We finally are setting up J's room in the new house so he can at least take a nap in his room.

I went and got my hair did!

Spending each day with J, we have created lots of games and things to entertain ourselves.

Today Baby J and I joined the others at the new house, and I had to improvise a place for him to take a nap!

We are staying at the J's apartment while they work on their new house. I'm spending the days with Baby J while they all go work on ceilings and walls. I got the better end of the deal, for sure!

I can' t let too much time go by without seeing my grandson. We are on our way to Colorado.

Indigo. I made an indigo vat and dyed some fabric with it. It smells funny.

Back home, fancy dinners with my mom are starting up inside again.

Our last day in Richmond, I had to meet up with my lifelong friend LA. We are both grandmothers now. A lifetime of knowing each other....

Oh how I miss this little guy, and love FaceTiming with him.

We drove to Charlottesville today to meet up with my old best friends there, M and K. We spent the afternoon at M's house and then drove into C'ville for Bodo's Bagels. We parked right near the school where I used to teach, which was wierd.

This is my cousin. I found him on 23&Me and we started chatting via email, and then Zoom.. and today we met for dinner in Richmond! He and his wife live in Virginia Beach but they drove to Richmond to meet us. Very cool.

Dan and I are on a trip. First we stopped in Hilton Head to visit with his sister and her family. They rented a house. I brought my accreditation work with me and set up shop in the kitchen table to work on it. We also enjoyed the beach!

Another craft I'm working on is weaving. I'm not sure what the science will be.... but here is a piece I made today.

Today I had some kids over to make paper with me. We did it out back and the paper turned out really well. We used kozo and lavender flowers and some recycled pulp.

So, I love making things, especially things from scraps. It feels good to bring new life to something that would ordinarily be thrown away. I ordered several pounds of fabric scraps from Alabama Chanin. They sell all their scraps. I'm making a blanket from them in this hexagon pattern.

I love making things for Baby J. This is a rattle I made him and will mail him.

Seder dinner table all set... ready to Zoom into my first Seder dinner. I made all the foods on the seder plate, plus roasted a brisket and even made matzo ball soup!

Floam.

When I was getting my PhD I had some of this to fuss with, and when I was shopping at Hobby Lobby I saw it on the shelves so bought it.

We went for a trip to see our niece Em who is studying medicine a couple hours south of here. We got a tour of her school and her apartment and downtown, and went out to lunch.
