-> ->  RH> picture. It's all cotton velveteens, probably meant as
upholstry.
-> ->  RH> Nothing quite matches up size-wise.
-> 
-> -> A real fun time then. I'm hoping to get bact tomorrow to the sewing 
that
-> -> was put on hold last week.
-> 
->  RH> That's one way of putting it.  Nothing really lines up either. 
It's 
a
->  RH> good thing they threw in a little extra fabric.
-> 
-> Extra fabric always helps. Make some sashing strips or something to
-> separate out the blocks and nobody will notice they're off size. You can
-> make the sashing varying widths to accomodate the odd block sizes.
-> 
It's a little late for that unfortunately.  Whoever did this made the
pieced 
squares a little larger than the solid blocks.  I'll just have to fudge 
things a bit.

-> -> lunch to take with me--not a fancy one but one that would give me a
-> -> balance of carbs and protein.
-> 
->  RH> ... and that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg.
-> 
-> No, since I had everything on hand, didn't cost but a bit of time. OTOH,
-> the suppers I bought were basic so none were over $6.00 either. Not the
-> fanciest of meals but put something into me I didn't have to cook or
-> clean up (other than tossing the container and plastic ware into the
-> trash).
-> 
That's always useful.  
 
-> -> I know; I've had the apple cart upset too many times to know the 
number,
-> -> over the years. Anyway, the orthotics reschedule is tomorrow.
-> 
->  RH> You're driving. :-)
-> 
-> I stayed home, doing laundry & baking bread. A friend from church took
-> him.

Good.  Better that than a cab for certain.
 
->  RH> Some folks like their pieces flawless. Unless it's porcelain, I
tend
->  RH> not to.
-> 
-> I don't mind flawless--shows that nobody is perfect. We go for classic
-> simplicity--found a small blue topaz heart on a fine gold chain last
-> night--fit the simple and classic requirements quite well.

It wouldn't be my thing, but only because I'm not that into blue topaz.  My 
favorite stones are ones that haven't been treated in some way.  
 
-> -> That, and I'd check out the jewelry. Looking to replace several
pieces
-> -> or get components and use chains I already have.
-> 
->  RH> That's certainly true.  It's not cheap, but they have lots of
things
->  RH> regular jewelry places don't.
-> 
-> Might find some of what I'm looking for. Do they have a web site?

No, but other places would.  Getting Jewish jewelry isn't all that hard 
these days.
 
->  RH> In my case a lot of it's old stock.  Things that were buried in the
->  RH> pile years ago and not seen since.
-> 
-> Amazing, what treasures you find when you dig thru old piles of stuff.
-> (G)
True.  A friend has been threatening to hold an unboxing party for herself.  
She moved some stuff back from California probably 20 years ago, and never 
opened the boxes once she got here.  She doesn't even know what's in them 
any more, besides stuff she didn't need.
 
-> -> and cupcakes. I traded cooking weeks so will cook next week instead
of
-> -> doing so this week, as is the normal rotation.
-> 
->  RH> You were a little busy.
-> 
-> Sitting in a hospital room--not so much busy as preoccupied.

And wondering what God is up to THIS time.
