Okay, AWOL

Missing teeth. Well, they're not missing, they are just not in my head anymore. I'm still getting used to cleaning out the gaping holes and thank god the pain in receeding. Things that suck:

1. Having one of your wisdom teeth crack in half on your birthday
2. Spending your birthday in tears in the hospital, then at home on painkillers
3. Wisdom teeth extraction
4. X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Things that rock:

1. Sony eReader Pocket Edition
2. Harry Potter
3. Emily Post
4. Most of my friends
5. Making new friends

I took part in some serious retail therapy to deal with the past month, and am now more than $100 lighter in monies, and $100 heavier in make-up. I may have a wretchedly swollen face, but it sure is painted pretty.

Finished the love cove(r). As predicted, it brought the love.


I had initially hoped to do a houndstooth lining, but I didn't manage to get a sewing machine in time for finishing. My friend was still over the moon, so I guess it's okay if it's not my idea of perfect. Learned a lot about blocking with this one. I don't really have a lot of towels, and no big ones, so there was a bit of ghetto action going on with the drying process using a couple of old hoodies and my cat's big recliner. It took awhile to pick all the white kitty hairs out... but blocking was a success. The wild oak cable transformed from a tangled mess to something at least resembling the pattern. I do wish I'd used a much more plush yarn.

Started on another project, will write more about it later. I'll probably be working on it until winter, which is good, because I'll need it by then.

I need a new book to read, something not J. K. Rowling. Or Charlaine Harris.
