Snowblind & dazzled

 

Laundered my favorite sheets today, treating myself to a nice fresh bed. I've decided that microfiber is only good in the wintertime. Cotton rules my nights.

But these are a pair of linen top sheets from Cuddledown. I'm keeping the twin fitted sheets for the guest bedroom. These are going to become wearables. Thank you, J. If you find any more like these, let me know.

I spent some time measuring me, measuring the tablecloth gown I made last summer, and measuring these beauties. 

There's enough cloth to make four comfy sleep shifts that might get some color. Now that I think about it, one of these should become a tablemopper.

There is an assortment of cusspot bugs (that's an enhancement) that will get some color and I'm still winding thread.

I have to take care not to bite off more than I can chew, workwise. It's not like Sunday will be given over to any churching, and there are plans for HANDS OFF Saturday afternoon. 

 I never bought into Easter beyond the colored eggs and candy. Jim and I didn't want to foster the candy thing beyond a chocolate bunny because sugar was rocket fuel for both my kids. So Easter became a sort of Christmas lite with small toys in the baskets instead of candy. It got expensive as they got older. 

I went to the international farmers market looking for a small, tabletop burner and came away with this dazzling bowl. They had no small burners, but for 9.99, I couldn't leave this behind.

A good-sized tomcat and an Oreo for scale.

I feel quite subversive buying something made in a country that is laughing at the immature antics of the shitweasel in charge. I would not have been able to countenance paying 25$ for this. That's where the price is headed. 

I've always thought of goods from China as basically Crap I Can Live Without. Time will tell about that too.
