sakon76So LJ's prompt of the day is "what did you do for Valentine's Day?" Answer: nothing. We went to dance class after work, where we suffered the in-retrospect hilarious interlude of the teacher of the class next door bursting in and demanding that we turn off the music since her class couldn't study with it playing. Our teacher responded that ours is a dance class and thus requires music, and further that said crabby lady had already been directed to take her issues to the people who run the center, one of whom was standing between our instructor and this lady and trying to get the lady to listen to him. Eventually he succeeded in getting her out of our classroom and I hope resettled her group into a different room; our class can't move because we need the room with the dance floor. This was a smirch on an otherwise good class. Honestly, you'd think that getting old would lend you a touch of grace or class or whatever you want to call it, but in this lady's case, apparently not!
Went home after class, ate dinner, got cold (I've noticed this tends to happen to me after dance class...) and ended up huddled in bed with my sushi blanket, doing cross-stitch on the big old-style map project I'd set to the side. I'm on my sixth color now, oooh~! However, in my defense, the colors I've done thus far were the ones that had a LOT of use in the thing. Still, it's in a large embroidery frame and thus not really a transportable project; I need to find something that is so that I can take it along places. I'm guessing I'll probably pick some blackwork for that again. There's a Holbein stitch strawberry pattern I would like to try, and I have red and green silk twist....
