This box has not been opened in a while.
Marjory opened it when she visited the other day and blew out some cobwebs.
Along with the sewing mojo, there has been a return to the reading mojo. This deliciously springtime yellow edition of 'the Secret Garden' was given to me for my birthday recently and has been a most wonderful and fitting return to book reading. If you haven't ever read it, it's about a sickly child's recovery and re-emergence into life in a glorious spring-filled garden. There is life symmetry here people. I haven't read it since I was in single digits but relished rereading it in the rainy weather with the girls curled up listening along.
The crochet mojo is back too with the appearance of a vast number of granny squares to be crocheted together now into the 'radiation rug'. (sequel to the biopsy blanket and chemo quilt)
Two rows down, eight to go.
Almost there!
Love seeing Marjorie!! That blanket is looking awesome! love the colours!
ReplyDeleteIt's you! So happy to see you again! Hope you are all with mojo too. Where do I find you?
DeleteThe case is filled with possibilities.

I'm so glad more of the old you is staring to return, can't wait to see what you come up with! :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad Marjory has turned up with a well packed trunk. Suggests she might be staying a while..... mel x
ReplyDeleteShe is a bit fickle, this Marjory. We'll see if she sticks around!
DeleteI read Secret Garden when I was a teenager, and saw the play in a Broadway show 20 years ago. It's such a great story about the importance of beeing connected to earth and the ground. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour blanket is great! Can't wait to see it finished. Have a nice weekend.
I read it this time and felt the angry isolation of the sick boy, his re-emergence from a dark weakened place into light and new strength....seriously!
Deleteit seems to me , looking back, that the right book fell into my hands at the right time.
ReplyDeleteCan you tell Marg that I love her pincushion?
And also Mother Rabbit doing her bit with knitting needles.
Radiation has revealed a colourful emergence.
Anna in Toowoombagave me that rainbow pincushion at the end of chemo and Mother Rabbit was from my lovely sister. You are right about the book too. Books have a way of finding people at the right time don't they?
DeleteGood to see the mojos are in alignment! Great book choice too.
ReplyDeleteSnap! I recently started reading the secret garden to the kids. it was one of my favourite books as a child, though i hadn't read it for years, either. It's nice to see them enjoying it now.
