Was trying that gothic style today.
This afternoon I was sorting through material to decide what to make the little butterfly toy in. Then had to find the relative pattern pieces as there are several different toys in the one pattern. I also cut out some more masks as I think we are gong to be needing them for a good while yet. I may get the machine out this evening and make a start, I have listened to the first disc on another book so will carry on listening to the story while I work.
Another apology, this time to Tina as what I am about to tell you is to say the least a sore point! Some months ago a friend sent Tina the details of some knee braces which boasted ‘No more knee pain’. We eventually realised they were coming from China, on a very slow boat! A week or so ago, after communication with the seller we gave up and she requested her money back. You guessed it, yesterday they arrived. With the best will in the world, and believe me I am ready to give anything a go, they are thick very hard plastic and have an almost impossible to close large hinge. I did try, as did Tina, I couldn’t bend my leg to walk and they dug in when you tried to sit, very awkwardly! They were expensive and it is so disappointing, especially for Tine who had been kind enough to send for them form now. Will add a picture of one and the instructions!
On a completely different note Anya has sent me a couple of very old photographs, one of my parents with all three of us children and the other with my parents, myself and Anya. Oh boy, feeling my age now!
Bye for now.
It has been a horrid day. I’ve not ventured out myself. Like you I found things to occupy me indoors. Nothing as productive as you’ve been doing though. I really do like the calligraphy, specially the gothic style. Once you get the light box you’ll be able to do away with lines on your pages. Mask making and toys too. I think your day must have had more hours in it than mine 😊
ReplyDeleteThat one he’ll of a contraption to strap on your leg! If you did manage to bend your knee with that on it’d probably catapult you into a somersault when it sprung closed 😀 Probably best to give it a miss, but a shame it was not only expensive, but useless.
I love old pictures and those two are great. I bet it’s not only you who’s feeling their age, I bet Anya is too 😊
Definitely not a wasted day, and enjoying another audio book too! Getting quite into them now. Just finished four masks in nice batik material, will put a picture on tomorrow.
DeleteI really was prepared to give the braces a go and had them both on, but seeing me trying to walk with them was pretty comical I imagine!
I like old photos too, you forget how old you are looking now though!
