Swamp Thing

My Poison Ivy saga continues,– or at least the poising ivy continues to crawl its way around my person, so any sewing is still on hold, at least while my wrists and arms remain in a crusty oozy stage.    It has been over a week now and the original site of infection is healing, so I do see a ray of hope on the horizon.  To think that I used to be the designated PI person in the household because I never got a rash — goodbye to all that.

On Friday I did get the crotch seam sewn on the linen pants and then I dripped PI ooze onto the lovely yellow linen.  They went in the wash and I was so disgusted I haven’t touched a sewing project since.   Closet cleaning and reading old sewing old Threads Magazines will have to continue to do a short while longer.

It is lovely to have an excuse to lounge about and read, but the forced inactivity is getting to me, as well as the general annoyance and disgust factors that are at play in my personal image awareness.  Still, things are improving, PI is not fatal after all, and fiberly activities will resume.
