The last couple of days I have been doing a little Kumihimo. I don't really have anything that is really suitable. I tried some cotton yarn but it was too heavy. I have some nylon macrame cord that is ok, but not quite as heavy as I wanted. I got some plastic bobbins at Hobby Lobby, and they worked ok for the heavier yarn, but the lighter weight stuff slipped out. There weren't enough for the pattern that I was doing so I used a couple of old wood thread spools and used the slip knot that I use for bobbin lace making. They worked pretty good but were heavier than the plastic spools so they the work wasn't very even. I think I may hunt out some more spools, they would work good if I had them all around. It's very interesting and I think it could become addictive.
I am still fighting the cold and not feeling very well. I am in a lot of pain, but I think that when the weather warms up I will do better.
I started my Snail trail down in the basement on the treadle. I haven't gotten the T blocks ironed and trimmed so I can put the top together so I started the new one I am putting rick rack between the pieces and calling it Dinosaur Trail. Maybe I will give it to Wyatt for his big boy quilt. I need to check with Etina to see what his likes and color preferences are if he is showing any yet. I was going through the pictures last summer and oh! how I miss those little boys and their cousins Ben and Jazzy.
I'm not sure what I am going to do today. When I went upstairs just now Sam and Gramps were setting up a game on the new coffee table and Sam told me to guess which game it was. I looked at it and guessed battleships. He said no to guess again, so I did some random game and then I had to guess again and of course I was wrong. The he pointed at me told me very seriously it was "Super battleships so you were wrong". Oh boy wrong again. I hide my head in shame! I thank God everyday for the blessings he has given me in the shapes of my beautiful grandchildren and equally beautiful and generous children!
