Well, it has certainly been quite a while since i posted…..the body wasn;t functioning, the mind was doing other things.lol…..then the computer refused to do anything at all! Am on a borrowed laptop at the moment trying to figure out some of what is going on with Vista. And hoping that my desktop will be back soon……….vbg!
In the meantime, the weather is finally normal for this time of year out here in Western pa. a week or so ago it was between 50- and 70 degrees f for three days! Loved it but had to wonder what was going on. Global warming up front and personal.I actually saw flying insects and wondered if i should use bug off!
I have been stitching although not really too much….mostly starting to pick up the sane quilting again….which i have never outgrown a fondness for. In the process of using up major scraps to make a few “tops”-they will be turned into little coverlets. i found that as summer made way to the chillier days of autumn that i didn;t have anything of an “in-between weight” to throw on the bed….a sheet was too light and my blankets were just a tad too heavy. So these totally scrapped up tops will be perfect once they get attached to a backing. i may put some flannel in them but i amy not……who knows! And, all the boxes of scraps are really getting a workout. There is no pattern, just so edges together till i get a panel about the right width for the twin bed i use…..it’s actually lots of fun…..using up some leftover small blocks and strips i had cut and small squares from an exchange in 2000.
Also practice continues with sitting zazen at least once on most days and deepening of my understanding of the triple treasure.
Have also continued to volunteer on the phones for the suicide hot line. So….all in all….days are pretty full of things to do, and things to pay attention to…..
