in boxes and packets

Back a ways, petulant feminine was looking for brave volunteers to help her by taking portions of her stash so that she would have less to transport in a big move. I kindly volunteered. Her packet arrived from very far away and was full of these beautiful fabrics! The plum is so cool and there is some of the softest brown linen in there. How nice is that?

The mail also brought me a big box of yard from my grandmother, Honeydew. (Her real name is Dorie. I am her namesake.) Honeydew does needlepoint, and she had built up quite a stash of extra tapestry yarn. When she asked if I could use it I said, Oh Yes! I'm not sure exactly what it will be, but it will be something. Honeydew still has an origami lily I made her when I was 10. It's sitting next to her chair where she reads mysteries and needlepoints and watches golf.

Love to you all,
Dorie
