Librarians of yore


 If only we had a few vintage librarians in charge.  Everyone would wear their mask, get their vaccine, and just ssshhhh!  And what about the mask litterers?  What kind of a person throws their used mask on the ground?  Littering has risen to a whole new level.

So Mr. Gadget and I are at the Calcondo for a brief stay.  After a year away, we had to check on things.  And I'm happy to report that things are in good shape, and the car has a new battery.  We'll be returning to the east coast tomorrow and to a beautiful spring with no snow and lots of flowers and green trees.

I've been trying to finish my patchwork jacket. It's a rebel-- vexing me at every turn.  It doesn't seem to realize that I have some very nice fabric lying in wait to become another jacket that will be even more exciting.  Maybe it fears being upstaged.

I've been spending a lot of time browsing the internet to see what other jacket makers are doing.  I've looked at so many that now I can pretty much identify their creators. Some are selling their creations for a pretty penny.  I don't think I want to make them to sell, but I guess if someone wrestled me to the ground and made me a great offer I'd consider it.  They are really fun to make.....well, until they get finicky.....and I have a huge scrap stash.  I may need a bulldozer....
