I am friends on Facebook with Robin Anne West, a wonderful quilter. She mentioned a little tea and biscuit snack called TimTams. I asked what are TimTams. And kind Robin responded by sending me a package with an assortment of TimTams and Australia's own Vegemite (more about that later). The TimTams are a big hit in this house...the double coated are especially good so if you can get your hands on them in your neck of the woods, do indulge!
I love movies and going to the theatre to watch one is a favourite outing for me. I get to do that with older grandson these days which is a bit of fun for me. Last week we went to see Spiderman: Homecoming; I enjoyed it very much.
I am a person who prefers to focus on the present day. I'm a little careful with my reminiscing as, like everyone, I've had my share of sad things happen to me. I wonder if the mind somehow holds the feelings even though consciously trying not to think of the events themselves. Would that account for those rarish days when I feel not myself and a little bit down for no good reason. Those are times when I need to go in my sewing room and lose myself. It works for me to keep the morbid thoughts at bay and I can emerge feeling better. Fabric is still cheaper than drugs..LOL.
Speaking of which...do you like this new fabric line called Cottage Charm from Jacquelynne Steeves for Henry Glass and Company. I wonder will she use this for her new BOM in August. I think it is pretty but there are so many around it is hard to choose one over another.
The garden also helps soothe me too I've noticed. I don't need a plan in mind...I'm out there bending down and immediately there is something that needs doing...weeding always, and gradually I am settling down inside as I pull out weeds or note what needs transplanting.
I am so grateful for these pastimes that carry me through my weaker hours.
