Counselling with benefits; cheaper than therapy

It’s certainly cheaper than therapy, and I get to give as well as receive.

I have been going to the same hairdresser for more than 20 years, every 5 weeks  I go and get my grey roots covered, I often see the same fellow customers who have also been customers for years, it is like a self help group. We have shared our ups and downs getting sympathy and advice, and giving it in return, sharing knowledge or simply a sympathetic ear. No doubt  I am talked about when I’m not there but I don’t mind, if my experiences can be of help, or dire warning to others all well and good, and if it merely gives folks something to laugh at that’s OK too. It’s certainly cheaper than therapy, and I get to give as well as receive.

People also give what they have and don’t need, to those who might make use of it, and this is how I came to acquire some furnishing fabrics.  They are multi coloured samples of a heavy silk weight, probably polyester, which I think I can use for foundation piecing.

 

printed foundation

When I was emptying my cupboard , in order to move it without doing ourselves an injury, I found these pre-printed foundation patterns. I think I will make a rainbow coloured quilt from the silks.  It will turn out quite stiff, so it may end up being a wall hanging or maybe it could be a bag…… decisions …decisions.
