Flora is sewing herself a skirt. She picked out the material and I found a simple pattern. She is doing the sewing with our neighbor, who is such a good seamstress. They both spent a whole afternoon sewing and chatting the other day.
Flora näht sich einen Rock. Sie hat sich den Stoff selbst ausgesucht und ich habe ein Schnittmuster für sie gefunden. Sie näht ihn bei unserer Nachbarin, die sehr gut nähen kann. Neulich hat sie den ganzen Nachmittag mit ihr zusammen genäht und geschwatzt.
Moon today

This looks like nothing, but was my attempt of taking a picture of Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, which we saw tonight.
Das hier sieht wie nichts Besonders aus, aber ich habe versucht den Kometen Tsuchinshan-ATLAS zu fotografieren, den man hier im Moment abends sehen kann.
Veronika and Flora looking at the comet.
Veronika und Flora, die den Kometen angucken.
It's exciting to see the comet! And such a lovely moon photo! Flora's skirt is very pretty and it's nice that she can have sewing time with your neighbor. Morgana learned from my friend Janet.
ReplyDeleteDid you see the comet? The neighbor is very happy to have Flora there and Flora is learning useful skills. I bet Morgana had a lovely time with Janet.
DeleteUnfortunately, I didn't see the comet.Yes, I think Morgana enjoyed sewing with Janet and it's such a fun and useful skill to have.
DeleteAh, now sad! We had to drive to a higher elevation to see it. We could have not seen it down here in the valley. Yes, quite a useful skill!
DeleteOh! Good you drove up to see it! :)
DeleteI guess if Veronika had not insisted on trying to go higher, we would have not done it. One of Peter's students had recommended driving up there because this is where she had gone to see it.
DeleteFlora has made an excellent job with the phase one of her skirt and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished result. How lovely to have a nearby neighbour that is willing to share their sewing skills, and I'm sure she appreciates Flora's willingness and enthusiasm to learn a new skill xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, San! Tomorrow she will put the elastics in. Maybe she will finish it? We will see. Unfortunately, the neighbor has decided to move away next month. She is older and wants to be closer to her family.
DeleteI miss an elderly neighbor who used to live in one of the ground floor apartments. When the girls were young I used to see her pushing her little grandchild in the stroller. We always stopped to talk. She ended up moving to be near her children.
DeleteHow sweet! I guess when you get older you do tend to move to where your children are (and where good doctors are).
DeleteYes, that is certainly true.
DeleteAnd it makes sense.
