ianukWell, work was long...even on a short day. I had lots of little tasks that didn't take up enough time. But I coped. I did manage to clean up my desk though and that was nice...I have nice clean work spaces..stuff is filed and neat looking. All good. Cause a clean desk is a sign of a disturbed mind...tee hee. One of the things all of us in the ME row at work were commenting on that even though its 100+° out we are all in a "baking" mood. Shannon brought in 4th of July decorated cupcakes yesterday that got us all talking. Yup, this week will be lots of baking.
Got home and mel and I went shopping. The cupboards were pretty bare and we hit the sales and got good stuff including ingredients for me to make bundt cakes. Squee! Got home and put things away and then we sat down to weave for a while. One thing of note is I'm sure that mel will be building us a new weaving bench very, very soon. And I think the pedals are really hard for me to push since I have short legs and I have to sit on the edge of the bench to reach and that is not comfy for me. Right now we are weaving tabby, plain woven, fabric. I'm not sure what else we will do but its a start. While mel was weaving I made a lemon rum bundt cake and then sat down to do some embroidery. The storm hit about then and the boys went out to batten down the hatches in the shop. Mel left for kung fu and Ari arrived soon after so I showed her the weaving and I wove a bit more. Then it was coffee time and book research. I working on my A&S research which entailed lots of lots of perusing through calligraphy/illumination books and having fun commentary.
My favorite Annunciation is from Simone Martin and the angel is wearing a plaid sash and has really neato wings but the expression on Mary is one of of utter disdain and WTFO! Ari and I have an entire commentary about it. My other favorite is a piece from the Engelbrech and Vander Wyden where mary is reading and has this look of "dude, I'm reading, go away" it also has some really nice back ground pieces and it has a neato majoilica jug. Plus then we all started to look at books and the phrases of "oh, these are the cutest little demons!" and "cutting babies in half" permeated the conversation. Scribes are a weird lot...yup. But I was happy and got lots of pictorial evidence for two of my projects and that was good. More work today to look up information on one of the artists but all in all a good day. Folks left and then it was time for bed.
PP&Z has gotten more amusing with another 2 suitors entering the mix. I'm still just tickled to be reading it and I think I need to put the real book on the reading list. I slept well but as always I could have slept more. I'm glad its a short week cause I have lots to do at home...including laundry...yikes, when did that hydra rear its head...oh, yeah, over the weekend when I should have been doing chores versus playing with the loom! Sighs. But I can get a few loads done this afternoon before practice and that should be good. Hopefully we won't get rained out but it is monsoon season...it tends to put a "damp"er on things...tee hee.
