So I continue to make do as I usually do. I grew up in a family that didn't have much, so this is nothing new to me to know how to cut back. Spam is making a comeback, can remember when we had to eat that meat out of a can, Jim said he'd eat a deer before it came to that, so that's really saying something, since neither one of us could kill a thing, and if we did, we wouldn't know what to do with it.
Some pics to take one's mind off the serious stuff, a beautiful quilt from the Newsletter Mag, 2006, a member of my group has been looking for it and would you believe I have it, in that stack of mags you just can't part with. It will be on the way to her on Monday.
And some make do projects, a felted pillow, to sell or give as a gift, the felted material was given to me by a friend because it looks like a mountain and I was able to open the felted material enough to make a pillow, closed with a button hole stitch with perle cotton.
And then a tote, another something to sell, or give as a gift, the leather handles are from an old purse I used up, wool applique and real antler buttons for the closures.
