treeskinAnd, while I'm not completely better, I do feel human today. Life is good.
Came home sick yesterday morning, spent the day sniffling and feeling pitiful. Did get the order placed to Dharma, for the rest of my costume, and for stuff for Cat. Between the two of us, we had enough on the list to hit the quantity discounts. Scary. (By the way,classics_cat: I had it shipped 2-day Air, so it ought to be here Mon or Tues next week.)
My beads arrived just after I got home yesterday. Did not get anything assembled, mostly because I haven't decided how I want to do the ornaments that won't be sewn directly to the fabric. EEEK! Must remember to draw mask today, so we can start on that.
Tonight's project is calligraphy...a proclamation scroll for a PR thingie for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sdemory. Lucky me, I already have the materials. Scrounge-o-matic wins again!
I'm trying to decide if the crocheted tube necklace is done yet....I've got almost 4' of beaded rope done, and I just can't decide what to to with the ends. Join them? Tie them off and call it good? Add fringe or interesting dangly bits? When I cut the ball thread the last time, I tied the piece in a knot, and played with it as a necklace...I like the way it knots and hangs, but I'd like it longer, and I've only got enough of these beads for 4-5". Got plenty of time to think about it and decide today.
My second alto recorder from Ebay arrived Thurs, which sucked, because I didn't have enough wind to play, and skipped rehearsal that night. (I know, I know, bad me.) Played it a little last night...nice sound, especially in the upper register, I'm sure it will sound better when I can breathe well enough to support the tone. Still not sure what the wood is, the brand is "Serenade", and it's marked made in Germany. Not a brand I've heard of. Not that it means much. I'll ask Betty next week.

Date: 2004-03-06 09:45 am (UTC)Tuesday I could come when I get done with working with Dr V. We are meeting at 9am and (I hope) only working until 4 or 5. That's kind of late, I know, but I am free at any time from Wednesday on; I don't have any plans yet.

Date: 2004-03-06 09:54 am (UTC)I really hope the stuff comes on Monday; most of the ornamentation I want to do involves sewing beads onto the fabric. And that'll be time-consuming.
