It's the little things....

Hee... it's a good day. Lots of people are doing the little goodbye/goodluck chatter thing at me so I feel like people notice and like me which is nice, even if I prolly won't ever see most of them again. I didn't bring lunch though, so if I am wrong about there being a top-secret-but-not-surprising-cuz-they-always-do-it lunch goodbye thing, I'm going to be a little irked and have noone to blame. I want to put my hair up in braids soon so I can do the wavy thing... maybe tomorrow or Friday I will do that. My poor Nate is sick now too... I think his immune system is weaker than mine, he tends to get worse versions of whatever we both get. Need to figure out if I want to do something with that gamehen for dinner or just make soup... Soup might be better for him. We shall see.
So, sometimes I hesitate to comment in peoples journals, because it seems like some people don't like strangers reading/opining, just the people they know. But then sometimes, I can't tell if people want comments or don't want comments. And then I wonder if people reading mine can't tell either. Sooooo, if you read my journal, feel free to comment away if you want to, whether I know you or not. There, an official invitation :) Now there is no confusion...

Yay! Last day of work is over and done!
I feel very relieved to have a bit of freedom. It will be very nice to relax and have more time for projects and such. Once school starts, I'm not sure how much free time I will have, but for now I intend to take advantage of it. I do have Thanksgiving, etc. coming up too, so I'm sure I'll have plenty to do in the next couple weeks. But I am thrilled... I can stay up late, I can sleep in, I can do all the little cleaning/organizing things I haven't had time for... It's just nice!

I think tomorrow I may start the kimono project. Haven't worked with the fraycheck stuff before, so it should be interesting... maybe I will make a little barbie-doll size one first to get the hang of it. Maybe not. We shall see!

Still need to find out what the heck I want as far as the embroidery goes. Yes, my beloved sewing group, you will be seeing alot of this project I think. Especially if I decide to do something big. Which knowing me... heehee... well it's quite likely. And I need to finish measuring/designing pattern for the pvc corset project. And then I think I need to just hang around Rois until her incredible abilities rub off on me... mmmmm, I need beautiful corset making skills. Yes I do.
On a related note, I'm feeling intimidated by the wing part of the project.... I just can't decide how the boning/support in them is going to work. So those may be put off for a while. The corset part is what I would wear more often anyhow.
Re: duvet cover.... still need to figure out what's going on with that. Next week - remeasure and try and remember what I was doing with it. Decide how it's going to close... I'm leaning towards snaps since I think the zippers would need to just be insanely long, and I don't have much practice with zippers anyhow.
Oh, and soon I need to attach that elastic to the feather mattress and/or our sheets. This one is way way better about not losing feathers, but it doesn't like to stay put on the bed.
Need to make Christmas lists... I'd like to get everything done early this year. We'll see how doable it is... I kinda want to do something personal this year, since I have time, but I'm not sure what.
Tomorrow I should also go to the grocery store whilst it is not so busy. We are out of juice and a couple other things I think. It's strange... in some ways, I think this is a good move for me as far as gaining more independence... I am such such such a depending kind of person in many ways. I don't want that to neccessarily change, but I want to be that way by choice, not because I don't have the ability to do things on my own. Errrr... did that make sense? Ah well... not a big thing either way... I am happy with where I am, I am happy with where I'm going.
