Doing a bit of stitching.

 Good afternoon. The weather is a bit iffy at the moment. It's humid, warm, and windy, and keeps threatening rain. I am thinking should I go out. I went to the Post Office in the church and took out some cash, but that's as far as I went. I have places to go, but I am going out tomorrow so I will do several errands all in the same journey. 

I have started my next sewing project. I know, I will make a cover for a book. The book must be about 50 years old, that's a guess, and was found in a book shop in Southampton. Susan, a Lady Trucker friend found it and sent it to me, about 35 years ago, that's another guess. 

It's a sort of patchwork and will have lots of stitching all over it. I am using up some scraps, of which I have plenty. 

This description of the story is inside the front cover. I remember reading about half of it quite a lot of years ago. I might pick it up again but I would have to start at the beginning. I don't have enough patience to read a book all the way through from cover to cover. The original hard back cover is looking a bit sad. It needs a new look. 

Inside the book I found a cutting from a magazine. I remember saving this because the words resonated with me. Even many years ago from an early age, I knew I was destined to do my own thing. There are pin marks near the top where I pinned it onto my notice board, so it caught my eye whenever I was in the room.  

Lunch was a stir fry with chopped onions, frozen peas, and noodles. Very nice. 

It is now 2.30pm. I ought to go out for a short walk. Then I will carry on with the stitching.

Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona
