Sunday Sunday Sunday

But not at Raceway Park. More sewing -- petticoats -- research and just general hanging out. Yoga in the afternoon and then pizza with Bob and Judy to repay us for Dave's work in their crawlspace.

Today

I'm watching possibly the last game of the World Series. I'm tired. I've been going balls to the wall for a while. This needs to change.

Tuesday

So it was a slow start after staying up to 1 last night. So today I worked on the chasuble from Mexico and the House of Worth dress. Photos of all of the uniforms. I'll be ready to get the final list tomorrow and go from there.

Underwear

Conservation on underwear today. There's nothing like working on someone else's dainty things. 

And John Hyatt was awesome tonight. I'm so glad we went!

Friday the 21st

Angelique is settling in. She's taken to sleeping in the stack of quilts in a basket. Very much like the princess and the pea. Right now she's hanging out with Dave and figuring if that's where she really wants to be. What a beautiful cat!

Tomorrow I begin making the two petticoats, one slip and two bustles for the exhibit. Another slip -- simplified -- may follow. I also need to go to the office store, shoot the shorty video on Alwin Court and do some other stuff around living my life.

Kitty Cat

Yay! We got a kitty. Who's now on the speaker, in front of the window, doing a tidy up on herself. They named her Angelique but we'll see--

Yesterday and today

Yesterday was spent preparing objects for exhibition. It's such satisfying work. I stitched and tidied and created bags for shoes. Today was scheduled to be more preparation but no water for hand washing. So I worked on the database and resolved several mysteries.

We looked at a girl kitty tonight named Angelique. With luck, no one has adopted her yet. The call is in with our adoption gal. The kitty reminds us of Bean. Hopefully, not too much. To be fair to everyone.

Seriously

Who reads this?

Last night

We went to the Trailer Park Boys show. It was f***ing AWESOME!

More research

The exhibition research continues. It was a lovely day and I was able to have the window open in front of my desk with a good breeze coming through.

I need to make a slip based on one in the collection. The silk is too shattered to be usable so we're salvaging the mesh and making a new understructure to sew it on. It's from House of Worth, circa 1925. There are a few interesting things about it. Even though it's a straight skirt, it's open from about the hip down with a wrap on one side. Which would make it far easier to walk or dance the Charleston in. The other thing is that there are underarm dress shields but they are weighted on both sides so that they won't slip out while the dress is worn.

Wednesday at work

Sometimes doing several things over the course of a day feels right. And sometimes not. Like today. I sometimes feel like there are too many balls in the air. I'm the only one who can do anything about it so --- note to self --- a different approach tomorrow.

Tuesday's musing

Breakfast. Work. Move pottery. Database work. Chicken salad sandwich. Staff meeting. More database work. Organizing some stuff that hasn't moved in 10 years. More database work. Vote. Therapy. Working on the driving thing. Grilled cheese for dinner. Computer work. Lexulous. Blog. Snack. That's pretty much it. And baseball -- American League -- Detroit vs. Texas Rangers.

Columbus Day

Oh yeah. The post office is closed. So that's still on the list. But I did get the Quicken thing worked out -- sort of. But I'm only 20 cents off at this point which is way closer than before. And now I know where I spent my earnings this year so far.

Hopefully we'll get a kitty soon. We'll work on it.

Tomorrow ---

Frass, again. And lunch with Bekah. Then mail some stuff that's been pending for months.

Sunday

It's fall. Today was changing out summer clothes to the heavier ones. A few things will end in the trash. And more will end up at the thrift shop. Today was also a day for loose ends. Still many more to tie up but one has to start somewhere. Also, a restful yoga practice was on the schedule.

Kitten!

Ok, I know the exclaim is a little excessive. I was sad to see Jeanine leave but it was time for her to get back to her kids. I always feel so comfortable with her. I'm so glad she's my friend. We went to look at available kitties at the pet store. The orange cat -- Cardinal -- wasn't available anymore. So we'll keep looking for another rescue.

Today and tomorrow it would be good for me to concentrate on unfinished projects. And getting the summer clothes put away and the winter clothes out.

I hate spell checker sometimes. It's like someone who finishes your sentences and incorrectly predicts what you were going to say.

Latvia!

Why would anyone in Latvia be interested in my blog? That so surprises me. And Russia.

Frass

Mmmm. Frass. Lots and lots of it. All over my clothes. They went straight into the washer. Then a hot shower and hair wash. Working with the Timme swatches. Finally. They've been in storage for 15 years or so. Lots of time for the moths to enjoy the alpaca. And everything else.

And then there's the witch

Ok. So, she was just accused of being one. And hung. But still.
