bee, as in busy

After being woken up for the third time in a row by somebody pulling the fire alarm (1:00 AM, 6:00 AM and 7:00…. yay…) I have decided it’s time to wake up.
But it’s ok, cause today I’m going to crafternoon tea and antiqueing and maybe the Scott Pilgrim volume three launch party, and tomorrow I’m seeing some of my friends from high school for the first time in, like, forever (they’re pretty much all smarty-pants who spend all their time getting their masters of geniusness from their respective, well-respected universities).
And I’ve been making throw pillows for my new couch.
I have been neglecting my crafty nature.
That has been making me feel grumpy and un-accomplished.
I started with a couple of little ones in a very pretty, variegated, teal tweed, and have still have a couple left in a red, vintage twill (but thankfully, getting started is the hard part - my sewing machine/brain takes a few tries to get going).
Next up for me: figuring out a inexpensive way to make a light fixture along the lines of those gorgeous and trendy paper cut-out ones. It’s just cut-out paper, right? I should be able to manage that for less than 100 dollars, without going cross-eyed and twitchy, right?
Now I have to go, because my kitten is chewing on my laptop.
