Dear Ones,
I have been sulking on The Situation; forgive my absence. If I don't want to poison others with my desultory feelings of doom, what can I do but stay out of sight and earshot? A question to be considered, but not to be answered right now, right here. There are things going on all over, even as fascism continues to roll over us; it is a slow march down into a deeper hell.
This little mouse is filled with lavender- I made a whole mess of them many years ago and this one was all moth eaten! Yes, I made them to put in drawers and 'repel' moths! This one was sitting on the bookshelf. I decided to repair it with some really lovely sock yarn that I got for free from the wonderful Fiber & Fringe. The wool it is made of was a from a coat I had made even longer ago, and the tail & ears are of the silk that lined the coat.
Additionally, the lavender was still very strong smelling, as it fell out continually as I repaired the holes, and you know what else? This repaired one is so beautiful!
