Life Goes on Frugally
Saturday, February 06, 2010
The lights went out last night during a big rain storm - & we put candles up everywhere - So atmospheric! and we even had enough to give to our neighborhood lady - who otherwise would have been in the dark! I will have to take more candlelit baths - a Valentine's Day idea!
Also noodled in the dark on my concertina. Hubby always noodles on his guitar - but I almost always play the concertina on the boat?
I seem to have lost a pair of my reading glasses - and am on the secondary ones. Boy, am I glad I have those.
I have woven 2 little mats on my square little loom which I found with the rest of my old yarn while we were moving into the new storage area. They make nice coasters, I think. If I can make a bigger loom (apparently you can make ones out of cardboard) I am thinking of making placemats. Whew! In the 30's they actually made HUNDREDS of these little woven wool squares & made suits and dresses and coats - even bathing suits out of them! I don't know how they made them so neat, tho. But the modular patterns do give you ideas.
Otherwise it's been a quiet week here in Lake Woebegon come Hollywood.. Rainy & chilly. I took several potted plants out to get some rain water & an airing. Oh - someone took the funky fruniture I put outside in the driveway area into the TRASH! Hubby found it & retrieved it all. At least it wasn't stolen. But everyone knows who put it out there - so why didn't they just come to me instead? I keep on trying to claim some outside space & you really can't put out stuff that is too nice or it will get stolen - or just disappear! Here I am in S. Calif. trying to eke out a space to sit outside! How ironic.
But all's well that ends well - see ya.
