My hands are sore...
Jul. 6th, 2010 09:07 amWell, I was productive though I have to admit I could have gotten just a bit more done if I hadn't gotten sucked into playing Harry Potter Lego. LOL. It is lots of fun and its mindless except for a few parts. I realize that I never have been good at jumping in games and I have a heck of a time still. But I'm having fun.
Friday night I wove and knit while we watched "The Hangover"...not at all a good movie. I'm not getting that time back but I did get to watch it with friends so that is something.
Saturday I worked on getting the trim on the tunic. Mel had folks over working on stuff in the shop. I made sure folks were getting enough water but I basically was either in the studio or in the family room sewing. I managed to get the trim on and then played video games and did some weaving. My weaving did not do as well..sighs.
Sunday I managed to finish all of Tristan's under tunic except for the facing edging, I want to fit check that before I finish it and the sleeve seam flat fells (also waiting for fit check). I sat and did that on all of the seams while watching the HP movies. After playing the game I really wanted to watch them start to finish. Course I still need to pick up the 6th movie and watch it. Missed it when it was in the theaters. That basically got me through all day Sunday. We stayed up a bit late after watching the fireworks from the rooftop. Had a really nice view of DM's and our across the wash neighbors were doing their own show. We waited up for Shanda and Bryan to get home after finishing up the DM show. We had dinner and pie ready for them. I made rhubarb pie and nectarine cobbler...yummy.
Stayed up late chatting and me playing HP. Got to bed and I think all of my sedentary activities of the day was not making my hips happy. I got up and got some drugs and was yelled at by the cats for not being in bed. I finally got to sleep sometime after 2am.
Monday we all got up and headed to joe's for breakfast. It was good. Then shanda and I ran and errand and then it was home for more projecty goodness. I got the over tunic cut out and serged and then I sat down to work on my calligraphy. I can do a pretty good batarde hand, a really nice early gothic but the squareness of gothic textura quadrata isn't my cup of tea. Luckily it wasn't the scribe's whose work I'm inspired by's either. Basically the hand is gothic textura but its much more rounded. Mel called it "cartoony" and he thought mine looked about the same so I guess after 3 scrolls I was happy with that so I inked my commission scroll. So by the end of the afternoon I had 4 scrolls callig'd. 3 went into the scriptorium case to be scanned when ari gets home and the other one was ready for painting. I relaxed a bit more, and managed to get sucked back into the game again. Sighs. Scribble started and I got some paint on the scroll. I hope to do a bit more tonight. Then I sat and chatted with mingo while I sewed the tunic together. I just need to attach the sleeves and do the neck line. I hope to finish that tonight so I can start turning seams...but the scroll needs to take some precedence tonight. I hope to get at least one of the drolleries done..maybe all of the small ones. We shall see though.
Work is pretty quiet today. I need to do laundry so no gym today but I will get a ride in tonight to kick off my Tour de France biking. I was up so late in the mornings it was too warm...and sleeping was so nice. But enough of the not doing what I'm supposed to do. Gonna get in my bike clothes and hit a short ride to get back in the saddle.
