A productive morning.
Oct. 23rd, 2010 01:01 pmWoke up in a rare mood, spent part of it dinging on JAF on Facebook on basic general principle and reminding him I needed one more measurement. The LOL-factor seems to indicate he did not find the barrage of smartassery unpleasant and the necessary measurement was supplied in short order.
Monthly application of hair color has been completed.
The bonsai has been given its weekly ritual soak in the bathroom sink. It'll be due for fertilizer next week, when we hit the three month mark. It looks like it is staying green and healthy and likes the ambient light conditions of the stairwell immediately below the skylight.
Chicken has been roasted (the apartment smells like teriyaki), shredded, mixed with a metric craptonne of sushi rice and molded into round-shot. Three cups of rice makes an AWFUL lot of onigiri. Hope Vinhold is hungry. Remaining chicken is in the fridge and can be eaten as leftovers.
Two of the six commission kosode have been cut into their component pieces. (Done while chicken was in the oven.) Or should I say torn? Measure the rectangles, snip the edge of the fabric and tear. Yes, you can do that with Japanese clothing and fabric with a good, straight grain, and it really speeds the process along. Doesn't work with everything, particularly some of the silks I've worked with, but linen and cotton tear nice and straight along the warp.
WTF? Gotta be Glenn. Found the bikes all moved around and a ladder at the back end of the alley the other afternoon and heard noises on the roof too methodical to be squirrels, so Glenn must be fixing something up there.
Now, what to wear to Vinhold?
