Sew so

[susandennis]

After I got home from the grocery store, I sat down to catch up and all of a sudden I was terminally sleepy. So I slept for 30 minutes. And I've felt perfect since. Weird. Very.

So I didn't hit the sewing room until late and started with fixing a pillow case. I like my cases envelope style and I found one this morning that had not been upfitted so I did. 2 seams. I sewed them both incorrectly and so undid them and then redid one wrong again. I was like a master fuckerupper. Finally got the case done and then realized I needed more doll faces before I make more dolls so I started on that. I'll finish tomorrow.

Turns out, as much as I'd like to be, I am not smart enough for the NY Times crossword puzzle. Mondays, maybe but mostly not. The rest of the week, NFW. But, legalmoose turned me on to their mini puzzles and to those, I am now addicted. My latest treat is to check in the late afternoon and find that I have not yet done today's!

I made some macaroni and cheese the other day with velveeta. It was good but there was way too much. Last night I put some cream and butter into a baking dish and added some of the leftover and backed it for about 30 minutes. OMG was that good. I am going to repeat that for tonight's dinner. I got some really pretty pork chops today and one of those will share the plate.

Time to get to knittin'

I can handle the NY Times crossword until about Wednesday. I do the Sunday one too, but it takes me all week to finish.

Power nap!

The "reveal square" button is helpful for hints at words. And it does get easier as you do them - you start getting familiar with some of their common hints, which helps.

Ohhhh I am way too proud to use the reveal options (well, maybe in desperation but the only ONCE a week max). My other rule is that I'm allowed to go back and do one of the older ones, in addition to the daily, only every other day.

The other day, I didn't realize my sound was down until I didn't get the HOOORAY YOU SOLVED IT music. Solving is not nearly as much fun without it.

I'm just laughing at the juxtaposition of your pork chop dinner-to-be with your Israeli snack pack! :-)

[susandennis]

hahahhaah I did not even think of that until you comment. Now I'm cracking up. I'm calling it Shiksa Kosher-ish.

One of my pet peeves it that it's almost impossible to buy pillow cases in the US with an envelope closure, so you see the pillow showing in the opening of the case. I make all of our pillow cases to avoid the problem. (First world problems.)

I usually make mine but found this never used regular pillow case in my fabric stash so refitted it. I don't why everyone thinks the normal pillow cases are even remotely acceptable.
