Apr. 15th, 2025 08:14 amI both issued to and accepted a challenge from ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
danabren to get some "just DO the damn thing" chores, and she proceeded to blow me out of the water before even reading it lol. But I did do some of those chores so:
-Vacuumed one area (of three)
-scooped cat box
-prepared garbage for yeeting
-swept kitchen floor
-folded and put away laundry
aw yiss. The floor has not been vacuumed in a *very* long time (the executive dysfunction is real yo) but it's getting done now. I plan to do the bedroom tonight.
Dinner was a turkey sandwich, in which I prepared some items for lunch today too. Win! Then I spent the rest of my evening printing patterns and assembled one. Apparently all I needed to do to center the PDF on the page was to click "print as image", which took care of that. Took two more patterns to figure it out, but eh.
I printed the slip pattern and I THINK i'll use some silk that K sent me home with in the fall. We were discussing how fabrics feel, like yes silk charmeuse would probably feel incredible but I do not have a silk charmeuse budget right now (K: who does? Spent it all on eggs. Me: Silk was probably the cheaper option too). Stash it is. I opined that a washed taffeta might be alright, on the memory of having to wash a piece that had gotten soaked in the gross ceiling water 5 years ago and how soft it was. But I was already in bed so I wasn't about to jump out and look at it.
Also printed a sundress pattern and I happened to look over at the giant stack of crinkle cottons I put aside to put away together once I finished the cataloging project. I have... many colours. White (which I intend to make a lingerie dress), black, three shades of blue, brown, olive green and ORANGE. I have options there lol.
Oh, I also bought a packet of invisible zippers just to have on hand, and a flat-plugged extension cord. Should be here tonight so at the latest I can pick it up tomorrow. While I'm out, I'll get the stuff for the cats and some pretty thread.
