Rhymes with silver: July 2008

10 oclock and all's well

I don't know when ten oclock started to feel late. I suspect it was around the time when 30 stopped sounding old.

'kay, so one day left in July and I have finished the quiltlet and might, if I push it tomorrow night, get the goal done on Magda. I'm not sure where the camera batteries went - I think they went into boyo's electronics set, so no pics tonight.

I need to see what kind of quality stills I can get from my webcam. When I have a few minutes to spare.

I wish my kids would put their socks in the wash, rather than leaving them under whatever piece of furniture they were sitting at when they took their shoes off.

Unusual definition of frequent

Okay, so twice in the holidays I tried to update. Once my computer crashed and once the internet broke.

So, here I am. July goals were not an incredible success.

I finished my ornaments.

Unfinished: Madga, Quiltlet.

Secret birthday something ended up being purchased because I found the totally most perfect gift for the birthday boy. Detective Conan patterns ended up being shleved because I was taking too long and the requester decided to do them herself. Cat ear fleece hat didn't happen because my sewing machine and I are not on particularly friendly terms.

But I did get a couple of things done:

A Biscornu pincushion for my mum.

CTC19 - Rainbow
The dragon fractal from the chapter headings of Jurassic Park.

Claddagh for a workmate's wedding

I still have four days left, so I'm hoping to get the quiltlet and Magda goals done. I'll keep you posted.
