From Lori's cool tute comes this top I just finished:
I started using her pattern because I could not think to create myself. However, in short order I became me again and did a bit of ad lib....
I love how it turned out. I do not know why I have gone nuts about buying new fabric, when my favorites are the scrap ones.
Today was all about doom and gloom until:
from gratefulness.org came this message to me.
1. At the ALS clinic on Friday, the good doctor told Mr. O'Quilts that he has now lost 50% of his swallowing ability. Everything is pureed now.
2. The Mr and I went to Hong Kong on our honeymoon 34 years ago.
3. My dear man and I used to work at the Miccosukee Indian reservation. We would drive for an hour through the Everglades in Florida to the reservation. Himself was the tribe counselor and I was the school counselor. I had to work through an interpreter, avoiding eye contact with the elders as was their custom. Alligators galore.
3. I went on a 5 week language study program to what was then the Soviet Union when I was 21 years old. That year all the women wore red and purple rain boots. Evidently that was all that was available. I fell in love with Georgian bread and the subway.
Just FYI...lol ps..if this is a repeat...pls forgive...
xxoo my friends!

WORD FOR THE DAY
Monday, Sep. 1
Monday, Sep. 1
It is a huge danger to pretend that awful things do not happen.
But you need enough hope to keep going. I am trying to make hope.
Flowers grow out of darkness.
