In case you cannot tell, this is going to be a random post.

Last night I resolved to put a worthwhile post up here.  This morning, we watch a video talking about internet censorship. Great, I think.  Now I’ll have something to post about. So then, right after breakfast, what does my dear brother do but steal my post. Of course, I suppose I could rant write some more on the subject, such as how I sometimes feel as though I am living in communist china or something like that rather than the US of A,  but I’m not in the mood for that anyway.  Besides, its rather hard to write something that serious when you gave to keep stopping in order to get cookies out of the oven or take toothbrushes away from your baby brother.

Lately I’ve been working on a baby doll quilt for my sister’s birthday. (sshhh….)(hopefully I’ll be able to get some pictures up later) As well as toying with the idea of setting up an Etsy shop. And of course, making cookies. I often finish with the queer feeling that the recipe makes less and less each time, even though I now triple it.  We also took a spontaneous trip to Florida in late January, got a down a bunch of springish clothing, come back to AL, and get the heaviest snowfall (2″) we’ve ever gotten in the 8 years of being down here.  I’ve also been studying Hebrew and doing more sketching.

A couple weeks ago I found a charming old crochet book and I’ve had the funnest time going through it.  Most of the clothing patterns are useable, although most would require some sort of altering,  And there are a huge amount of lace and doily patterns, some of which nearly have me drooling.  It has also shown me once again how much times have changed (it is copyright 1946)….from the beginning of one of the chapters…:

“…a woman with that talent for gracious living will take the trouble and find great pleasure in adding small personal touches to her household linen.  She will initial her sheets, add a graceful handmade edging to her pillow slips and her linen towels. The shelving in her linen closet will be exquisitely edged…..”

I’m not sure I want to go quite so far as that……

Anyway, as I need to go now, I shall end this random post.

Tagging….Anyone who wishes to be.
