not having to think

Yesterday, I was under the weather.  That may be an understatement but that is what I am going to say.  I needed to work on a prototype for a larger knife roll yesterday but that did not happen.  Thinking was not working very well.  So I pieced a quilt back.  

I do not have to think much about that.  Hope the colours work.  I have to figure out the configuration I need to get enough fabric.  Most of the time, a solid piece of fabric is not the most interesting.

I think it turned out well but it is always a guess.  There are green fabrics that are so dark they feel almost black.  The larger pieces of blue are quite bright in their own fashion even though I do believe they are an old thrifted bit of fabric.  Vintage does not always mean dull or faded colours!

I am going to work going to work on that prototype today.  I may be off to help with an event tomorrow depending on how I feel.  And of course, Koda Bear comes back from his Dad's.  I miss him.  I will not say any of this is easier when he is around but I can say there is much more joy.  Much more time for books and walks.  He is good about saying he is hungry and it is time to eat.  Which I am not.  I do have much to learn from the small bear.
