Scurry Scurry

Current Location: Dad's house, Rio Linda

  Got sick of hand-sewing my stupid foot wrapping.  If I buy some gray thread, then I can do it by machine instead which will be much faster - very important with less than a week left to work.  Instead I got started on the rest of the costume.  Here is my shirt, before and after.

Today

Current Location: Dad's house, Rio Linda

  Today I began working on the pile of (mostly crafting) stuff in front of the dresser.  I emptied two boxes that were full of bedding (because I figure they'd be emptied soon anyway, once I get this stuff out of the way of the bed).  One now holds craft supplies (wooden beads, fake flowers, interfacing, electrical wires, a box of rocks. . .), while the other is for "projects" (jeans that need mending, thrifted clothes with no buttons, old Steampunk Things of the Week I never finished, white socks in need of some color, materials for a Halloween costume that never got made. . .).  Tools (button maker, pens, measuring tapes, screwdrivers. . .) went into drawers which already held art and office supplies (tape, rulers, highlighters, staplers, crayons. . .).  So everything is still a bit jumbled and could use more organization, but it's at least off the floor and somewhat contained.  I also found my big bag of nail polishes, which means now I can paint some things that had to be put on hold for a while.

  While I was doing that, my dad went over to Judy's house to pick up some stuff for the Halloween party.  He came back with a sarcophagus and a life-sized butler in the truck bed.
