So I am trying my hardest to fit in, in Nauvoo. We are in the winter months and things are slow………………………………..Did I say slow? We only gave three tours in the Bakery and four in the Cultural Hall today. So that means we have a few hours to kill. I really enjoy working with the women and some of them are just so amazing. Truly I am making lifelong friends here. But I do have to rest my mouth and ears for a few minutes during the day.
Meanwhile I am always needing to keep my hands busy. So I have taken up “stick sewing.” AKA Crocheting. I have never done it before and never had a real desire, but I do now. (I think about all of the women’s statues in the Women’s Garden here and realize that I am on the last statue or phase, of a woman’s life. How sad is that? She is sitting in a rocking chair quilting, so I guess I am on course.)
The yarn is so soft and fluffy, I thought it would be something for the kids to wrap up in, like a hug from Nonna. This is my first one and I still need to put a border around it. For taking it apart three times, I think it is looking pretty good. Anyway, it is made with love and that’s the best I can do. So who gets the first one??? I don’t know. I bought this in Shea’s colors but should the youngest ones get them first. Then I am waiting on different colors to make for the boys. It is my goal to have all 12 of them done before another child comes along, or I get off of my mission. Which will come first?
