The slow-motion demolition of
The Club Room is underweigh. (And yes, it's "underweigh," as in anchors aweigh!) The owner
is retiring because of illness and everything in the store is half off. I picked up an adorable hand-painted canvas
of a rabbit and am collaborating with my sister in Florida in choosing the colors of floss for
it as a gift for her. There is a sweetly-sad expression on
the rabbit’s face an incredibly hard thing to draw in any case, and
particularly in this case, where the lines must match the grid of weave so it
can be stitched. And all for half price.
The weather has turned chilly
and wet again – maybe those decades-back forecasters warning of a new ice age
were right after all?

I love the bunny's expression. He looks so thoughtful.

I agree. Maybe a little wistful? I just started stitching him last night.
I think I'll go with wistful, too. Maybe he's sad the needlework shop is closing.
It was such a nice shop, and we all will miss it. If any of you love color and texture, visit a needlepoint shop for a few hours. They have the most amazing range!
That's true, Ellen. Brighter and more beautiful than a heap of gems is a heap of many colors of floss!
