her great grandmothers pearls, and the necklace promptly broke – even silk thread ages and breaks. So I pulled out my tools and restrung the pearls. I was trying to follow instructions on YouTube. I wanted to ream the holes larger in a few pearls, didn’t work, I actually broke the reamer in one of the pearls. So I found a different solution, using two silver beads to try and hide the ends. Btw, these are lovely pearls – they are large and very irregular – not the kind you buy today. I hope Shira takes good care of them.

These two are back at school, Second grade and first grade. Now all grandkids are back. I hope they learn good things and not the garbage that our ‘educators’ feel like they must impart to the children of America.
