Low key day.
Slept in (yay!), mailed off two hats, helped Mom fix her internet issues. Okay, my husband did that, but I was watching, so I’m claiming it. Showed the blue Tyrathia scarf to Mom, who was gratifyingly impressed. Dad’s seen a picture and he’s pretty wowed too. I’m packaging it up to mail tonight.
Took photos of my beading supplies from my jewelry days as part of a possible trade, then realized I really, really need to sell some of that stuff or trade it or otherwise get use out of it. It’s high quality material. I may occasionally make earrings or some such, but not big pieces anymore.
Discussing Monkey Island and Grim Fandango made me look and see what other games were out there. Apparently the guy who did Grim Fandango did a game called Psychonauts last year. I’m snagging one for PS2 from eBay.
I draped my daughter’s little shoulder scarf over the rocking chair in her room yesterday. When she went to bed, it was still light (long Southern summer days) and so she got it and wore it while she slept. She kept it on, too, because when she staggered out of bed at midnight to go use the bathroom, she took it off, did her thing, then put it back on again to stagger back to bed. It warms my heart.
I’ve bought a 100g skein of Fortissima Colori sock yarn. It’s “disco” yarn, pink striped with a thin strand of tinsel-like silver wound throughout, though the sparkles don’t show up in the pic. I think it’ll make nice socks for my girl.
Tonight, I’m watching one of my favorite movies, L.A. Story and relaxing a bit.
Next up: Dragonrealms-wise, update some references and the weddings rare material list, place some Real Gems. Knitting-wise, hat on the needles for Illinois, then next are New Hampshire, Indiana, and Norway. Skål!
