(no subject)

Well, despite the foot, I kept busy all yesterday. I rolled all my skeins of yarn into balls (that I have found so far, anyway). I started piles of embroidery-related, quilting-related, and interfacing-like stuff. The fabric is being sorted into flannels, suitings, cottons, home dec, and dressy (probably to be divided into further subcategories later). I've been finding books of needles all over the place, so they have been consolidated into my master needle book as I find them.

Nobody would be able to tell I've accomplished anything so far were they to step into the office, but I think I have... and I think it will be worth a day or two (or three) of mess. I'm hoping I can get it done today, though, because there's lots to do downstairs too. Like, today, laundry day.

Spanish Rice

There was something very beautiful and Italian-flaggish about the chopped onions, green and red bell peppers, sliced garlic happily sauteeing in the skillet at lunch today. I sauteed them in olive oil and lime juice and was so worried the end result would be too sweet that I put a ton of onion powder, red pepper flakes, Vegeta, and taco seasoning in.

I'm glad I didn't add salsa, because it nearly blew out my eardrums.

No, not quite, but it was pretty warm. I had to take the last few noms with milk.

The cleaning is going pretty well. I have gathered all my fancy fabrics and managed to compact them tightly into one box, and all my suitings/canvas/denim into another. Next I need to figure out a system for my cotton prints and how I want to sort those.

Back to the grind.
