Life's a Stitch

When my sister and I were little we’d go through my mother’s McCall’s magazines and play Ummm and Uckkk. We’d look at pictures of food and rate them, one or the other. When my own kids were young we played it, too, with Canadian Living Magazine. Tonight the game resurfaced with a twist. Bryant, more sophisticated at 14, was looking through the Hammacher Schlemmer catalogue and invited me to a game of Ummm and Uckkk. That was fun: "The Peaceful Progression Wake Up Clock – Ummmm; the Della Robbia Tabletop Tree – Uckkk. The 3-in-1 Rotating Game Table – Ummmm; the Cordless Lighted Planter Baskets – Uckkk. I’m letting my mind wonder here. The Anny Blatt Honeymoon Mohair – Ummmm, Bernat Fur Out – Uckkk. It’s all a matter of preference.

Not much  progress to report on the kerchief. I’m going down to Bellingham, WA this weekend and will pick out beads for the edge.
