You can never have enough...

Lovely chill in the air this morning, I am contemplating a change in bedding for the seasonal shift, but stripping my bed is always a challenge that needs a few days in the planning! I had a happy few hours this past weekend checking my very thin merinos for holes, and doing a few very amateurish darned repairs. They are so very useful as a layer against our mild winter days so I am loathe to toss them just because they are getting finer and more lacey as the years go by! Today I will tackle the two blacks, and I am going to darn those with coloured silks just for the fun of it.

My hands are getting used to hand sewing again, my stitches are getting smaller and neater, and there is less screeching of swear words as the needle sticks decrease, but I am looking forward to the weather changing as I have plans for that new old sewing machine to occupy my rainy days. And Auckland gets plenty of those in winter. And that might mean a few days away from the jigsaw obsession.

Though I will confess to having acquired a couple of beauties over the summer...
