This morning I finished the crocheting part of the lapghan
It's about 40"x 30". Now I plan to back it with fleecy grey fabric to make a non drafty wrap, then steam press and send off, with gloves.
I like how the lapghan colors work, with the grey acting like a rest for the eyes, and a uniting element. I'm hoping it cheers the heart of whoever receives it. I have a box ready to go.
And today's Misfits arrived
Raisins, first time I ever saw them at Misfits, so I got an extra bag for the freezer. They'll feature in various baked goods. Also in a nice tangy sauce recipe I like.
Mushrooms for an upcoming omelet mixture with chard. Blueberries with yogurt. Simple stuff just now. January doldrums, low energy time.
I wonder if there's something in the chiming bowl meditation? I did one yesterday for pain and was encouraged by how much better Helen did. And one this morning for relaxing the jaw. I'm a grinder, and that seemed to have an effect, too. So we'll see.
I can't see any harm, given that I'm not in the actual room where the video is done. I imagine there the vibration would be more intense.
I'm told that people with pacemakers are cautioned for this reason, the chance of interference with the set rhythm. I doubt if I'd do an in person session with afib, either.
Anyway happy day everyone, whatever rings your chimes.
Yes, the colours in your lapghan are lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm hoping they'll feel cheerful.
DeleteSomeone will be cozy with that lapghan especially if it's lined. Sadly mailing things here via Canada Post is going to be even further curtailed with the latest increase (25%!!!!) for mailing a letter. First of all they cry the blues because they've lost so much money...then the strike.....and now they think Canadians are going to spend money with them by raising the price by that much. They're pricing themselves right out of business and they can't seem to understand that.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds as if they're desperate. But nowadays we don't need physical mail the way we used to, so there's not much attraction.
DeleteI do love the lapghan. You’re right about the gray. By the way, you can ring my chimes!
ReplyDeleteBest offer I've had all day!
DeleteEasy meals are a good option when energy runs low.
ReplyDeleteYes, just not up to anything complicated at the moment.
DeleteThat lapghan is gorgeous. I find myself sitting under blankets a lot these days!
ReplyDeleteI should think it will be well used.
DeleteI've never thought of the risk of being in a room with sound from the chiming bowls if you have Afib or a pacemaker.
ReplyDeleteSomething to consider.
I bought panko this week too. Of course.
Panko is my secret weapon!
DeleteThat package will bring cozy warmth to some lucky people.
ReplyDeleteI hope so. And the wishes that go with it.
DeleteDo you prefer raisins or sultanas? The latter seem more common but the former are juicier. Currants are awful - nasty little things!
ReplyDeleteI've never found sultanas nor currants in the US. I grew up with them. Someone told me golden raisins are sultanas,but they're nothing like the sultanas my mom used.
DeleteThose colors are lovely and yay to reduced pain! Lower energy here too.
ReplyDeleteIt's partly January and partly the upcoming admin.
DeleteSimple, happy meals. Raisins are good for what ails you.
ReplyDeleteThat's the idea. It's what I'm up for just now.
DeleteI assume lapghan is a made-up term, but a project like that wight be good for Sue. She wants to crochet another afghan, but her hand is pretty sore. Maybe she could do a lapghan, but she likes to follow specific and complex videos, and they probably don't exist.
ReplyDeleteIt's the term which means a small throw. She could search YouTube for instructions but you could easily adapt any afghan to a smaller size.
DeleteJust catching up. I do like Lin Qiqing's work.
ReplyDeleteDo you need to freeze raisins?
It's very breezy here today so our walk may be even shorter than usual. Interesting that the chiming bowl seemed to help you.
I freeze a lot of items I may not use up quickly. I don't know the shelf life of raisins, so it's just in case. I think there was a relaxation around the chiming bowls that might have helped.
