Unfinished Object

The weekend will be busy as usual: Libby to the vet, continued work on the bathroom and general house keeping. Toss in the need for some serious yard work, truck cleaning, and a trip to the tile store and you get a crazy weekend. And that my friends is what lays ahead. It may not, however, be what happens. D and I both have some serious diversions drifting around this weekend and it would not be difficult to succumb to the temptation of taking a weekend off. Hopefully we’ll find a happy medium between assignments and amusements.

Me, I want to sew, which surprises me given the amount I’ve done recently. Usually I move in ebbs and flows, but right now I just can’t seem to get enough. I suspect that much of that encouragement is the advent of ‘homeless crafts’ ... I’m really diggin’ this gifting away of things. Not to mention the gradual reduction of my stash. The most recent gift-away hopped a plane this morning bound for Erika at mmmmbrains.* Up next will likely be coasters. Yes, coasters. Its an odd project, but a great way to use up the tiny scraps of material that I just cant seem to toss. I’m also kinda hot to go through a couple of the fabric boxes and eliminate that which will never be used and I hate to not act on that feeling lest it pass me by.

I also want to start breaking down my growing boxes. Yes, the very ones that I worked so hard to build. Garden planting did not happen this year due to several unexpected events, and I think the neighbors might be a bit tired of looking at the weedy eyesores. In a way ripping them out is part of my little project / big project challenge this year. Right now they are an ‘unfinished object’ as well as one that I haven’t time to care for properly. Under the ‘finish it or forget it’ rules off they go. I’ve ordered some blanket flower and vinca seeds (both natives) and plan to scatter them willy-nilly the full length of the bed and let ‘em go. Toss in a little plumbago, frangipani, and canna and it’ll still look like a weedy eyesore, but with flowers.

D, on the other hand, is being sorely tempted by the computer (ok, I admit it, so am I). The game we indulge in is offering ‘double xp’ this weekend, ie double points. Points are good, and we both have characters that are tantalizingly close to level 50 (the highest level) Yes, it should be very interesting to see what is actually accomplished in the next two days. Oh, and its going to rain and you should be well versed in my ‘Sunday rain rule’ by now - heh.

* Erika has the best darn links around, including this one that I just couldn’t be more enthralled with.
