It was a lovely day. I could get used to this working half-time business. Lazed around in bed this morning, reading Hitchhiker's Guide, walked in to work around 11:30 to get my binder and then went to Panera for lunch and to work on the conference I had this afternoon. Wandered up to the Record Exchange, but they didn't have the CD that I particularly wanted and the other CD I was interested in was too expensive. Still, it was a lovely feeling, strolling around shopping at 1 in the afternoon.

Finally got a start on sewing the foot of my boot together. It's a painful process because I'm sewing upholstery vinyl to flooring vinyl. Ouch. But it's coming along and should be done soon. I will be the happiest of happy little campers when it is all done. Then I'll be able to return my attention to the whole packing and moving thing that is fast approaching.

sewing upholstery vinyl to flooring vinyl

Is that bad?

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Well, upholstery vinyl is like thin, felt-backed plastic, and flooring vinyl is basically like linoleum, so imagine trying to push a small sewing needle through those two together. It's hard on the fingers. It's also hard because the vinyl has to be wrapped around the shoe frame before it can be sewed on, so I have to stick my hand inside the boot (very limited space) to push and pull the needle. It's not fun, but it's the best way I can think of to keep the whole thing from falling apart.

Sounds dangerous, I mean could you prick yourself.

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Yes, I could and frequently do prick myself. I have bled for these boots, and I will probably bleed more before they are done.

Poor you :-(

Nah, it's all part of the fun. If it was easy and painfree I wouldn't feel like I was accomplishing something. :)

Very true
