I’m still working on weaving my pickup band but it’s almost done. It’s a slow but pleasant weave and I’m really in no hurry. I’m tickled pink about the heddle frame I’m using; Bob made it for me and I made string heddles for it. It has regular heddles with little eyes and pattern ones, too, so I can do pickup patterns easily. It works so well, and the best thing is that I can have any configuration of slots, holes, and pattern slots that I want, just by adding more heddles.
I’ve made a dust cover for my sewing machine using fabric I purchased a year ago.
The motorhome has been moved to the site across the street and next to us. It’s good to have it nearby so we can keep an eye on it. Bob has been fixing little things on it and is in the process of washing it down.
I’ve got a little garden growing on my windowsill, and I’m also growing sunflower sprouts and mung bean sprouts.
We have gotten to the grocery store once since April 6 (with the help of some neighbors who have picked things up for us when they went) and are prepared to stay away for at least another week.
We are able to see friends every day, too, as we stay six feet away. We gather each morning for the Pledge of Allegiance in front of the clubhouse. Then we sing the national anthem and say a prayer for our country. A few minutes of chitchat and we are on our way. We enjoy this little ritual.
Hoping you all are well and hanging in there!
