Work was work worky work work. I found some issues and now I have a lot of work a head of me. Oof. Luckily I need more things to do (LOL). Got done, got home and the boy had not had a good day at school and that made all of us tired. Plus a random no-sleep text from my mom made me in a further foul mood. Sighs. I ended up in bed by 10pm. I was so tired. The whole family was grumpy so nuf said.

Saturday morning I got up way before I wanted to since Mel and Ben were talking on the porch while mel got ready for his ride. Sighs. I got up though, had coffee and attempted to stay on task and get things done. Which I did, overall. But the one thing I wanted to figure out was a spectacular fail. Ooops. I made a choli and it did not fit and was not what I wanted for the Zatanna. Its not even useable for a pattern itself. Sighs. But that clouded my brain when I finished a skirt, finished putting trim on the sari, Finished a scarf and didn't kill people. It was an almost thing at the pizza place cause they were dumb. But I ate pizza drank beer and went to bed much happier than when I started.

Mel had a productive day and finished the entertainment center. He will shellac it next weekend so we can get it installed into the house the following week. That means I have 1 piece of my parent's furniture left and that is the curio cabinet. We are looking for an antique to replace it.

Sunday AM mel woke up early for his flight and I snuggled in bed until Ben kept banging on my door from 630-715am. I was not happy. I told him that I would not accept that behavior and sent him to his room after he immediately threw something I told him not the throw. I left him sit there while I drank a cup of coffee and then planned the day. After that he was right as rain. We had breakfast at Prep and Pastry, did errands and came home for snacks etc. He played well, watched a movie nicely and was in general just awesome to everyone. Willa came over in the afternoon to help me cut out crown clothes. I had to do fabric kung fu and was left with a tiny bit of scrap. My under is short sleeved due to fabric but I think it will be very comfy.

Had a wonderful dinner with Ben and we watched more Olympics. He really liked watching the skeet earlier in the day, we watched some golf, synchronized swimming and volleyball. He got a good shower and bed shortly there after. I was tired but I sat and was watching the Olympics until the cable went out so I turned on Hulu and started watching Sleepy Hollow and finished my socks.

To Do List )
ianuk: (here's looking at you)
We have a new little Hrafn in the house but that is [livejournal.com profile] duchess_asa's news. All is good on that for them though.

In the last week I have completed the first 2 books of the year.

#1 - Cool for Cats by Andrew Ordover - Noir-ish mystery set in modern day Atlanta. Nice and quaint with interesting characters and jazz.

#2 - Souless by Gail Carriger - Uber fluffy steampunk/victoriana novel with supernatural stuff. Quite the genre but well done in the world. It is fun and enjoyable with more sexy flirty than I expected from Victoria but was quite fun. I have the second book coming next.

The weekend was helping Benton finally recover, minus a cough, from his cold and watch Mel succumb to the flu. I finished his sox and then made Bunny Nuggets.

Pictures of Knitting )

I kept the white bunny and the rest went to co-workers. The Squee's from the gifties were awesome. Mel wore his socks on monday too and was very cute with them.

I think his fever finally broke last night so he was looking better. I'm now a bit drippy in the nose but I did hit the gym yesterday and that was good. I only ran a mile but my water bottle was...special (still had a shake residue in it from weeks ago EWWWW!) but I did good.

Scribble last night was nice and we were really productive. I finished another letter for our scribal alphabet and and then sat sketching out banners and looking for inspiration for "R is for Royalty". Not finding something I really want to sketch with that yet. Will have to keep looking.

Lots of projects on the horizon. I've got the studio cleaned, I've ordered fabric, I've scheduled time to finalize learning a technique and I think that is a good start. Just need to stay on task from now till crown.
