Slept fairly well, so I was
in a ‘let’s go’ mood that left me behind in the face of leftover potato chips
and another movie or two. I tend to be adrift when Beloved Hubby works all
weekend. However, I did manage to get off my backside long enough to use one of
the embroidery designs I bought last week – on sale, of course ! – and got a
very small start on my birthday hat, ‘cause
July’s coming up fast.
Managed to get the keychain
made ! It calls for a snap
tab plier set, available online and in various versions at most craft stores,
to snap the strap down, but I don’t have that. It’s not even that expensive,
but I hate to buy another one-use tool for just one project. Even though many
sellers have dozens of designs that would use the same snap tabs, it’s unlikely I’ll make that many keychains. I hand-sewed
this one shut, and while it wasn’t fun, and doesn’t look professional at all in
the back, the bottom line still is that I’m just not gonna make enough of these
to justify a $25. investment.
Beloved’s putting in a
half-day tomorrow, and will be home to work on Emmy-car tomorrow. I don’t know
who’s more excited, me or Dearest Son. He gets to be Beloved’s helper,
something he’s been looking forward to. Here’s hoping getting her plated won’t
cost more than what we have !
