piranhayup; stayed up late again and didn't get up early enough for the ferry. oh well. all the same people will be at port moody next weekend, maybe i'll be on a better schedule then. so, i was lame, but got a bit done around the house -- vacuumed the corner in my room under the new shelves, moved the newly acquired drawer units in, and started to move craft supplies into them. polymer clay into small drawers on top, yarn into the large drawers. i still can't believe i got these units at half price; what a stroke of luck that sale was. i might go and get one more.
while moving yarn, i am winding some into balls for which i already have plans. i love fondling my yarn. these units have translucent drawers, so i am sorting it by colour, and it looks great. ah, rainbows of yarn and clay. :) i also came across a sock experiment about which i had forgotten; it wasn't terribly successful, but the yarn had a good feel for a sock cotton, and i'm going to frog it and start over with a different pattern.
picked what calendula was still blooming before it goes to waste, and while i was at it also some red clover that was still blooming; i want to dye some of the red heart "baby teri", a nylon/acrylic with these two and see what i get. the acrylic won't dye, but the nylon will, and that should give a nice heather -- the yarn is fluffy, which will enhance that. yes, i actually own red heart yarn, *snicker*. their acrylics suck horribly, but lately they've been shaping up their line, and this yarn is not bad at all. it'll make great cancer caps; it's very soft and easily washable, and custom dyeing will make it unusual.
cut up a few old decrepit boards for firewood, since i went through my reserve yesterday. just to take the edge off.
chatted with both my capsicums tonight on IM, which was a good thing. i miss them; my life is almost entirely banter-free right now, and that is so very, very wrong.
