irritatedNow Playing: XM 150 - Uncensored Comedy (so I can hear somebody swear besides me !)
Didn't get much done today - removed the buttons from the blouse I posted a photo of yesterday. Did a little shopping, found some great green gingham for a buck a yard. You'll be seeing that as an Aria dress soon.
I didn't like how tight the neck was on her blouse, so I re-measured her in DSD. As it turns out, I over-measured everything already ! I thought I'd add a quarter inch to her neck circumference, turns out I already had. Tweaked her crotch curve a bit, added a half-inch of length to her legs, a quarter inch to her arms. Then printed out new patterns.
Well, at least I tried to print out new patterns. While our printer says we have half a black cartridge, it prints as though it's down to fumes and the memory of ink. Cleaned the entire printer, even cleaned the inkjets, rollers, and trays, and it improved - enough to print the front of the shirt pattern. Ended up drawing the seam allowance of most of the other pieces. I'm not sure if we need a new ink cartridge - most printers keep a running tab on what you've printed, they don't measure the actual ink supplies - or our printer is slowly dying. (sigh) Just hate to shell $33. to find out it's the printer. It's impossible to tell with these ink carts if they have ink in 'em or not.
I also broke my favorite sunglasses. I've had 'em since 1992. Prescription lenses and everything. I may try Plastix on 'em, I hate my other pair of glasses. Beloved Hubby wants me to make an appointment at the optometrists. I hate to spend the cash right now. Grrr.
So that was about my day. In frustration, I cleaned out a box of Cracked Pepper and Olive Oil Triscuits. My mouth is still burning a bit, but they were sooo tasty. I'll try again to clean the printer, but for now, I just wanna relax.
Hope your Saturday went well !
