i was the old lady who lived in a shoe

It's half past one in the morning and I have nearly finished half-sewing a red satin drawstring bag that will eventually hold... something. When I started sewing the bag, approximately three hours ago (big bag, complicated stitching, was watching 'Closer' at the same time), I'm sure I had a reason for it/ I mean, there I was, on my sofa in my underwear, surrounded by the contents of my chest of drawers, and it really hit me that what I needed were some cloth bags. I then remembered that I had some red satin kicking around, as you do, and all of a sudden I'm hand-stitching something that would have taken me ten minutes if I'd bothered to hook up the sewing machine. But, noooo, I appear to have gone completely nuts instead.

Additionally, 'Closer' was a big fat lie. It kept promising me slash and twists and kinkiness (modern relationships, remember?) but never delivered. Instead there was marriage and affairs. Er. How is that 'modern', exactly? Is it a new-fangled thing? Am disgruntled.

I also appear to have eaten 1kg of clementines. I am not kidding or exaggerating. I purchased a kilo this morning, to add to the already-full fruit bowl. The fruit bowl is decidedly un-full now, which means I ate the entire bag.

OMG. I'm going to turn into those crazy old ladies who sews things for no reason and eats weird stuff. *clings to the vestiges of humanity*

The flat feels sorta empty. Hmmmmm. And I appear to have no work that needs doing. Double hmmmm. On the other hand, I have reoganised my chest of drawers, the living room cupboard, my closet and some of the storage boxes in the conservatory. Tomorrow, I shall tackle the whites wash, the ironing, the hoovering and also make myself pancakes.

*fidgets*

Um. Bored now. Also failed to sleep at all last night, so kinda hyper. But not sleepy. Nope.

Hey, I have some green satin kicking around too. Wonder what I can make from that?
