I find that I still have not finished/installed my Neverland moodset. Fascinating.

Today I must be productive.

I could:

*Get a load of some kind of food drying.
*Finish reading "The Borrowers Afloat"
*Do some more sewing on my black and white dress, because it would be nice to have it done before Christmas (goals! yay!)
*Ransack my fabric closet to find the missing handle strap stuff without which I cannot finish our travel bags

I think that could easily keep me occupied for the day.

I think I will take a solitary walk now and take Spot out with me later. I might mention he is a naughty kitten who has decided it's fun to streak outside every time we open the door. He even goes away from the door as we open it like he's trying to make us think he's not paying any attention. Then he makes a dash. So far we have caught him before he gets out (except for the first time he pulled this trick, when he did get out on the patio). But still.

Why can't he be that enthusiastic about running outside when he's safely leashed?

Spot is fuzzy.

Well, I went through every single box in my sewing closet. The last one I looked in had the handle strapping stuff. Blah. So I sewed on my dress for a while. It involves a crash course in shirring. For the record, I hate shirring... and I'm really irritated because I pulled it too tightly in one spot and didn't notice until after I cut the threads. (We're talking about two-tone here and I had to use white thread on the sleeve part and black on the rest of it.) BLAH. So I'm probably going to have to re-do both colours on that row of stitching. I think I've had enough for today. Pet Society will comfort me since Spot seems to think the floor is more fun to lie on than my lap. Mean kitty.

I also cut out a ton more quilt blocks because when hunting for the strapping I found a bunch of small pieces of fabric that really can't be used for anything else. That felt good to accomplish at least that. Which reminds me, I need to calculate how many blocks I'll need for a twin-sized quilt. *runs away*

81” x 107” for a twin bedspread. 27 squares across by 35 or 36 squares down, then.

Why am I hungry again already?
