In this photo I am with a family friend, who is now dead. It seems sad to think he has gone. He was younger than I, & his whole family has died, apart from his children & grandchildren.
I was very lucky, I had an unusual dressing table with 3 mirrors, & the side mirrors were hinged, & I could sit in the lower centre part, & see all sides of my hair. I even used to cut my own hair quite often. And I would love to have that dear old dressing table in my life today!
I remember the clouds of hairspray those high hair styles took! And the little black dress could have told many tales. My Best Friend J used to share it with me! It saw many a night of fun, & dancing. Would that I should be that slim today!
And this next ugly picture is of my 'groove' these days! It is the groove made by my socks on my swollen leg! Needless to say I dont wear those socks very often.
This next pic, is really a refugee from the Crimes Against Craft. The whole trouser suit thing, with those hideous caps, seemed to be a 70s thing. I never owned nor wore one!
And on a happier note, here is a little bear that came home with me today. I was assured he is a French Bear, by the French man who sold him to me. Never mind that the label says 'Made in China'.
In view of the scandal about Chinese made goods, GOM said I had better not give it to the dogs, they might get poisoned. I indignantly told him it is not for the dogs!! It is for me. "All the more reason not to have it!" he said. But I am not sure he meant that in a kind way.

I rather like the chooks so will try to get myself into the state of mind needed to begin to make something from the pattern.
It is another bleak, cold, grey day, so a good one to spend indoors.

And keep warm or cool, depending on where you are located.
