TREASURES & PLEASURES

The weather was still wet and blowsy today; but it backed off enough around noon, to allow me to get to the mailbox/set the garbage and recycle bins out at the curb for tomorrow’s pick-ups/grab a hamburger from Baker’s Corner for lunch – I don’t think I’ll be getting another one there, any time soon: it was so wet (not greasy, but actually wet with pickle & tomato juice), that the bun literally fell apart.

Anyway …

I got back home, sorted the mail, and ate.

A "Thank You" note arrived from GA 😊

Angel Baby Blankets “Thank You” Note, arrived in mail today; the blankets had reached their destination.
16 ct. MOD 21-x21-inch Angel Baby Blankets.

I enjoy designing and crafting. I am glad for this current source of inspirationgrieving is hard; I am glad I can help in this small way, by creating these squares of remembrance blankets the parents can treasure … and ease the pain of their sorrowing hearts.

Thank You, Yeshua.

I enjoyed designing and crafting the remembrance treasures.

Then I paid bills – thank God that’s done for another month.

I heard from a friend in the local hospital, who has recently had surgery: she’s doing okay, but can only have one visitor a day – and she, understandably, is choosing her husband’s visits. I’m glad to hear she’s on the mend.

I also canceled/rescheduled Thursday’s lunch with another friend, downtown this Thursday: weather reports say the sun will be out with a 70-degree sunshine … so, if that’s accurate … I’m going to wash the Highlander on Thursday. It’s so filthy with gravel road dust, highway grime, and wind-blown pollen, that if I didn’t know what color it is – I wouldn’t know. It’s at the point that I am ashamed to take it out of the carport. It needs washed, and Thursday may be the only opportunity for a while, once the Spring rains kick in again.

And, I finished up the last of the Spring hued slippers I’ve been working on the past few days. I wear slippers practically ‘round the clock: the only time I ever wear shoes (or boots), is when I am out-of-house.

I finished up my Spring Slippers this afternoon.

Free Slipper Pattern: https://www.yarnspirations.com/red-heart-slippers-for-her/RHK0127-021153M.html?cgid=patterns

The flooring in the house, here, is wood plank flooring – except in the bathrooms/laundry room, which have linoleum flooring; and the kitchen, which has stone flooring. I can’t have carpet with my asthmatic lungs – and I wouldn’t have carpet anyway because I just don’t like carpet flooring.

Because the kitchen has stone flooring with a rough surface, it will eat up the soles of my slippers if I don’t take precautions; so, I liberally coat the soles with Puff Paint, which hardens and protects the slipper bottoms for about six months (longer if I had different flooring, and didn’t wear them for hours on end, every day 😉).

The slipper soles have been reinforced with Puff Paint, for durability.
They are light, and cozy; I didn’t get fancy with the pattern – I kept it simple.

I prefer the comfort of homemade slippers.

And my feet enjoy the pleasure of being embraced by cozy, colorful, shaped yarn 😊
