Tired yet?

[kevinkinney]

Hello all,

I know we've all spent late nights and long days crafting our kit.

How do you know when you've spent too much time with your head to the textiles?

I just spent 30 minutes hand pleating a sash for my wife, and filling my coffee cup with pins as I removed them..

<sigh>

I was up late every night this week working on Scooby's second XKilt, the blue one. He says he wants Camo too, but I think I get the next one, I have two pieces of fabric on the way from F&K, soon I hope.

I have arranged to do a lesson tomorrow, on knitting machines, with the possibility of a sale.

I just spent an hour carefully preparing two items which in no way will combine and produce knitting. Different brands just don't work together.

Then I checked another machine and had to come down to the PC and compose an apology due to sending off a message which was totally wrong.

I just hope I can get a good night's sleep and be on form tomorrow.

Maybe I should find the other halves to what I have got ready and so have two sets to demonstrate.

Yes, I am just about burned out.
* Long list of things I am doing removed. *
Hopefully, that will help me on my next jacket conversion.

That is split between moving cinder blocks and swinging the mattock pick to get ready for the fall planting season.

I looked up from my workbench yesterday morning to see that I had about 5 minutes to run to my daughter's school to pick her up from kindergarten.

It was only when I got there I noticed how much fine sawdust covered me from working a sgian don't for Big Mikey!

Cheers

The first thing that tells me I've been at it too long is that I start making mistakes. And getting goofy.
The second is when I start talking to my sporran...

EDIT - Not long after posting this Southern Breeze was committed to the Betty Ford Institute for the terminally kilted. He is doing well and will soon be allowed visitors.
Southern Breeze's sporran.

Edit 2- Lock up your kilts! Southern Breeze has escaped and is being sought by agents from M.I.B. ( Men In Blackwatch) and the Department of Highland Security.

I'm going to an event for the SCA this weekend... it's a recruitment event, a bunch of SCAtians invited to someone else's event to show what we do. Over the last two days, I've probably put in about 12 hours on creating a display on the basics of heraldry.

Oh, and to bring this back on topic... I'll be wearing one of Celtic Croft's "Ancient Kilts" in Baird tartan, and, depending on how much time I have, likely working on a new leather doublet to wear with it.

Well, just to be contrary - I'm using the two kilts that I'm sewing on now as a break from the home renovations. Pull that up, tear that down, put this up, take a break and sew a couple of pleats, repeat.

[Packhound]

For me its a start on another kilt (inspired by Freedom Kilts) and I still have a navy wool jacket conversion. All this while working odd jobs to pay the bills. (Have been unemployed for 9 months now.)
