Relaxing Sunday

[ianuk]

Well, I actually got to make beads but later in the day. My studio took all of 15 mins to finish prepping, then I dipped rods and so I read until meg picked me up for lunch. We ended up at Chili's which was good. Cora was being a bit fussy but oh so cute! We then traipsed over to Barnes and Noble with cora in her new sling and she immediately fell asleep. I picked up Small Favors by Jim Butcher, Undead and Uneasy by Mary Janice Davidson and Altogether Dead from Charlene Harris. Then we went to Target to pick up a few things. I'm looking for a wall charger for my touch but didn't like the one they had...but we had a good time shopping. Then it was home. Frodi was over researching, Thyra was playing with an air compressor and the boys were either cleaning up the shop or working on medieval tool benches. I got my kiln turned on and then sat reading until it alarmed that it was to temperature. I made beads for about an hour...which was about 25 beads. I have no stamina right now and my table is too high which is easily dealt with once I move mel's second spinning wheel around. Frodi watched for a while. I finished up and then was a bad girl and started reading Small Favors. Yeah, got sucked in after the first few pages and had to put it down at bed time. Wow, is all I can say. A bit more action while we're trying to figure out things but good none the less. Right now things are at an interesting point. I'll have to restrain myself when I get home...course I think I'll just turn the kiln on and then read until its ready.

Not sure what work has in store today...I didn't write up my to-do list for this week. oops. Guess I'll just have to wing it.

once again we share the bookshelf. those are all books i've purchased or plan on purchasing. though i have to wait a whole year for Small Favors...waaaaaah!

Yeah...I've been trying to find the others used and failed after 3 attempts so I bought them full priced.

yeah, i have a few series that i try to only buy used, but sometimes i get so frustrated trying to find the next book that i give up and get it new. i'm better with the sticking to paperbacks even though the author starts publishing first in hardcover...though that first year / two years when they switch sucks.

Hey... totally random question here: would the scribal types that get together at your place be interested in learning how to pre-treat and cut quills from feathers, or have y'all already covered this? I dug out an old skill for amusement's sake the other day and surprise, it came right back to me. (Not like it's a hard thing to learn, but still.) Anyway-- ??

probably...maybe after coronation?

Sounds good; just let me know when so I can stock up in band-aids. After you harden the quills, it's a bit like cutting nylon poles with an Xacto knife and I tend to chop my fingers on a regular basis.
