SASHIKO SATURDAY

I have had this Sashiko kit for "yonks"; I don't even recall where I got it...

I do remember reading a book about it by Roberta Horton--she did a lot
of Japanese quilting quite a while ago...

It is a relaxing and easy running stitch on a doubled cloth...
love how it looks..


I am doing this while watching the Red Sox games at night; it is easy to
see 👀  👀 ----so, that makes it perfect for lamplight sewing...
Making it easier to
                Keep my hands OFF of food and busy ( hahaha ).

As I am really trying
                              hard to drop lb-age (!!) 
I am only allowing myself tea at night--
                                                         NO 
                                                            SNACKS!!
                                                                 ðŸ˜‹ðŸ˜’
[Tough when the hubster is eating beside me....and not gaining
any weight!!!!! ] How fair is that??????????
