2° of Separation

You have all heard that almost everyone is related to Kevin Bacon by 6° of separation, well I'm related to Village on a Diet by 2°.

Like so many in the early days of a new year, I want to do better for myself, so I tuned in. My heart skipped a beat then proceeded to race along as I got to see more and more of Dr. Ali Zenter.

We have never met nor do I expect to make her acquaintance but I did get a very nice email from her after I initiated questions in regards to the last days of my dear brother Mark's life. Dr Zenter was his attending physician. I found myself watching her vs watching the show as a whole and I like her style and compassion she showed for the one woman after she learned her body age.

It would appear that I have learned a lesson tonight for a reason I may not truly understand.

Beautiful handcrafted trim

DH installed new shelves over my work table this past weekend. They are so nice, they inspired me to go through my trunk of fabirc and so some purging.

I came across these linens that my late grandmother had decorated with some of her crochet trim. The bottom green piece is what is left from a set of sheets she made for my hope chest. The sheets have long since worn out, but I did keep the top and pillow slips.

I'm going to make new pillow slips and incorporate the crochet trim but I need ideas on how to preserve the embroidery. The fabric is very thin and too large to just put into a shadow box of memories. Any ideas would be welcomed. I really miss this kind of craftsmanship of days gone by when linens really were a thing of beauty!
