ianukWell it was MLK day and I had Benton get Christmas down from the house and I helped put it away. So that is done and dusted. The tree is a thing to wrangle and the closet it goes into and the place the rest of stuff is stored is Master level tetris. But we got it done. I also got my laundry done (minus the hang and dry stuff which needs my studio to not have the ironing board setup so that will be worked tonight while I'm working on things.
1) hem on apron (marked and in work)
2) straps on apron (in work)
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 (in progress)
8) Pack for trip to SC
I got the underdress hem cut and pinned and the apron I decided to get Ari to help me get the hem even. This had a really funny convo between me and her and Aesa. Ari could not grok that the back hem is longer than the front hem cause some of us have butts. lol. But I stood and she got it marked and I will cut it tonight and pin and sew. This is longest apron dress I have made. It will be wonderful for the event in SC which the high is 34 and at a Girl Scout camp. And for War of the Phoenix which we are expecting to be cold. The herringbone is a cotton flannel style and so snuggly. Its only about 4-5 inches off the floor but that will be nice and warm.
On the book front I started the 3rd book of the year which is the Omnibus for the House of M. Yes, comic books. Its 1300 pages of pretty and scary stuff. I've also downloaded a few books to my kindle for the weekend travel. So I will probably ahve concurrent books going. House of M is also like 5 inches thick.
So tonight will be working on getting the apron dress hemmed and the straps on it. Then on Wednesday I can get Benton's coat done with hems etc on machine. So with all going well all I will have to do on Thursday is to put on some trim on the dress and pack. Its cutting it closer than I wanted but I added the coat so meh.
