My to-do list right now consists of equal parts:

-- Stuff I can't do till Tuesday/February/May
-- Stuff I'm not sure I can actually do, but am willing to have a bash at
-- Stuff I don't want to do right now

In the "Stuff I'm not sure I can do" department, Mum gave me her old sewing machine for Christmas. It's fifteen years older than I am, gorgeously preserved, and freshly tuned-up. Sewing my own clothing can't be that hard, right? I know how to use this machine and I did several classes in costume design, though admittedly they were heavy on the theory. I've been patching/repairing my own clothing by hand for years. The hardest part ought to be taking measurements. Fortunately, being my own tailor, I can always send it back for improper fit.

I suspect 90% of the stuff I don't want to do right now I can do on Tuesday, while watching Hoarders, because it's mostly cleaning and organising and nothing makes me want to clean like watching Hoarders.

I'm fetching a bunch of things from storage today, dropping off one box at the Brown Elephant and two in the trash. Coming home with me are a dozen masks I made back when I had a proper workspace; I'm planning to auction them for Haitian Relief, but I'm still trying to remember how I did the auctions last time. I'm sure I can improvise something. :D

I have received all your comments on CG and read them, but it's going to take me a little while to work through them, so I haven't replied yet. Probably will this evening; nothing says "three day weekend" like beer and copyediting on a Sunday night. :D

So that did not exactly go as planned!

Okay, well, storage did, but then I got ennui and did not fix CG as I should have, nor did I cook or clean or anything. I did take photos of all the masks I'm going to sell but assembling a post about it is going to take some time. My desk is covered in leather and ribbons! And pinstripe for the vest I'm making, which I can't actually continue on with until I get some of that neat webbing stuff you iron onto the fabric to make it stiff.

I am going ahead with the "beer" portion of the evening as designated, though.

So I thought to myself, what goes with this beer?

I KNOW. SOME PANCAKES.

And as la_rainette sent me some pancake molds for Christmas, I am going to make some MOLDED PANCAKES.

( Can you guess what happened next? PANCAKE CARNAGE. )

My flat is filled with smoke. Maybe I should open a window for a while.
