Work was good. I got some things done and am now just awaiting hardware to play with. Got home and Ari arrived soon after. We discovered that I had cut the body peices out 2 inches too small (hence the subject line) and that didn't help. So I spent 1.5 hours carefully seam ripping my wonderfully made french seams in very delicate fabric to put in the gussets of the correct size to compensate. Ugh. Tried it on all pinned together and its good to go. Made adjustments to patter sheet and I should be golden. Got ready for arts night and headed out the door with tunic in bag. I was hoping to sew on amber's machine but it did not like my fabric. I realize now why I really, really like my babylock sewing machine, even with the misalignment that cause it to "click" it still has never let me down with any types of fabric and its dirt simple to use. I sat and kibitz, gave away some glass to someone I hooked with my bead class in June and chatted with folks. Why do people insist on getting diet stuff with crappy slenda and aspertame! Seriously! Have a little of each sugar and then the diet but don't be exclusive!

We got home and we both were dog tired and wired at the same time. I drank a beer and snuggled up into bed while mel was in the living room reading comics. We already had figured out his sewing projects for Friday and all is good. Hopefully we both can get things done for ME feast on time...but I'm way, way behind schedule...oh, well. So, today is my kung fu testing. I need to make sure to stretch and eat dinner early so I'm not too stuffed. My test is before class so it will be 2+ hours of kung fu tonight. I'm kinda nervous, kinda not...I've been through many tests and this is very lo-key at this school. Well, off to finish the final 2 pages of notes I've been transcribing and then hopefully get parts ready for playing with.
