My Little Ladies


I just wrote all this, clicked something WRONG and have to write it all over again…sheesh.

Well, this is about my day off after the semimar. My other half had spied a yard sale headed ‘Seamstress Quits’ in the paper and was then heading downtown to the Sunday Antique Market.

At the former I found ‘Mabel’ a well used sponge dress form (great for pinning) and decided she needed a second career. The seastress in question turned out to be an old family friend so it was meant to be.

The latter found me glomming on to two tiny mannequins which (I’m sure) had my name on them. Cash poor from the trip and Mabel, husband chipped in and they are now mine.

I guess I’ll have to name them…hmmmm…Judi & Punch! Jill & Jill?

    No, this has nothing to do with being a fibre artist in a craft show but having interesting friends. Our friends showed us a house in transition and this is one of the bathrooms, the decor is red… right down to the toe nails on the claw footed tub!!!

    Happy New Year. We’re well into it now and resolutions should be well and truly broken… I know mine is but I’ll persevere. My sister found me this beautiful cup and saucer at Teaopia (where I’ve drunk a few Rooibos latte’s), it’s made to hold both the beverage and a sweetmeat….. there goes my effort…

    Soon we will no longer need these….. hand knitted socks, however I will still keep knitting them as I knit socks the way other folk (well some) smoke….except I don’t stand around in doorways knitting socks. There is a zen to knitting and it can be very calming, it’s a shame we can’t knit on…
