The self-documentary continues.
There’s nothing as sweet as snuggling with my boy, first thing in the morning.
My bed hasn’t been made since I was single. This is a small point of contention, as I am learning to pick my battles. I’m the first one up, always, so it doesn’t get made. Ever.
But isn’t this a fabulous quilt My mother made this for me, and it was a wedding gift. There’s a much longer story behind it, as it took over 5 years to complete, but that’s another story for another day.
I told her the colors I liked, and gave her an idea based on a greeting card with a floral vine and scalloped edges. Fantastic, huh She decided to try a button hole (or is it satin ) stitch around one of the leaves, but having done one, needed to do them all. There are over a million stitches in this quilt. Did I mention it took 5 years to complete
I’ve been working on a halloween costume for the munchkin. He will be the cutest viking I’ve ever seen. I’m nearly finished. I stained the horns using coffee grounds to get that battered dirty look. They were originally a very white flannelly fabric. I love the fur, but I’m sure he will try to eat it and it might not go over too well. There is a shirt with fur cuffs, leggings, a tunic with a fur collar, a pair of boots with fur cuffs, and hat with horns and fur trim. Very fierce. I was going to make him a fleece bludgeon, but I’m running out of steam.
Working. See, my hair is shiny. I took a shower and got dressed today. I went in to the office for half a day this morning. At home, my desk is still a mess, and my office is still a cave. But I had a good time in the other office. It was good to be around people.
I have a pimple under my nose, in a very sensitive spot. Ouch. Of course, it wouldn’t hurt if I would leave it alone. But I can’t do that. I like this photo perspective. It sheds a good 50 lbs. That’s why the cool cat always thinks these are old pictures, because I look skinny. No, I tell him. I took it today.
