Today the cleaners had to work with me here, not as easy for them, but they understood it was the heat dictating my staying home.
Meanwhile early this morning, the Freecycled chair went off to a happy recipient who is always organized and reliable, easy to work with.
I messaged her a thanks for that and heard back
This is a star Freecycler. She'd be surprised to hear some of the shenanigans other get up to.
Meanwhile, I'm reading
Easy appealing reading, heatwave book. It's an odd sort of road trip quest story impelled by tragedy, with older people, teenagers and a powerful red cat. And a borrowed Volvo.
And since I'm not making anything at the moment other than a fuss, here's a guided tour of a piece I made years ago, thanks for the nudge Suzanne, when an embroidery guild member showed her work.
You could work on this with kids, I think, big yarn and tapestry needle, plastic canvas seven stitches to the inch. It's sturdy enough to withstand learners and keeps its shape so you can create boxes or other 3D shapes or a purse, notebook cover, quite a few ideas. Cheap too.
You're welcome to copy the stitches if you're interested.
In other creative news, I've signed a Stand up for Science petition to Congress to rescind the shameful move against Dr Fauci of the DOJ working for their audience of one. The hope is to make an embarrassing enough noise that it doesn't happen quietly, if at all.
Otherwise happy day everyone, if we don't stand for something, we'll fall for anything.
