Purls to live by! @Susan Weller

@Shelby Whitlock That sounds like a very worthwhile project. Be careful not to overdo it. It can set back your recovery if you push too hard too soon.

@Vicki Lynch No. Mine is more like the Boston Tea Party from American history when they dumped all the tea into Boston Harbor. It’s made with hot water, sugar, and milk or cream as if having tea, but without the tea. My Grandmother used to make it for me when I had a sore throat—very soothing. I have had to give up tea and coffee. But I can still tolerate Boston tea. I don’t drink alcohol at all. I didn’t know there other drinks with the same name. Learn something new every day!

@Vicki Lynch Here’s something I’ve started doing in a restaurant. If other people are having coffee or hot tea, I ask if they can make me Boston tea. Of course, the wait staff have no idea what it is. Once I explain it to them, they are able to make it for me. They usually don’t charge me for the milk.

Those look fun!! I am still deciding what to order.

I am going out of state to my great niece’s wedding. We will be traveling about 10 hrs each way. So I am starting projects that I can work on in the car. I’ll be cinching ends, closing tubes, attaching ears and hats on three sleepy bears and finishing their faces. I will take a bag of fiberfill and I-cord to finish a bunch of pumpkins too. I’ll be making Xs and Os from I-cord for two tic tac toe “boards” — one is already assembled. The other tubes will be joined in the car, too. In the next week I expect to finish several and make substantial progress on others.

@Jeanne Im Just finished my first one. Discovered a yarn I don’t want to use again. The scarf was okay on the Caydo, but sewing with it was very frustrating! It was slippery and split so easily. Hard to work with. Loops and Threads Facets yarn, variegated Silver and argent. The scarf is lovely. But the hand sewing isn’t.
