Busy last few weeks!
Been a while. Busy for some reason with work and tuning which picked up right around tax time and hasn't let up. Yay for me tho I have to wait for the $$ since they are primarily for institutions. Oh well. So be it. In the meantime I had a sewing weekend with Sherry where I traced out patterns, made a muslin top which was supposed to be wearable but I accidentally hacked a hole in it when almost done with my serger knife. Sigh. I also did a knit t-shirt with lettuce edging. I've never done lettuce edging and it turned out pretty well. However, the top could be done in a size smaller. I wasn't sure about the negative ease so sized up. Uh, no.
This coming week I'll be tuning for a performance in Arlington for a jazz pianist coming here. He's pretty big. The gentleman who is promoting it is happy I'll be doing the piano again this year. That was nice to hear. REALLY nice. I get free tickets to it so that I can be there in case something isn't right or breaks or something.
On top of it all I am going to a baseball game with a friend Tuesday, Wednesday I am tuning, Thursday is Ladies Night at Skagit Valley Gardens, and Friday I am tuning and then going to the performance in Arlington. On top of that I am on call at work next weekend. So I can't plan anything either day until after 8 am. The drawback of being low on the totem pole at work. I get the dregs of on call schedule which means I work holidays. Or potentially work holidays if the regular gal calls in sick.
The yard has really been growing like crazy. I need a hedge trimmer to do some pruning. The camelia and the boxwood are out of control. The strawberries are coming on strong. The peas and beans have begun to really grow. I need higher stakes than I've got on them. Just put a couple tomatoes in against the south side of the house today. They ought to like that.
