Current Mood : Still lazy.
Current Image Notes : Claire invites you to have a Japanese bento box lunch when you fly her airline ! This is one of the erasers I bought yesterday, and it's nearly perfectly in scale. I've seen the dish part in green on ITP, so I'm hoping to snag a couple more in the next week or three. Soon, you'll see Elphie with one (or more !) of the erasers that's more her size.
Still getting back into our ‘business as usual' schedule. I swear, I've forgotten most of it in the last two or three weeks.
Puppy Friday is still getting used to housebreaking. And he's found the Castle full of dolls darn near irresistible. Last week, he carried two dolls off ! Luckily, I caught him before either were damaged, but between the occasional puppy puddles and doll theft, he's banned from the Lab for the time being. While I could just close the door, I like for my Lab to be open, and the hall gets a lot of light from the Lab window. I'd been blocking Friday's entry with a cardboard triptych - a sale purchase from Hobby Lobby I haven't used yet - but DC likes to knock it down and lie on it. And it's getting fur and claw marks, too.
I figured out a better way after I knocked everything off my door trying to squeeze in without taking the barrier down last night. Even after moving the cabinet into Dearest Son's room and using two of the former-fabric-storage milk crates in it for toy storage, I had two crates and two larger containers left over. Plus, the crates were in the way of my closet doors, which was annoying. Still, since Friday can't jump very high... I found that both could block the door well enough from Friday, but it was easy for me to step over ‘em. And they were heavy enough that puppy power couldn't just push past them. I can even use them to temporarily hold stuff I've brought in that I don't have time to put away yet. Cool ! We'll see what DC thinks of them later this week, since he can easily jump over. I think our kitty likes the newly opened space in there as much as I do.
I'm hoping to get in there tonight and sew for a while. Right now, I'd be happy just to get the Leia blouse cut out and Fray-Checked. I've been horribly lazy lately. With Friday loving trash-can exploration, I cleaned out under the sink to store the can there - only to find out that a pipe will block any but the smallest boudoir-tiny trash can from the space. So I redid the cleaning supply storage instead, and got rid of four huge pickle jars. I think keeping two is plenty.
Beloved Hubby pointed out to me that he knows when I'm a bit worried about money. I save and wash everything - glass jars that held spaghetti sauce, plastic trays that sold pastries, and every box that comes in the mail. I wasn't even aware I was doing that, so it felt good to toss out stuff I wasn't ever gonna use, and not feel like I need to save everything, just in case. It's not like Monte Hall is gonna burst in the door and offer me $100. for every empty pickle jar I have under the sink !
