For the Love of Textiles

I am having holiday this week. Made a list from all things I wanted to do, but..as usual..not everything was done. I cleared out the garden on Monday afternoon, so Winter can arrive..and we had some friends over because Bram became 78 that day.. Tuesday was kind of an Off day.. On Wednesday I took the last things from the studio home... And I had an appointment with my psychotherapist and with her I shared some emotions. Yesterday-afternoon I took the train to Amsterdam to visit the just opened (after 10 years of closure) and renewed Stedelijk Museum . Much is said already in the papers about the architecture..and the name for the new part is:  "The BathTub" .  I don't have a strong opinion yet... But in a way I feel that the ground floor is only made fore the -way too big- museum shop and the restaurant... and the big exhibitionroom above is nice, but you don't feel that you are inside this BathTub, so this room is not special at all... Gues...

I got this card from my FB and knitting friend Marjoleine and this represents in a way my dealing with everything happening over the last weeks... Last Monday Bram and myself had a talk with the doctor, physiotherapist and head of the department he stays and we came to the conclusion that on the 1th of November he can go home...So very good news. Of course he needs to have treatments to become stronger, so he will go 2 mornings and 1 afternoon to the Rehab centre for as long as it needs. I think after he gave up the feeling that he really didn't liked it there he became stronger and accepted the fact that it was necessary to stay there for a while and make the most of it. But.. the end of staying there is at the horizon.No more living alone for him in a small room and no more living alone for me in our house..Really looking forward to that! To make this step going well we are doing it step by step. So we made a little trip to a restaurant for coffee, a trip into town to the hair...
