Dang, I can feel the edge of
my ICD, just where my chest becomes my armpit, and it itchesssss….. It’s not the suture though, that’s nearly healed up.
Trying not to scratch. (grin) I had an appointment with my primary care doctor
today, just a post-hospitalization check, it’s required, but it was cancelled, ‘cause
she had a doctor appointment of her own !
Spent a good chunk of the
day the usual Monday way – cleaning up from the wreckage of the weekend. I
couldn’t even put a bowl of cereal down anywhere on the Arena this morning, it
was so cluttered with felt and thread and notes and dolls. Gosh, I love
creative disaster areas ! I happily tidied up, knowing I’d mess it up again later.
Beloved Hubby was home
early, so we had a late lunch/early dinner of pizza, and I got set up to make
another pair of doll shoes – this time, to see how they fit Timey Tell. While I
was told from my earliest years that pink and red clash, it was fairly typical
to see those colors together on dolls of the 70s. Besides, I wanted to use as
much as I could of the small spool of red, one of the eight spools of Mettler I
bought shortly after getting Brody back in ’09, a couple months before getting
the glorious Madeira Treasure Chest. Yes, I did experiment with regular thread
first. Brody didn’t seem to mind working with heavier-than-expected stuff, but
once I saw how much better embroidery thread looked, I never looked back.
But first, Beloved wanted to get a few groceries, so off we went. I snagged seven more sheets of
felt – Mal-Wart had colors and patterns Hancock Fabrics lacked – and an
eight-pound bag of Red Delicious apples. I’ll eat fruit if it’s available, and
we haven’t been buying it, so my taste for chips and crackers has roared
through my psyche. Time to beat it back down, with juicy, sweet apples. I’m so
going back for oranges soon.
I saw Frozen yogurt, Frozen
water, and pseudo-Frozen chicken
soup. I have to say ‘pseudo’ , because while Anna and Elsa were the only
characters pictured on the can, the ‘fun pasta shapes’ were actually mish-mash
of all currently popular Disney Princesses and a few props. Sneaky Campbell’s !
Once home, I stitched up the
doll shoes I’d started and enjoyed a fantastic apple. And the shoes fit Timey
great ! A cheep sheet of felt (about 23¢ or so around here) makes three shoes
with some scraps for smaller projects, so colors I want for shoes for both
Timey and the DP&M girls, I have
to buy two of !
Well, it’s late, and we have
Game Day tomorrow. Not sure how I feel about having a social life again… but going
is all about Dearest Son, not me.
Hello from Spain: Fabulous new shoes. Lovely. Keep in touch
