Hi Dear Folk,
Snowed in, guilt free day. I caught the 4:30PM train out of the city, yippee and it was on time, I only just caught it as my boss at the last minute said you can catch the 4:30PM train if you like and I still had to do the FEDEX package. I got down there by the skin of my teeth, then we had to sit for five minutes, one of the crew hadn't arrived. I was happy, home by 5:30PM.
Today The Boy went to work, he said for a few hours and Mr. B. decided to go out shopping, I think it's just an excuse to drive in the snow, you know men.
Before going out, Mr. B. repaired the switch on my gas stove in the sun porch, I couldn't use it, so now I'm happily sitting out here with the fire going, doing a little crochet.
Look at my lovely thrift find. Mr. B. on Sunday said do you want to pop over to the thrift, a holiday sale on and we did. I found this lovely knee length J. Jill skirt, I fell in love with the fabric which I think is very sixties both in pattern texture and colour. Would have been an expensive skirt.
Here is my little crochet, wool from the Isle of Skye I am going to call it my Waternish scarf, Waternish being an area on the Isle of Skye and the colours remind me of water. It was crocheting up a little too tight, so undid it and started again with a larger crochet hook.
As you can see the snow is really coming down.
This plaque was Mr. B's mum's, I think from the thirties or forties, it reminds me of Wales, when I was cleaning this room last week, I thought it would look nice sitting in front of the stove. Such a cozy scene.
Did anyone watch "A Stitch In Time" on You Tube? Such an interesting series of programs. I wish there were more.
I pulled out the old bill file that I am going to use for my journal, for my trip to Europe. Have to think of what I want to do with that.
Have a nice cup of coffee in my Heffers of Cambridge mug, Heffers is a book store in Cambridge, quite famous, old and well used in a University town. I remember years ago getting a biology book there, to help me with my classes at school. I went to a school heavily in the sciences. Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Agricultural Science, plus you could have split those off into Zoology and Botany.
It says the following on the mug, I won't write it all -
argue in archaeology, buzz in biology, chat over coffee, dream in divinity, explore economics,
and so it goes on right down to Z.
Well Mr. B. is back and I have to put the shopping away.
Bye for now,
Christine

I love the skirt, the yarn and the lovely old plaque. yes it does remind me of Wales. I would so love to be snowed in. That is a lot to have on a mug. Typical of Cambridge. Son and his wife are there today.
ReplyDeleteI used to buy so many clothes from J Jill - before they had stores. Like J Crew, I liked it better before they got "big." Pretty yarn!!
