Days half over, she says dazedly

I have had two shots of espresso and a whole package of M&M's and the brain is STILL fogged. Bleh.

I stayed up way too late last night after getting home from serving dinner at the shelter, reading email and websurfing, so I got to bed about 11.

Then my cat decided that it was play with paper bag time at 4 am. FOUR AM! Of course it was a paper bag right by the head of my bed. I vaugely woke up and yelled at him to stop occasionally for a good 30 min before I was mad enough to wake up all the way to escort him to the door and kicked his little behind outside into the cold frosty air. Not to worry, my heart was frostier at that point, and he has a nice thick fur coat this winter, so his little ears will be fine. Grrr, stupid cats. Oooooh, how neglected and unloved he is! He only gets kitty treats once a day! Call the SPCA!

Paper bag playing is cute at 11 am, or anytime after the alarm goes off and I'm not trying to take a nap, but in the middle of the night? NO.

Two and a half more days and I am done with this job. Not like I'm counting it down or anything.

One of my next projects

This is what I want to do for my next project, headresses (she's wearing two, one on top of the other) and all!

The dress underneath the cloak appears to be made out of moire or wattered silk, in a pale olive green. Anyone know of a good source for moire silk? I haven't done a full search for it yet, but it doesn't seem easy to find. I may just have to go with a different kind of silk for the project if I can't find any.

Oooooh, nice fabric

Sigh, $75 a yard, Check out the Italian stuff
