Crummy Balcony

Oy.  Spent from 8 AM until 10 sewing yellow old junk to other yellow old junk (see yesterday's pictures).  Spent from 10 to 11 photoshopping some images for the little bookie for the Sketchbook World Tour (!) which I am sending a book to this year again since the tour makes a stop in Boston.  I got the front and back on, and fused an image to the front but the whole 18 double pages inside is remaining blank until I can get it organized.  It will be yet another autobiographical tome about a tiny bit of my childhood, but never fear, of course I will post the whole thing here when I get it under control.

Anyway, I made some headway.  Then I went to my little local stitch and bitch group where I spent an hour UNknitting the inch I added last night as I sat in a meeting I was bodily forced to attend.  Let's just say It's Was NOT My Cuppa...  and now I have o redo what I thought I was doing just fine on.  But like everything, when I really thought about leaving the mistakes in, I know bloody well that is exactly what I will see every time I look at it so better to UNknit one inch then to just never wear it, right?  Right.  I hear Geneva's voice and she's proud.  Geneva was my mom, the perfectionist.  OK, so that's what the book is about too.  Sigh.  And I'm supposed to be an adult.  ha.

So after the UNknitting and eating vast quantities of pea soup because it's so cold here today, I went back to the studio and continued for another 3 hours sewing yellow old junk down.  And I decided that I need to FIX something there too to make sure it's absolutely square-  it's now a 1/2" off and I can either fix it right or try to iron the hell out of it.  Geneva says fix it right.  And I am a dutiful daughter even ten years after she has departed the planet.

I was hearing from Geneva today so much because my internet was down and I didn't have Boston NPR to listen to or Hulu to watch-  nothing but silence so she was coming through loud and clear on all my subjects!  By the time I left the internet was back so maybe tomorrow she will have more competition for my attentions (and I may be able to ignore some of it!)  And, my horrors:

You're feeling more confident about your job today, even if you're not receiving much feedback. Instead of riding on an emotional rollercoaster, your moods begin to stabilize, allowing you to maintain an overall sense of calmness. Integrate the wild ups and downs you recently experienced rather than stirring up new excitement now. Although this may be a mellow day, there will still be more thrills before your ride is over.

there ya go.

Well yes of course, here are my bank account numbers and my security numbers and my passwords to do with as you see fit.  What?  Was I born yesterday?  Good thing Geneva is watching over my stupidity today, eh?  Yikes.
