Too much to do and no time
Apr. 21st, 2017 09:15 pmOf course, Fort Fred is next week. I can probably just fix the green jacket and wear that rather than trying to make the cotton striped dress like I wanted to. We'll see.
May 6 is Atlantian Crown and I'm very excited. There are few people I'd like to see win and a few people I hope just get the stuffing knocked out of them quickly. :-)The site allows pups so Miss Abigail will be there. I'd like to make her a simple cape and finally finish my embroidered chemise (parts are done) but I have no idea how much I'll get done.
The weekend after that is las Vegas so nothing will get done that weekend.
I also need to finish up my Grad Papers (at least one tomorrow will get done) and update my blog. I've been working 10 hour days (10 1/2 today) to make up for missing work on Easter Monday. Since I want, desperately, to have a half day for my birthday, I'm working at least 9 hour days M-Th this upcoming week. We'll see how much I get done grad school wise.
I bought a new radio transmitter for my iPod in the car. The old one died - it wouldn't charge the iPod anymore- so I had to get the new one. It seems to work well enough so far. I'm really glad I got it because dealing with just sat radio and it's 100+ channels was so a first world problem I didn't like. :-D
I bought a ton of silk in the latest fabric mart sale. I can't pass up $5.99 a yard silk. It's just not possible. I now have tangerine and forest green dupioni (5 yards each) and a lovely soft "sunlight" yellow dupioni as well as a couple of yards of red and mauve checked taffeta. The yellow dupioni is slubbed in such a way that it looks more like raised stripes than slubs. I'm thinking kirtle still for it or maybe a nice fitted gown? Wools work better for the fitted gowns though...
Also, I might suck it up and finally fix the a/c in the truck and get the transmission fan installed. I'll call up a few places tomorrow to get estimates.... I know how much the parts are and I know how to install the transmission fan if I really need to. I'd much prefer a professional did it though....The a/c has been broke for umm...three years? Maybe four.... I'm not sure. However, I think the a/c being broken contributed to the transmission overheating so...if I want to tow, I need the a/c fixed.
