ugh
it's been a hellacious week.
So this morning, the gal from Charlotte says unkind things about crafters. I hated the "if it's women's work it's oppressive and not worth doing" subtext of her article.

OK, so working with our hands doesn't remove the fear. But it soothed me in those dreadful post 9/11 days until I could think and act. It continues to soothe me so I can sleep and maintain a semblence of normalcy for my kids. Also the idea of sewing as oppressive: so ill-fitting clothing isn't? I sew from necessity. I have to make a pair of pants tonight.
For 2 hours work, i'll have something useful for my actual work. If she shoots hoops for 2 hours, what will she have to show?
And I got word that my squares for an exchange weren't right. Damn but claret and burgundy look alike in the dark!
No mail yet, says hubby. Hope my hat comes. Gonna fasten buttons in the braid around it. Hope I still have my "Graduate Han Solo School of Hyperdrive Repair" one.
Hubby answered the phone "Schuster, Shyster and Scheister."
I asked for "Schiller."
Pricing button maker. Will see what buttons are selling for at MWC. And what size is popular.
Got the TIE fighter square done. Must size up to match Alliance insignia.
Starting X-wing.
blah. Just blah.
