urgent self care - part 1

 

Some fundamental stuff starting with a doctor's appointment in an hour. In the meantime...

These two cusspots have become so full they were no longer functional. It's been more than a year because I started the peachy one when the OG cusspot was annoyingly full. 

Now they are both empty and I'll take the contents up to the grove and spread wisps along the branches I can reach but mostly on the ground.

99% of this is DMC cotton thread. Nothing over two or three inches long. 

By the end of March it will all be gone. 

The cream colored one is the very first cusspot I ever made. Once I had settled into the job at the whine mine and started working nights, the first things I brought to entertain myself between calls were a ball of cotton thread and a small crochet hook. Size G, I think. 

I made an eight by eight stitch square and started working around the edges to learn how to increase and decrease to form curved shapes. It's about the size of a lime and the peachy one, an expensive, oversized lemon that's probably mostly skin. They serve me well.
