Yesterday was one of those days that is just a little off. It's weird how they crop up and both weird and delightful when they disappear... like today.
Today is as spot on as yesterday was off and I have no usable evidence to support my assertion. It's just so.
The woman who takes all the teddy bears I can make now has a website for her Baby Bank. Whoever did it for her did a bang up job. It's really perfect for what she needs and sweet and pretty, too. I wish more websites were as simple and straightforward and attractive as this one!
Fedex says my new toy will arrive on Friday. I'm kind of delighted by that.
There is nothing that has to be done today so it's another one of those fabulous dowhateverIwant days. I just treasure those suckers.
I have rarely done much holiday decorating of any kind. I don't object to it. But, when I see special decorations set out, all I can think of is the chore, after the festivities, of putting all that crap away. I actually think I have some holiday lights in a drawer somewhere. I should move them to the Goodwill bag.
In the six years after my Dad died, I went across country to my Mom's in Charleston, SC every Thanksgiving. We had great Thanksgivings. But, except for those, I really haven't done anything special for any holidays in decades. The effort/benefit balance just isn't there for me.
My every day life is fine and dandy. No need to guss it up for special days.
There's a guy that I met on Google + a while back. I read his stuff, he reads mine. He's a bit more active that I am. He lives in the northeast somewhere. I just posted the Baby Bank's new website on Google + and he went there and "made a small donation to babybankofseattle in your name because of my admiration of your dedication to this very needed agency."
How cool is that?? Very cool.
I think I'll go sew for a while.

What a nice day
Dec. 9th, 2015 03:36 pmToday has been nothing outstanding. Just a nice, peaceful day of this and that.
Earlier this week, I took out all my leftover bits of non-knit fabric and cleaned it up (cut off weird ends and made each piece a square or a rectangle) and folded it up nicely and rehung it in the closet so I can see everything and know at a glance what is there.
Then I decided to make something out of the bits. I cut them all into strips and made new chair back covers and I love them! So I kept going. I am now making place mats and napkins. I just this afternoon got to the point where I know I am going to use up all the scraps and have enough to finish. I'm quite delighted with myself.
Now I'm doing laundry. I don't like doing laundry when I'm sewing. It's all in the same small room and I don't like laundry noise. So I turned off the machine for the day. That machine, by the way, is fabulous. What a great purchase that was.
While the laundry is laundrying, I think I'll watch The American Great British Bake Off. I'm actually kind of impressed how it keeps the bests part of it's British mother's version. I also like how they started off with only 6 contestants instead of supersizing as Americans are wont to do. I hope they repeat with a non-holiday version.
I've got leftover Chinese defrosting for dinner. All is cool.
Plus, I saw this on twitter this afternoon and it just made my day. I'm not at all used to Baptists sticking their neck out like this and I love it. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy about my whole town.
