Hi. What's happening? Winter! That's what's happening.
I need to get rid of linens and so much of them are unknown. Dyed by me? 30 count? I have no idea except for the smaller purchases. The yardage once cut lost its identity unless I marked the selvage edge. I will probably be listing the Linens by Design (Birds of a Feather) on Ebay because I am not familiar with pricing for items that have been off market for a time. Smaller piece of Meadowlark and two pieces of Sparrow, which is gorgeous.
It looks like very dark brown crushed velvet.
One piece is 28 and one is 32.
Meadowlark is 28.
It's a rather heavy but soft linen with thicker threads, tightly woven.
That wonky center piece is an interloper. It is not blue, it is not purple, it's somewhere in between with some shading. Is it mine? Did I purchase this online? I think it's both, I dyed a purchased mottled/shaded/variegated fabric to a color that was not accepted by my phobia. An outcast poor thing. And then there's the 32 count dot. Not sure how many others will make the list but these for sure.
Went for blood work today after they scanned my leg for clots, all is well there. The two week wearing after the treatment and the subsequent ones will have me in compression until May. The stockings really do make a difference in how tired you feel from standing. Once I found the secret to donning them, they are really not a problem. Latex gloves that doc offices use grab the hosiery even from against the leg and allow control for pulling. My favorite body glue (It Stays) keeps them up. Because my legs are so long the thigh highs are too short, I get the ones with the hip panel and waist belt. Kind of like chaps without a holster, without fringe, no studs, not leather, just old lady flesh colored stockings. Oh baby. An older woman in the waiting room was thrilled when I told her about the glue. Her bra strap falls and she is having her son order from Amazon tonight. Great stuff as I mentioned before, for keeping plunging necklines in place, sling backs on, bra/spaghetti straps in place, and compression hose from rolling. Washes off with water, no staining.
Steaks tonight! Another pound tomorrow.
Thanks for visiting!
