Productive weekend

[ianuk]

So I managed to sew a lot over the weekend. Not finished where I wanted to be cause everything took effing forever and then I nerfed things and then I was being picky and then....yeah. I also managed to make Benton a coat (still needs neckline binding, hems and a button loop). Which is good honestly. So things I need to finish by Thursday night:
1) hem on apron
2) straps on apron
3) trim on apron
4) hem on underdress
5) Finish Benton's coat
6) find yarn for travel knitting (mitts for Sir Justin)
7) Gather things for gift basket
8) Pack for trip to SC

Benton is off school today and I'm making him take down the tree and I will help him put things away. I have to pack the house lights away which is rearranging things in the laundry which is okay. Its just things I haven't gotten to and then am too tired to do. But I'm back in the sewing groove though and the featherweight needs to get a service...its skipping stitches. I pulled out my kenmore and after I oiled it its still kind of rough So when I finish things for the war I will take them in for service.

So I sewed, I slept and I read this weekend. I finished Iron Widow which was excellent. Fast paced and epic with giant robots and Chinese/Korean mythology and feminism. Its a wild ride. And the clincher at the end is oooh boi. Plus a very cute poly trio.

Now I have to pick a book to read and have books for travel so I will need to see what is on my Kindle queue and if I have paperbacks to travel. I only have hardcovers on my TBR by the bed right now. Those suck on airplanes.

While I'm tired and my shoulder hurt from hunching at my sewing machine I feel good and accomplished. This is good.

Have I made it to the gym or to yoga? No...I'm okay with that...the month before war is always nuts. I'm giving myself some grace.
