TUESDAY

What did I do today?  Hmm... since Leofwyna got put on call I carefully kept quiet downstairs until she woke up.  Then I started another load of wash before heading out to the fabric store to pick up twill tape, thread and mock horn buttons to finish Ducky's new wardrobe.  I stopped to eat lunch and then at the Goodwill where I found some neat Indonesian fabric for my quilting stash, or maybe I'll use it to make camping pillowcases.  When I got back home Leofwyna was eager for me to go with her to get signatures notarized to get legal things proceeding.  And back at home again I got onto the next phase of sewing...

Using 2" wide upholstery cotton twill I made drawstrings for Ducky's pants.  I fold it lengthwise in thirds, stitch up both edges and voila!  Makes really nice drawstrings.  I also seamed up the shoulders of the sideless surcote of a cozily heavy wool.  I'm binding the edges of the sideless surcote with cotton-linen strips cut from one of the shirts I've picked up to avoid bulking up the hems.  Oh bother!  I forgot to get back to the laundry... more tomorrow.

Coming to Clothiers'?

A couple weeks ago I'd have said I probably would. Since I went to Midrealm with Sabi last weekend I was already reconsidering it but when I saw the class list the other day nothing really 'spoke' to me and I reached the decision to stay home and help Leofwyna do some sorting and rearranging of Little Sister's stuff. Having a whole 'nother batch of stuff in the house has seriously crammed the little place to the rafters and some oranization is required.

I'm thinking maybe, just maybe, getting to the Jubilee.

Jubilee's just too far for me to go--drats!

How about Coronation?

Isn't that St Louis, too? If so that's too far to often. I'm hoping I can do Lilies this year, although that's still an open question at this time.

Looking at the schedule again, that's a whole month further down the calendar... it may happen, too. We'll have to see how the sorting and clearing go and where the Rummage Sale lands.

Cool!
