Apr. 24th, 2003 10:43 amRobyn made up her mind, she wants By to go with her to Louisville for the art show next week. Tues (REALLY early, like like The Pearl by 6am early), through the following Sunday, I think is the plan.
Put the knitting down for a few days to finish--and send--temari for my two exchange partners (one of whom has been patiently waiting since *gulp* January). Now I'm on a temari bug. Can we say "short attention span" boys and girls? I've got one temari in particular that I started Sat....I do about 2 rows of stitching on it a night, because it's larger than I'm used to working with, and my hands hurt too much to handle it longer than that. It'll look cool when it's done, though. I'd like to stitch all the maris I've got pre-made and sitting in a box.....that'd go a long way towards refilling the show drawer. Not to mention, reduce clutter in the living room.
I think I've pciked the next project for the grey Ebay yarn--the Rose Leaf Tunic from _A_Gathering_Of_Lace_. Slightly smaller gauge, worked in the round, would be a very showy tunic to wear over things (makes the lace show up!). And the pattern doesn't lok that hard.
So far, this has not been a prodcutive week at work. Spent a good deal of yesterday trying to chase down half of a shipment of small trees I'd mail-ordered as specimens. I suspect an error in the nursery's billing; they claim someone from the college called and changed the order. Not bloody likely. But the rest of my trees are supposed to be shipped next week.
Today's been spent doing paperwork (benefits enrollment time again), and in a meeting about landscaping for the new parking garage. My new boss is really clueless abut landscaping, and he's not very patient with explanations, so you've got to tell him 3 or 4 times before he hears the whole explanation. And by then, he's lost interest and gone on to something else.
It rained just enough that it'll be a bit wet to finish planting today. Not sure what I'm going to do with the afternoon.
