Crazy Quilt -- Novelty Print Cotton Sheeting

I made this shirt from fabric that I got in Poughkeepsie, NY. I traded it with Liza for an embroidered Mexican shirt.

I'm also wearing a pair of wool sailor pants, a staple of my early 70's wardrobe.
Here I am wearing them in Florida:

I wish I still had a larger piece of the print. It was images of African animals drawn in the style of Albrecht Dürer. Like this:

Prison Stripes

I wore my new prison stripes dress today:

Sweater dress from Old Navy -- on sale for $8

I wasn't feeling all that great this morning. I could tell a cold was coming on.
I went in to work anyway. I'm a part timer and punch a time clock. No paid sick days, holidays, or vacation, no benefits. I'm OK with that, I can take off whenever I want and can work at home (more like take stuff home and procrastinate).

There IS something that makes me crabby: the salaried co-workers (who all have paid sick days), coming in all sick and germy in order to "save" their sick days for later in the year. Thanks a lot for the cold! Now I get to spend my days off in bed! WooHoo!

By 12:15, I'd finished all pending projects so decided to go home.
The traffic was horrid.

I'm a prisoner of the time clock.

Crazy Quilt -- Indian Cotton Block Print

I got this skirt at a "head shop" in Troy, NY.
Eventually, I cut it up and made a bikini from it.

Here's the bikini style in other fabrics, worn camping in Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico in 1982.

I still love this print. Maybe I should digitize it and get some yardage printed on Spoonflower.
You'll be the first to know if I do!
