Flannel sheets
April 20th, 2013 10:30 pmAfter having to turn the AC earlier this week, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
daecabhir and I put the flannel sheets back on the bed since it will be dipping down into the 40's for the week. We opened up the house early on in the day but had to close it back up since we were getting chilly. The day was gorgeous though; the sky was brilliantly blue after last night's wicked storm. (We were under tornado watch for a bit yesterday evening.)
Today was bath day for the dogs and they got their Frontline treatment. Tucker has been on his maintenance dose of Adequan for a two months now and I have noticed that he starts to get gimpy around the three-week mark. We'll have to talk with Dr. Rushing to see if we can tweak his dose to keep him limber.
A friend of a friend pinged me about buying a few pieces of pottery which really made my day. Looks like I will be sending some spoon rests to North Carolina soon.
Apparently I have used up my sewing fu - for some reason the Kenmore started having fits and doesn't want to sew anything properly now. After fighting with it for two days, I gave up and poppednjzoomom's old Singer in the table and while it sews the test fabric just fine, it doesn't want to sew fan pouches or the broadcloth for bias tape. While I will do the bulk of the 'big' sewing on tent cover with the serger, I need a regular machine to be working for fan pouches, Mike's wrap pants, and the tent dags - not to mention chair covers and what ever else pops up.
In knitting news ... Oh wait. There is no knitting news because I have been so busy with everything else that I haven't have time to knit at all this month.
The best husband in the world not only helped me lay out 14 yards of fabric to cut down to the panels that we will measure and cut tomorrow for the tent cover but also did all the math to help make sure the angles would work with the fabrics that I bought. And then he took me out to dinner. He rocks my world - time and time again.
I've got a few more greenware pots to clean up in preparation to run a bisque firing tomorrow. That will leave me with everything left in the studio ready to glaze - which means I will have at least more glaze firings to run (and all the glazing to do) in the coming week.
Our faire flatware has been purchased and should be here next week. My Panda looked over the mugs that I have done this evening and picked one that he likes so that he will have it for faire (he still has to choose his glaze for it though). I'll be using a mug that came out really very nice ... right up until the time where I tried to knock a glaze run-off with a hammer. It took out a small chunk of the bottom edge, but I sanded it down and the mug is still usable. Let that be a lesson to me!
