my coworker DID get tested and WAS negative so now we know that. i feel
very whiplashed.
i was busy all day and have achieved basically nothing. cāest la vie. I did
bake bread and made soup for dinner, and planned this weekās meals and I
cut out the fabric to make a bunch of masks with silk filters. Iām letting
myself embroider whimsical things on two of them and weāll see if I get
those done.
dude is taking an online workshop in kintsugiā like, real kintsugi with
the actual urishi resin and suchā and did that for the first time today. i
want to learn too. he is very open-eyed about hobbies; he picks things up
expressly planning to only ever do a couple of projects and then drop the
hobby. Banjo was like that, he meant for it to have an expiration date, and
did it longer than heād meant only because I picked it up too. I want to go
back to it, though, and he doesnāt care.
But it turns out kintsugi isnāt rocket science, so weāll see if I can pick
it up from watching him do it. Heās had the great idea that heās doing one
in the class, but then he collected the rest of our chipped dishes and is
doing three or four more in his own time, and then at the next session he
can choose the one that came out worst to ask the teacher about, etc. Each
step has like, days of curing time, so.
And the guy sells the supplies, and thereās a discount for students, so
maybe at the end Dude can buy another batch of the stuff. I sure do have a
lot of broken dishes I canāt bear to throw out that iād like to fix up.
Iiii would like this embroidery to be going on without my input, alas I
have lost interest. This is typical for me, but I am always in denial about
it and am like āno i can do complicated projectsā. I technically can, but.
The other project Iāve been lowkey working on is that Goodwill has online
auctions for stuff, and if you search you can find beat-up old fur coats on
there, and Iāve been bidding on those. Check the shipping and handling
costs before you commit; I just paid ten dollars for a leather jacket in my
size but the shipping was almost twenty on top of that. I have a couple of
old furs coming and weāll see if i got enough to make the blanket I wanted
to make, but I just got a brand new brainwave about itā
so when i was a little kid I had a huge stuffed woolly mammoth that my mom
made me, and I loved it so much, and it eventually got thrown out and IDK
why. I want another one, and Iām skilled enough at sewing to make my own.
Like, a pillow-sized plushie, weāre talking here. And thatās great, Iāll do
that one of these days. But it just crossed my mind that I could upholster
that shit in actual fur, if I had any left over from the blanket project,
so. Listen this could be awesome or horrible and we just donāt know which.
