Most of the time, I don’t follow the news. Occasionally, I find myself looking in on what’s happening. Last night, I watched with shock the report on the events of the day in Washington DC. Now, if you say, “Washington” around my family, you are generally understood to mean a state in the Pacific Northwest. The other Washington just doesn’t enter into our daily life much. But, it is a significant place where significant events happen with significant people involved. I’m glad I’m not that significant. I can choose to live without such events in my daily life!
My evening continued with a calming activity of creating
lace. Here’s a picture of what I accomplished yesterday:

It is so nice to see DC called the 'other' Washington for a change. Thank you. :)
ReplyDeleteCreating is always better than destroying 👍
ReplyDeleteAre you going to make the whole dissent collar?
ReplyDeleteYes, I'll be loading the beads today for the rows that drop. I find adding beads to patterns really fun!
ReplyDeleteYour header row is stunning. I can hardly wait to see the whole necklace. The color is gorgeous, too.

Your first row is looking beautiful! I really like the combination of thread (what is it?) with the black beads. Look forward to seeing the next row. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you! The thread is Lizbeth Metallics in Gem Tones. As I add to the pattern, you'll see I ended up with 3 different "shades" of black. I'm trying to use up my stash!
