Freecycle, posies and other small things

I'm still winnowing. Art this time. From up in the loft. I've put these on free cycle, in hopes.  They're all framed and wired. That might be an attraction in itself.

One of the cutting things people do, sometimes innocently, is to ask about the frames. Not the art. But I'm not bitter.

And speaking of tiny tasks you finally get around to, the yellow skirt I made a while back, with patch pockets, needed a little something. The fabric is so soft the pockets kind of flop a bit. I've been thinking for, maybe a year mphm mphm, about running elastic along the tops to fix that.

This morning I finally got the skirt out and  found I'd done a really good job, making the pockets of double fabric. Not a hem I could open. Oh. Then I remembered I'm in my pleat period. Bingo. One little pleat in the top of each, nice design touch, and functional. Total time elapsed including finding thread and needle, five minutes.  

You could, of course, say the time elapsed since I first noticed the flopping was vital to the elegance of what now looks like an easy fix. In fact, I think that's what I will say.

And Emma Mitchell has produced a whole array, heck, a panoply, of tiny posies for our mental health.

Happy day, everyone, put your best descriptive foot forward. Nobody else will do it for you.
