stuff

Finished kimono #2 (Wonderful Husband's) yesterday. Got up this morning and inspecting the pieces for #3 (mine), discovered there were several small holes in about half the pieces. The collar it's okay for--I can just fold the edge they're closest to into the inside. But the overlaps and the collar guard? Had to recut them. Fortunately there was enough left over to do so, as this is a fabric I bought a few years ago that's no longer available.

Went shopping yesterday after work and finally found the present I've been looking for for my mother. Yay! Also stopped at a garden supply center and now have snow peas and stevia plants. I resisted on the roses, though! (Even though the Julie Newmar rose was lovely and Rainbow Sherbert had the most exquisite colors... and there were a couple striped ones I'd not seen before....) Someday, I am going to have a garden full of roses again.

Productive!

Well, have almost finished my kimono... half of the collar guard left, and the inner seams of the two sleeves, and that's it. Probably would have finished it today, but I took a couple hours to galivant through garden supply centers (four in total) with my mother this morning, which was fun, and a bit more time to work on my garden (begone, evil snails! *flings 'em over the fence*), not to mention putting in The Last Starfighter for background noise while sewing. But overall it's been a productive day, especially as Wonderful Husband spent it working out how to make hakama and succeeding! Yay because he is wonderful.

But for now me and my sun tea and the sewing are all going to bed because I can feel myself crashing.
