I must be feeling better because I am noticing little things again, like a few pigeons on a wire. Also, bare tree branches against the darkening afternoon sky, snow drifts, colors, flavors - things I missed in the last few sniffly weeks!
This past Saturday, Paul and I made a pilgrimage to an untapped Value Village way out in the north west part of the city. I found these cool fabrics for $2 and $3 and 4 balls of blue Patons cotton wool for $2. So it was more or less worth feeling really gloomy waiting for the bus home on a desolate windswept corner. Getting home was great though and I spent the rest of that afternoon reading a cheesy novel and drinking tea. Bliss!
Last night I printed up these cards. I love spots. I had originally thought I would use it as a background with something cute on top, but I like it alone. It might be nice repeated on fabric.
I am a 70s bed sheet junkie and totally share in your glee over those excellent finds. I have a stack of beauties that I keep meaning to do "something with". Maybe we can swap ideas! Hope your having a good day tania! :) p.s. very photogenic kitty!
