Decades of Style They are working on their website. Do I remember anything about the dress to the left? No. It looked fabulous on her. It was black. I played with the contrast a little, hoping to bring out some details. It didn’t work well, but it’s a little better. The neckline is draped, but [...]

Sick
More Freesia I have pneumonia. I don’t have much energy.
Buttonhole Chisel
Freesia I had to drive over to Dublin to get a buttonhole chisel, but the Dublin Sewing Center didn’t let me down. So I went home and cut my buttonholes. Sewing on the buttons is going slower. They are shank buttons, so I can’t do it on the machine. I just love freesia.
Eating Disorder or the Bitching Part
Purple Freesia I am not making any progress with the eating disorder. I’m not even journalling which is really bad. That’s supposed to be the first step towards getting well. I don’t seem to be able to a single day without a binge. Wah, wah, wah, poor me. Enough beating myself up. I have to [...]
Gargoyles
Gargoyle Candle Holder The straps holding this gargoyle broke, so I took him down from where he was hanging. I decided I didn’t want him anymore. Chunguita asked me what I was doing with him, and I said, “I’m going to sell him on ebay.” According to Chunguita, “Who would want to buy that?” From [...]
Another Day, Another Binge?
I hope not. I think part of my problem last weekend was that I was hungry. I upped my caloric intake to 1900 calories/day. I’m not supposed to be trying to lose weight while I’m doing the ED therapy, probably not until I’m well.
Monday Morning

Stolen!
My husband left the truck unlocked last night, and his cell phone and gps thingy were stolen out of it. He’s been careless like this before. I remember him leaving my car unlocked with the keys in it. He lost all driving priveledges at that point. Hopefully, he won’t be careless again.
Almost Done
daffodils My jean jacket is almost finished. If I had one of my buttonhole chisels, I would have finished it. I’m going to wait until next week to go to Joann’s. Granny slipped me a twenty to buy fabric with on her way out. It was sweet, but I wish she wouldn’t do that. We [...]
Buttonhole Chisel
I have 2; can I find either of them?
