I think everyone should use their free v-gift to send me birthday wishes :p or to send ![[info]](http://img.greatestjournal.com/userinfo.gif) silveradept good luck wishes, whichever ;)
In crafting news, I started working on a few things for a FMS swap, and for a Craftster swap. Tomorrow I organize myself and mark off when I need to be sending things by -- I somehow got involved in too many swaps than I'd really like to be involved in. It was an accident, I swear!
Then I need to make a list of supplies I need to round up. Hopefully between me, my mom, and some other relatives, I'll have everything I need for the swaps.
I also need to get some fleece somehow to make SA's pillows for his housewarming that I promised him months ago. (I told him i'd make him pillows as a housewarming gift, but i'd wait til he moved so I could just mail them to him instead of making him transport them) I need about a 1/2 yard each of Green, Red, Purple, White, and some black felt. I shouldn't need more than a half yard, I don't think. I also am planning on stenciling the block M onto two ice cream bowls that are in Blue and Maize for him, but so far I haven't found a decent M to use,and I also haven't found the shade of blue I need yet, so he might get them undecorated. We'll see.
( swaps i'm in with dates and stuff I'm making/need to make )
basically, I need to have four of the packages ready to go on the 27th, and I'm on track. I'm almost done my FMS swap to be honest, I've got the base coat on the picture frame - all it needs is whatever I decide to decorate it with, and then I have to do the photo CD, which won't take too much time - I can probably get it done this weekend. The other two photo frames I want to make I plan on making tomorrow while I still have all the paints and glue out. If I get my arse further in gear and print out my images for the magnets, I can also get started on those.
I did stop by the Rag Shop's going out of business sale this morning to see if they had any fleece, but they're all sold out of fabric. I did dip into my meager funds to spend $6 on a bunch of stuff that should have cost a lot more, most of which are for upcoming swaps. YAY for cheap ass swap stuff. Also, Rag Shop has patterns for .10/ea, so I scored a few patterns for some projects I have in the wings for certain people who are expecting a baby sometime in November.
Anyway. silveradept's given me something to do for him, which I think he's asking me to do so I still feel important (either that, or he's being lazy), and that's to map out his route to Tacoma, trying to avoid as many toll roads as possible, and getting him to at least visit Mount Rushmore on the drive out. It's fun. I told him I'll have a PDF for him by Monday with my route and stuff. I also did some research on an extended stay hotel for him, and found him one that's fairly "cheap" - $44/night as opposed to the $79/night one we had found first. It's the least I can do, since I'm not able to help him do the physical move.
While I was out at his house, he had me go through some of his old clothes and I was able to grab a few things for reconning. So...I now have A LOT of jeans and I want to create some kind of denim skirt out of it. I also got a hold of a few T-shirts. I might make some T-shirt reusable grocery bags for SA out of them, since they are his shirts, or I might try my hand at reconning them into smaller (tighter) shirts for me. We'll see which I decide to do. I also snagged two pairs of boxer briefs that SA said he never wore and never will wear. I was thinking I could wear these for bed, as I've been known to sleep in men's boxers. They're....odd. Makes me feel like I'm wearing spandex shorts or something. I'll try sleeping in them tonight and see how it feels.
I'm...doing okay, surprisingly. I think it's more to do with me having stuff to do over anything else, really. I still have a strong desire to just curl up under the blankets and have a good cry with the kitty, but I didn't give in to it, and that's the important part. It also helps that I did a lot of crafting today, and crafting keeps me calm and happy.
...I went to bed, and never pressed post. Oops.Strangely Feelin':  discontent Current Music: Hannah Montana |
