Yesterday I realized I'd missed a livestream of a presentation on Korean fashion history, around a new book, but I found it on YouTube and here's a few shots in case you'd like to check it out.
Very learned presenters, and appropriation was an issue they tackled, wearing another culture's iconic dress, here the hanbok.
They agreed that if proper credit is given to me origin, and you don't make commercial use of appropriated looks or ideas, it's more or less acceptable.
In other questions, is this giant trying again to take over, despite repeated removals, pigweed, aka amaranth?
And yesterday was Billy the Pup's Spay Day. She came through pretty well, but it was touch and go with Gary. He came over last evening, she was shivering what to do?
I went over and sat with them, stroking Billy's ears till she fell asleep after happily taking a few drops of water off my fingers. She was shivering on the inhale, not the exhale, pretty sure she was doing fine.
She was alert ish and clearly knew me, so I stayed a while and chatted about all kinds of unrelated things, to talk Gary off the ledge. He planned to sleep downstairs with her.
This morning I called, quiet night, she's getting on okay, he sounds done for. He loves his dogs so. I've heard him singing made up songs to Billy when he doesn't know anyone's around! Lovely guy.
Today I'm wearing my Hamptons Skirt, east coast people will know the snooty reference! So named for the ocean colors and rock references.
I finished it last night and made an interesting discovery. As you know I use either hand for a lot of things. But I'd never tried stitching with my left hand. But, the appliques being long, reaching the end of a side meant turning the whole thing around and getting all reorganized to stitch back up the other side.
So I tried just switching hands to stitch back, not moving the work, and found it worked just fine. Another late in life discovery, along with whistling.
And this morning on my early patio prowl, I found small dead twigs inside the Japanese maple, and wondered if I could make something with them.
While I'm wondering, I put them with the current little flower arrangement
Happy day everyone, you never know what you're going to discover next.
