TODAY

Quilt top: Pinned.

Now I have to find some pieces of my sewing machine before I can start.  You know how it goes…you put something somewhere so you don’t lose it.  That’s me.  There is a flat plate that goes around the machine arm.  Sewing large pieces is much easier with that plate on the machine.  I checked in the garage yesterday.  Not there.  Let us hope it is upstairs somewhere.

Bobbie is a painter of some note.  I love saying that.  She did a show several years ago using crows to represent members of her family.  Dead crows for dead folks etc,.  She loves crows.  She started her life in art as an illustrator.  Very realistic.  Very formal.  These two center panels represent her transition from the formality of Mondrian to the Expressionism and Abstractionism found in the art world today.  They are a mandala of color in a two shade of purple background.

My whole goal of the day, after posting this, is to find that carefully saved sewing machine plate.

Yes, I see you are laughing at me.  I am too.

• Himself:  His work queue has picked up at last.  He’s back to eating his main meal at noon.  A short visit with Poolie tonight.
• Me, myself, and I:  Finding the sewing machine plate, laundry, and reading.  Heaven.
• Reading:  Finished a history of photography in the 20th century and a Baldacci.  Not one thing at the moment.  Next on the pile on the list is Winspear’s Journey to Munich.
• Captain Poolie:  Dozing.  Music in her ears.  Quiet family around her.
• Gratitude’s:  That we are here today.
