Those following along in my blog journey know that I have segued away from quilt postings. What a difference in blog stats that has made. While I still have an interest in quilting, I really don't need to add to my small collection I have created. The original reason for beginning that craft was to make baby quilts for co-workers or for raffle baskets for the Sacramento Food Bank. I have neither of those recipients any more.
The lead-off image is the rustic doll I picked up for 99 cents. All she needed was a bath to freshen her up. These types of primitive dolls are a quick sell. I might keep her awhile.
Just had to get those Folkwear patterns listed. These had to have come from a pattern collector's estate. I love these patterns too but realistically know that I would never use them. Here are two that highlight the collection of 9, both from the 1980s.

I gain a few extra shekels from my eBay sales. Now, my focus has been on fine jewelry. Gold is the only metal that doesn't interact with my ear lobes. These past couple of months, I have purchased 3 new pairs of gold earrings.
Shooting for 2,800 active listings on eBay. Two more sewing pattern listing sessions are queued up.
Ending the post with some tips posted in the Ledger Dispatch by Kelly Curtis, Art as a Companion in Healthy Aging. She recommends sketchbook journaling, singing or listening to music, taking a dance class, trying something new, and becoming involved in community events. "Older adults who participate in creative activities like painting, music, writing or dance report lower rates of depression and improved cognitive function." I can attest to that!
