I go through these phases, right? Where apparently I’m an adolescent. I’m not even talking about my penchant for toilet humor. No, this is more of the “I have these specific things to do, but I’d rather go out, or maybe make some food, because I don’t feel like dealing with the things I have to do” kind of thing. Aren’t we supposed to outgrow that shit? I mean, really. If I had to live with me, I’d be really annoyed. Not only do I not get what I need to get done, but I whine about it, too. Ugh.

So, anyway, I’ve made a list of all the things I need to get done, when I need to do them, etc, between now and Tuesday. Much of it is just stuff that I’ve ignored forever, and now I have to deal with it. Some of it is actually fun, crafty things, like making a couple of skirts. See? I’m even avoiding the fun stuff. Annoying.

Right, so, I’ve got my list. I’ve cleaned off the crafty table upstairs (you know, the thing that’s been impersonating a mountain for the last several months), and I’m ready to go. Well, first I need to excavate the sewing machine. I have three; you’d think at least one of them would be accessible, right? Um, not so much. Now that I’m on a roll, though, it shouldn’t be too difficult.

Crafty items on the list for this weekend:

• Finish M’s book (belated shower present, that she already knows about). Finally picked out the fabric for the covers. My fabric stash is big enough, you’d think this would have been easier. Hopefully it’ll be ready to hand over tomorrow evening.
• Two skirts. I have the fabric picked out for those. One green, one yellow. I think I’m going to make a slip to wear under them as well. The yellow one is a bit see through, and I don’t really want to line it, so a slip would be great. Plus, I have that really big lace that M gave me when she was cleaning out her craft supplies before she moved. I think I have zippers for these somewhere in my notions stash. Otherwise, I’m doing them with buttons, or hell, elastic, just to get them made.
• One apron. I have this great fabric with little folk dancers on it. It’s awesome! It’s white with little people in multi-colored outfits, so it’ll go great with many of my skirts.

There’s other, less fun, stuff to do, of course, but who wants to hear about paying the bills and organizing the household files. Whee! I’m going to post photos of the craftiness as I work on them, so there’s something to look forward to.
