Inside Outside

Sunday, July 22nd, 2007

Very many suns ago -shortly after the humans returned (late April) they moved two of the pots outside into the communal garden. One of the cacti was rotting away, perhaps because it wasn’t getting enough light -and some tree cuttings (see earlier interior photo) had been sitting indoors doing nothing (neither growing or dying) for […]

White filet crochet skirt

Saturday, July 21st, 2007

This is such a soft skirt that my caregiver made to wear for her auntie’s formal birthday dinner dance last month. It is so soft and I can imagine how lovely it must be if she made a whole dress! I like soft stuff you know, being a soft stuff doggie myself! […]

Trees and Bushes

Saturday, July 21st, 2007

Well, I suppose that the truth can come from the babes and sucklings -so that woolly brained dog has reminded me that I was letting things slip by letting myself get just a bit too distracted with all that unhealthy thinking stuff……

Of hospitals and malls

Saturday, July 21st, 2007

My first posting is called GENERAL GUIDELINES […]

Two crocheted skirts

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

Below is a photo of the white crochet skirt that I used in my auntie’s 75th birthday last June 1. I made about a third of this while I was in GenSan. The pattern for the medallion at the hems is based on a corset-cover yoke design from page 13 of “The Priscilla Yoke Book, […]

Health care

Sunday, July 15th, 2007

Hopefully, I am now on my way to recovery. It was a very difficult three weeks and being plagued by a different sickness each week. After the flu, were four nights of painful sinus pains.
Friday the 13th I managed to feel better enough to go out and see a doctor. (Earlier that day, a hospital […]
