New shoes, new project.

I had a stay at home pottering weekend. I could have done dvds all weekend, but I did Jillian, and made myself read North and South out in the park. Because it was such nice weather. Good little me. I bought a pair of shoes as well. Black mary janes. I've been looking for new shoes for work, which I can put orthotics in, and potentially even walk to work in. They tick the first 2 boxes, I'm just going to break them in for a bit before I try the walk to work. I'm trying to walk to work every morning. Also, the shoes are in the sweet spot of not too pretty/shiny/fragile and not too sporty/casual/chunky. The satisfaction of shoes well bought.

On Sunday I had a quick music meeting in the middle of the afternoon, and then some time to fill so I went to EG shops to buy tapestry needles. Sussan had thick coloured tights on sale, so I did some more shopping. It were an expensive weekend, but I only bought things on my list.

Tapestry is my next thing. Grandma gave me one she started, it's a Frederick McCubbin painting I like. It's quite huge and only a quarter done. I did a few stitches last night, and it's surprisingly hard work. The needle and wool are fat and slow so it's hard to pull through the weave, compared to cross stitch.
