Projecty Goodness

Sabrina's dress progressed until I needed to do top-stitching. Then I realized I don't have the exact right shade of green. Boo hoo! I'm not sure if she gave it to me and I lost it OR she didn't and I'd forgotten I needed to get some. Ah well. Poop!

but... If I can squeeze in 6 more hours of sewing tomorrow (not sure if I really need 6, but given the interuptions around here, it's better to be generous with the time allotment) I'll have everything except for hem and guarding done. ... and since the note pad I jotted the skirt measurements onto got snatched by one of my daring duo (I assume since they are notorious note-pad snatchers)... I'm guesstimating the skirt until I get put the whole thing on Sabrina... why am I babbling???? Oh! right. It's late and I'm restless.

In the intersest of stalling the weary climb up the stairs to bed, here's my version of the "three things you've done that no one else on your F-list have done" (I threw in a few extra because I know some really adventursome folks who get around)

Edit You guys slay me. Deleting numbers 3, 4, 5. How about mash pits for metal bands? Any takers? How about playing in graveyards? How about broken down truck in Mendecino mtns followed by midnight hike down dirt roads to civilization? How about swimming down lengths of the Eel River? Ever try to lead Japanese engineers (in Matsumoto) into a round of calistenics while their daily "happy" music was playing at 3pm? (Watching grown men giggle is hysterical.) Ever eat squid in its ink in Venice? (yeah, I'll try anything once.)... so my list is whittled down to:

1. Skinny dipped in Lake Ontario (at night...brrrr!)

2. sweet talked some Italian maintenance crew into letting me into the colliseum in Verona when it was supposedly shut down to tourists (I winked and smiled a lot since my Italian is crude)

6. Used a breast pump in the ladies room at the Uffizi Gallery and Pitti Palace.

Calling on part of #5.

Both my early deliveries were under 2 hours of actual labor pain. The first time they kept telling me not to push even though I was fully dialated because the doctor wasn't there yet. The second one the doctor broke my water at about 6 and announced that she was going home to eat dinner and take a nap. Less than 1 hour later the nurse in charge delivered the baby and the doctor just showed up in time to check the two little stitches needed.

yes and no. I need to put the dress on you. Is there anyway we can meet Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday? how does your week look?

Let's use e-mail and if I can lure you into Berkeley by EOB Wednesday, I can have the dress done by Thursday morning and send it to W! via Farin.

E-mail me at work. Hugs

We leave Wed AM and are running fast until then. It will have to wait until after the war :(
Farin is coming? Where is he camping? He needs to call us ASAP to arrange space/food.

[thread-walker.livejournal.com]

he is not going to the war. I was thinking he'd take it to work since they are so close to each other..see.. using the gray matter again.

[broider-barones.livejournal.com]

yes that will work for final delivery - as for F on the field - we had hopes
