Finally I am feeling better (yea!!!), and I’ve actually earned a long tea break. Energy has been on the slack side for over a week, but this morning I woke up determined to feel better. Sometimes the mindset is half the battle…I’m hoping this is one of those times, because I am tired of being sick.
Over the past couple days I’ve mulled over in my mind an apron I am making for my horse-loving granddaughter. This morning I started stitching it. The body of the apron is a re-purposed blue jean leg and the accent fabric is a sweet remnant of “You Go Girl” by Dawn of Sun Valley I picked up one afternoon when she and I stopped by my favorite sewing shop. The pocket is not sewn on crooked…but it sure looks that way in the picture. Somethings are puzzling and that’s one. I think she’ll be thrilled.
After taking my dear husband his lunch and a thermos of fresh black Irish Breakfast tea, I came home and filled my clotheslines with laundry to dry in the sunny breeze. Now it’s time to treat myself to a cup of hot Zen tea and a movie. Bubba and I are going to kick back on the couch and watch “Bright Star”. It’s a newly released movie I’ve wanted to see. Thanks to Netflix it was in my mailbox when I got home. I’ll sit and knit and relax…what a perfect way to spend tea time.
Here is the the stocking stitch scarf I made that curls…the green piece is all knit stitch and so far is behaving itself. Both Heather and Kimmie suggested adding a crocheted border to see if that helps it lay flat…if not I’ll use it anyway and prize it for my first ever completed knitting project. First of many, I hope. (The picture shows the curl and fringe. I didn’t have a model so it really doesn’t look too scarfy.
For more Tea on Tuesday visit Kimmie at Art In Red Wagons. I’m going to make my rounds as soon as I finish watching Bright Star. 🙂
Until next time…

Lovely stopping by for tea with you Judy!
Sorry you’ve been under the weather, glad things are looking up!
An apron from a jean leg = Love it!!!
Bright Star is a beautiful film, DH and I went into Wash DC to see it last year (not that long ago ;)) … seemed it was only playing a limited engagement in theaters!
Take good care, you are the second tea person to not be feeling up to snuff!

Hi Jean,
Glad to see that you could join us, I hope that you liked the movie!
To help keep a scarf from curling on the edges, I stitch the first and last stitch opposite from what the rest of the row will be stitched; so if the row is knit, then purl the first stitch and last stitch and so on.
I hope that your strength continues! hugs Christen
So glad you are feeling better. I love the scarf colors! Enjoy your tea.
Hello I was there for Tea – the cat pictures were added later – after tea !
I love the apron – they are all the rage at the moment aren’t they – home made aprons .
the dog looks so cosy ! Glad you are feeling better
Keep on feeling better …. Love your apron. I have two blue jean aprons that are my work horses, so to speak. I’ve had them for years and they are made from the backside of the jeans with the pockets still intact. I even find myself working outdoors with one on. Your granddaughter is going to love it forever! Lennie
Sorry to hear you’ve been feeling under the weather, tho good to know that you’re recovering. And, I do enjoy your aprons, and this one is no exception (I hope this is a compliment, because I mean it as one).
Are you feeling the urge to make and create a bit more lately?
