Work and Workout

Well, work was busy. I had so many meetings that I barely got to any of the paperwork. Today will be writing lots of change paper and getting ready for the meetings on Wednesday. Lots to do. Wow. I went from bored to OMG BUSY in about a 4 day period and things won't be letting up for a while. Not that I'm complaining. I just need to now get my priorities set and work the tasks as they are needed.

Left work and hit the gym. I took it a bit easy since it had been almost two weeks since I had hit the gym. I wasn't feeling at all good one week and last week was 12 hour days so I skipped. But I did dance my butt off on Saturday so I haven't been a slug. My ipod ran out of power as I got on the treadmill and that was hard. I got motion sick without the tunes but I watched Bones with subtitles on the screen by me. I did just about a mile before I was to tuckered to continue. Headed home and mel was just about ready to felt his latest pair of nalbound socks. I flounced on the couch for a bit. Got dinner, felt way better. I guess I was hungry. Was revitalized, picked up the house and got ready for scribble. It was just Ari and I. She worked on mariannavivia's laurel scroll (gold leaf) and I got my A&S scroll sketched out.

I'm doing the same style I did for Baronial A&S but its only 5x7 in size versus the way larger size. Its a challenge for me to do things that small and the stuff I learned from the last project are paying off. I've got things penciled in and will probably start painting on Monday. I've pinged callas_and_ivy to see what the kingdom needs for a little scroll. I'm happy with how it has turned out so far. And I'm looking forward to painting but after crown.

After I got things sketched I sat down and did more weaving. I think I have one more turn off of the back beam before all of the warp is forward. I started weaving after I moved the warp and got tired. So I worked on a hat for my mom while ari got the gold leaf partially laid, mel spun some BFL and we all watched River Monsters. Good crafty time all around.

Well, tonight is the demo. I think I will be having my spinning out and some scroll work I have a couple of scrolls that need some paint so I guess I can start another demo scroll. I need to remember to bring light for my table this year so I have light to work by. Not sure if we are having the tent out or not but light will be good. I also need to bring my cushion for my box since I'm going to sit on it. Tailbone is still not happy with me. Stoopid thing.

Oh I did finish off the cast off of the fuggly baby washcloth. Its almost guaranteed to not show stains.
