totchipandaFeels like nothing exciting is going on, even though some things are. We are in hockey playoffs again, so my evenings have been game mode (we won Monday's game but lost last night's). I stitched a little bit the other night but not much. The one pattern I printed out was a soft bra, which I cut fabric for (probably in the wrong size) and have otherwise ignored. Dance class has started again and I missed the first week but went this week. Nothing like some squats to humble you when you think you've been feeling better after migraines and anesthesia. Plus I was yawning my face off. Still, it was good to dance :)
Grandboss came in Tuesday and her and my boss talked for literally an hour and a half. It's been very chill since. Loud and I were just saying this morning that we're waiting for the shoe to drop, but hopefully things are a little less volatile now. Still gonna be looking.
I've been watching a lot of planning/journaling videos on YouTube lately. I know I want to use my journal MORE, though I don't really know HOW since I'm not a planning sort of person. I have some extra stickers in my subscription that are for Hobonichi Cousin (A5) books. I used a few stickers from the January sub in my other journal but have purposely not used February or May (didn't get the sub in March/April), thinking I can move the unopened kit along if I feel like/get around to it. But then I started thinking about how I could maybe use a planner more at work? Maybe? And maybe put stickers in it because stickers are great and make everything more fun?
In that vein, I wondered if I could find some free printable planner-type sheets to see if it would work for me. I was delighted to discover that Hemlock & Oak (a Canadian brand) offered not only printables, but FULL downloads of their planner pages. Like 576 pages of a Hobonichi-type B5 planner downloads. THANK YOU H&O!!! Their books are beautiful but expensive and I was reluctant to buy one if it isn't going to work for me. I downloaded the full book and printed off the last days of April, the month layout and most weeks of May. This gives me a range of pages to try out over the next little bit to try out. Printer paper isn't nearly as nice as the kind they offer in the book, but it'll do for a test.
Weekend incoming and that means wishful dreaming! I am cat-sitting for a friend and she has lots of open laminate floor space and her cat is 10, so I absolutely plan to make use of that and cut out fabric. Sunday is a group shirtdress sew-along by Tailor Academy which will take up most of my afternoon, and then I have a watch party of the hockey game at the arena. Next couple nights will be pattern printing, fabric washing, and collecting of items to travel with me.
