Down time

The new pouch for sewing supplies

 As it gets darker and colder, I find it harder to be enthusiastic about getting out and doing things. Cold water swimming has suffered, especially; I liked my small intimate group, and swimming in the morning so that the rest of my day would be free. Now there’s a bunch of strangers and the swim times are right in the middle of the day, so I just can’t get enthusiastic.

I have been doing better on the arts and crafts front. I haven’t thrown out as much stuff as I would like, but I am making a steady dent in the unfinished projects pile. This week alone I made two kinds of salami, continued to cure my ham, made an experimental bread, sewed myself a coin purse and a pouch for holding sewing supplies, finished a doll, made medieval macaroni and cheese, accompanied by homemade bologna sausage, dyed some fibres, and worked on new masks and repairing a favourite blouse for my daughter. You can read about many if the projects over at https://siglindesarts.wordpress.com.

Today I did absolutely nothing, except a few dishes and a couple of loads of laundry. I slept in, read a book, napped and watched TV.
