Marz dropped by as I was sewing Red Bear a dress this afternoon.
"Are you doing that because your life's feeling a little disordered?" she asked.
Maybe partly. Also because it's fun and it's mine to do.
Red Bear's dress is reversible--the soft blue denim back can be the front too. But I think the flower print is always going to win out.

Alfie, r.i.p.
bink & Maura's dear dog Alfie died five days ago, after a short and sudden illness.
He was a gentle and dapper dog––a rescue dog, so his exact age was unknown--probably at least fourteen years old. Old, but it was a shock that he went so fast.
I spent the morning helping dig a grave for him in their backyard. It felt good to do something real and hard and useful in the face of death.
Here's bink with Alfie & her friend Dale who was officiating at the Blessing of the Animals on Saint Francis's feast day, 2014.

Ursula Rubia is quite fetching in that frock.
ReplyDeleteIf I could chose, I would have a quick death like Alfie. Harder on those left, but then, it always is hard. My condolences.
"Ursula Rubia" is her porn star name! :)
ReplyDelete(not really--I love it.)
Yes, I said the same thing about Alfie's death: hard on those left behind, but when my time comes, I'd chose such a sudden death.
They don't even know what exactly was wrong with him---would have had to do lots more tests, but he was obviously dying, so they let him go.
Merciful.
P.S. Zhoen, you're right! It's a "frock". What a great word. I changed the post title.
ReplyDeleteI just watch too many Brit shows.
