Boro Jacket Finished

I finished the boro jacket nearly a month ago.  I like it!  You've seen all the "in progress" photos, so this is the finished jacket--well, except for a fastening.  Jeogori jackets tie closed, but I'm not sure if I'll use ties or a button.



It is really quite warm!

Bryce Eleanor arrived in her PJs Monday morning and showed me some of her "awesome" gymnastic moves with a hulu hoop.

She tried to get me to do a handstand; I told her I was too old, but eventually complied (but unlike the days when I walked around the house on my hands--this time I used a wall).  Then she said, "Try  this...you're not too old for this!"  on several other moves.  Yeah, sure.

Another of the recent encrusted pieces this one mostly with coton a broder.

I'm teaching chair yoga at Horizon Bay, an assisted living facility.  My oldest student is 90, and she is in excellent shape; she says she played softball until she was 78.  She's my hero!

Today I'm going to introduce some qi gong exercise to the mix.  I love qi gong because working with the breath is so relaxing.  

Mid-week, mid-month already.  Where does the time go?

    And Sherri, yes, B.E. has really grown, but so has your Owen. Fun to watch, isn't it?

  6. Stephie - Thanks! Maybe I'll remember to try the jacket on when Fee is home to take a picture.

    The encrusted pieces will become cuffs--maybe; still not sure. They have become a "go to" activity for watching tv.

    Francoise - I prefer headstands--much easier! :)

  9. Caroline - Thanks! I'm used to seeing you on my book blog and was surprised to see you here! I'll check it out!

    Nancy - :) It needed those punches of red in all that blue, and I had some scraps that I used to cut the squares--so glad I saved them!

    B.E. is getting to be a big girl, isn't she? Such a chatterbox!
