a-okNow Playing: "The Incredibles" - Dearest Son loves the explosions even more now !
Whew ! Sometimes, I can't stop myself. I'm already a day ahead of the pattern catalog image processing. There's only 27 images left to do. I may just finish tomorrow, if it's a boring day. I'm so close to finishing, I literally can't stop. If I have a slightly restless night, I'll label it ‘insomnia' and crop/clean a few more overnight, until I literally fall asleep in the chair. I get so obsessed over the most minor things.
But, when it's all done, there'll be 94 new sheets in the album I'm using as a catalog. Beloved Hubby, who's been amazingly patient while I'm obsessing, said that if I found someone with a more complete or comprehensive selection of cataloged patterns, I'd probably attack. He may be right. Again.
Our bank gave Dearest Son a balloon and offered me a choice of measuring spoons or a scraper spatula. I took the spatula, a green one. All embossed with the bank's name, of course, but freebie score ! Some folks can't grow plants. Others can't keep fish alive. I keep melting or losing spatulas.
Finally cleaned the stickers off the yellow Barbie VW Beetle. We were out of Goo Gone, so I used baby oil to remove the sticker residue. It takes a lot more elbow grease this way, but the Beetle looks like it's had a wax job ! It's parked next to the green VW Beetle, so the floor in the Studio is beginning to resemble a miniature used car lot.
DMIL gave me another pair of wrecked pants to cut up for fabric. Score ! It's like velvety silk ! Got it all cut down and saved the elastic waistband. They're great for securing the bag outside the trash can, so it won't slip down. All the trash cans in the house have one - the smaller bathroom cans use waistbands from some of Son's old clothes ! - except the one in the Studio. It has one now !
Tonight, Beloved and I did the grocery shopping. I love Back-to-School sales ! We got some of what Son will need next month and a few art supplies for him. Crayola markers, just 88c ! And Beloved insisted on getting me the good document protectors for my pattern catalog. I normally buy the cheapest. But he said all my work deserves to be preserved and displayed well. So the good pack of 50 went into the cart. Since 94 printout sheets will use 47 of ‘em, there won't be many left for pattern piece storage !
I didn't even go near the doll section while we were out. No need. I'm seriously re-thinking the ReAnne doll, and I don't really need anything else. Besides, I just visited TRU and Mal-Wart on Thursday, while Son was deciding what to get since nobody had BumbleBee. So I was sort of shopped out when it comes to dolls. I did get myself some Provolone !
