May. 1st, 2026 08:11 amHockey season is over as we suffered a not quite crushing but still sound loss to Anaheim last night. I am now cheering for Montreal as the only Canadian team left. I listened to the end even though it was pretty clear by the end of the second period that we weren't going to rally without some heckin' miracle. Ah well.
I can't do two audio input sources at once, so I turned my show off to listen. I pressed and sewed the hem of my dress. Put the collar together, then took a break to watch the video tutorial. There are no written instructions that I could find but I was OK with that as the video was done by a multi-generational tailor. I have done almost no collars with a collar stand, so it was nice to see a pro do it. I then put the collar stand onto the dress as directed, then the collar and stand facing in one go. By then it was nearly 10 and I needed to do some pressing, which I had already turned the iron off.
New pack of pins required the sacrifice. Right in the center of my finger pad. Yeep.
Also collected up the bin of recycling materials, washed a pan of dishes, swept, and made and ate dinner. All in all a productive evening.
Weekend plans! Yarn show in a nearby city with my yarny friend tomorrow. M has a whole weekend off so we can hang out on Sunday. We are both broke though so it won't be anything exciting. Try and finish my dress. Maybe cut out K's dress?
Oh, there's a ball on the 23rd, I guess I should be planning my outfit?
