First things first. There are just TWO spots left for my Dorset Buttons Gone Wild Workshop on Saturday, March 20th. So if you want to reserve a space, you’ll need to let me know right away!
For those of you who watched my livestream the other day, you’ll know what happened when I cut into that silk cocoon. It was one of those moments when words failed me. 
However it was fun to stitch with and if I had more of them I would certainly add them to other things I’m working on.
In other news I received my FIRST vaccine dose and am So relieved. I had them give me a shot in my right arm and then immediately iced it. Other than very slight, almost imperceptible soreness, I felt some mild dizziness and loss of appetite, but truthfully if I hadn’t been hyper aware of how I was feeling, I wouldn’t have noticed. I will be fully vaccinated by mid April! I cannot wait and am beyond excited.
It will be in the 60’s today here in New York City, so I may have to break my routine and go for a little walk later! I am wishing all of you a beautiful Thursday! 
Good for you on getting your first vaccination. Doesn’t take a huge weight off! I’m getting my second shot on Wednesday. I misunderstood when you announced your tutorial, but watched it in case I ever come across the cocoons. I have the silk hankies and haven’t figured out what to do with them. Is that another challenge, tee hee.
It is such a huge weight off. I was a little surprised at just how relieved I felt. The stress of living in such a populated city where the pandemic hit early and hard has been enormous and the relief is beyond measure. How wonderful that you’re getting your final shot next week. That’s wonderful!
I did a livestream where I used those silk hankies in the same way you might use wool roving. I punched it into my piece and really loved how it turned out. And yes, definitely another “Challenge”!
Woohoo! Congratulations on your vaccine! It was cute seeing your reaction to the silk worm. I think I would have done the same.
Haha! Definitely wasn’t expecting that!!
