Cleaning day

Bleh, It's cleaning day, and the house needs it so desperately too. I am working on one room at a time, almost have the bedroom done, including folding the mountain of clean laundry, then its on to vaccuming, lunch and a massage appointment.

I am so surprised at how exhausted I am, I didn't think that I was running on that little sleep but my body has made it pretty clear that I was not getting enough.

Yesterday Ysebelot (YC) and I went out and trolled through Nancy's sewing basket, *Dangereous* place. Oooh, their ribbon and trim room is to die for! She said several Hail Mary's, being Catholic persona and all, I being Protestant just stuck to the Lord's Prayer and a Psalm or two before entering the store. End result? I was overcome with temptation and bought some wonderful gold lace trims, she bought nothing. Something to be said for the HM's I think.

Then it was off the the Weaving Work's and we both got some linen and wool fine gauge yarn to practice finger-loop braiding with. I also got some 1.75 mm reed for the new steuchlein that I am going to make, plus I'm going to try using it for boning in the new corset that is one of my next projects.

Last night I worked on practicing my finger loop braiding that I learned at a class this last weekend, it came out pretty even.

Lunch today: Scallops sauteed in white wine and lemon juice

Outbid on Ebay, by 2 cents!

Grrr, There was a fur coat that I wanted on eBay for a project. In the last 45 seconds of the auction I was outbid by TWO CENTS! TWO CENTS!!!! Arrrgggg!

Oh well, guess it wasn't meant to be. There are others that I am interested in, so I am watching those with an eye to pounce on them at the last minute.....
