I guess this makes it more of a week since I've blogged. Well during that week I've gone rather insane. I've been pulling out my hair and generally having breakdowns and whatnot. In fact, I needed to feel like I wanted to get something done. So I started making a hobbit-sized cloak. It's a little bigger than hobbit-sized, but then again so is the person I'm making it for. On the cooler side, it will be reversible and have a hood and man it took me a bit to get it all worked out. I cut it out during Fellowship of the Ring extended version, and sewed the hood during Muppet Treasure Island. I sewed the front panels during the very end of Emma and pinned up the rest during Jane Eyre. Yes, I do my best work during movies.

It's very relaxing to make something and get it mostly finished. Especially something that was intended for Early December. But as long as it's done by mid-March, it will be ok. That way it can be a birthday present as well. Perhaps even an apartment-warming gift.

So my sewing machine and I are becoming friends again. When did I wind the bobbin? During one of those movies. Yes, I'm doing a mindless movie weekend, but as soon as I get a phone call, I'm going to have to drive to work to make some faxes, and do some paperwork. It's bright out right now and I'm watching One Fine Summer. My butt would conform to the cushions in the chairs if it weren't for the cats that wan tto go in and out all the time. And before the day is over, I get to sew up the cloak, turn it right-side-out and do some last bit of stitching and getting fasteners put on and whatnot.

Well that's about it. I know I should have blogged more often, but overwhelmedness will sometimes do that to people.
