Of Liberty I Sing

Yes, I have been away from this place for over a week now, which is surely the return of a bad habit, that is, time away for no apparent reason (not even under the pretense of "thinking"), so I have to come back by saying first that my daydreaming was due in part to my usual idle behavior and also a round of daydreaming which has not quite ended yet.

It is also undoubtedly true that I have not been making much recently, and pretty lackluster in the creativity department.  This was mostly because I was tired out from having to move, and the sadness of having not enough space (perhaps half the size) that I used to have- such was the downgrade (at least in size, not in quality of living and working and being).

I did have a minor brainstorm, not really much of one, and perhaps more for a schoolboy's sentiment, in that on my visits to the dentist here, which are spaced rather strangely (a checkup requiring two visits, one for the upper, one for the bottom), I started looking at the scrunchies that the dental assistants wore. Of course, it was not just a sartorial statement but also a practical necessity of the workplace.  Well, to thank one of them who was most friendly to me, I made her one.

A note that the other two in the picture are for the receptionists (both of whom are quite nice as well), without whom I would not be able to enter the inner world where my new friend, the dental assistant R, works.  Another note is that they were made using Liberty fabric which is exclusive to the Japanese market.  A final note is that there was enough leftover material to make three pocket squares for myself.
