So last night I finally sewed the sofa parasites for the couch downstairs. They're not perfect - I used a fuzzy fabric that was extremely stretchy, and it was a nightmare. But they have zippers so I can take off the covers and wash them, and they look better than having the bed pillows with pillowcases on them down there.

I also finally took in the waistband of a skirt I bought a long time ago so I can now wear it (am today, in fact). Mending item one of about a dozen done.

The day before yesterday I sewed the seam on a sheet that had come undone (and was catching and pulling on our feet) and frankly, the part I sewed looks better than the original seam!

It feels weird being this productive, but it's a good weird. If I can just keep it up and finish off a handful of things every week, that would be awesome. I realize some things, like some of my knitting projects, will take a long time, but that's why I have so many other, smaller projects I can work on. Right?

On tap for an accomplishment today is cooking dinner. We've been going out to eat way too much. :/

I forgot my gym bag, so I can't go work out at lunch. And I don't really have anything else to do. If I go shopping I'll just spend money I don't need to. I wish the library was back next door, I could browse through the books (the temp location only has a few browsing books, dvds, audiobooks, and holds pickup).

I wish I'd brought some knitting.

Or felt like writing.

It's going to be a long day.

I really want to be sewing right now.

But first I really need to make a dress form.

Anyone want to duct-tape me? No special skills needed other than patience and the ability to not disembowel me with a pair of scissors.

Since a Tunisian Crochet Hook is quite clearly the bastard love child of a knitting needle and a crochet hook, why doesn't there seem to be any porn of it?

Or is my Google-fu simply failing me?
