May. 7th, 2019 12:37 pmI haven't posted in forever, because I haven't sewed in forever.
Okay, so that last part isn't 100% true. I did attempt to make a new slip last week, since mine is completely falling apart. But since I was only home for abut 30 mins a day last week, and that included when I needed to eat dinner, I have yet to finish it. All it needs is a side seam and the waistband put on, so hopefully I'll finish it this week.
What I really need to be working on, sewing-wise, is the commission. Now that Big Fish is open and I don't have rehearsal every day, I should have time to get to that very soon. But first I have to play catch-up on all the things I haven't had time to do for the last 2+ weeks, which is mostly house/yardwork. I've already mowed both lawns in the last two days, went grocery shopping, and cleaned the kitchen (and I went to the gym and walked Lion). Today, I hope to run a couple errands, go to the gym, give Lion a bath, clean the living room, put up two new towel bars and a new curtain liner in the bathroom, spray all the weeds in my yard, do a load of laundry, and put away all my clean laundry (including from the last load I did).
I know, realistically, this will not all happen today. But luckily, I have tomorrow after work as well, and I finally get Friday off again this week. (I normally work M-Th, but I've had to work M-F for the last three weeks, plus longer hours during the week, plus rehearsal every night.) Naturally, I'm feeling very burnt out at the moment, which is why sewing has not also happened yet.
The really nice thing that I'm looking forward to, though, is that I get to take an absolutely relaxing break in a few weeks! My mom and I wound up booking a last minute Alaska cruise a couple weeks ago for the end of May. And I'm rather looking forward to being forced to do nothing at this point. But I definitely do need to finish the commission before then!
