Weekend babble

vanillafluffy Wednesday was cleaning, Thursday was shopping, Friday was weaving, and today I rested. Or at least slept in. Then I did two loads of laundry and decluttered the bathroom, which looks better than it ever has, possibly, since I moved in. Just being able to see the top of the vanity helps. Have piddled around doing some writing, throwing a couple hundred words each onto a few WIPS. As with the house, any progress is better than no progress, right?
And I started Gudrun. To explain: I may have mentioned the IKEA throw I got as my next project for my Swedish weaving class. Its name in the IKEA catalog is Oddrun. Gudrun, in contrast, is a Norwegian name; my father had an Aunt Gudrun, one of his father's sisters, IIRC. So, since I'm not quite doing "proper" Swedish weaving, I've renamed theshroud throw in her honor. (Instead of the intricate zigzags of traditional Swedish patterns, I'm doing simple stripes. It suits my eyes and my temperament.)
I was planning to take this weekend easy, because it was quite a week, but getting something like eight consecutive hours of sleep (ordinarily, I'm doing good if I get more than six) worked wonders. Tomorrow's going to be a day of rest, really it is. I have snacks and things for The Big Game (although I'm one of those weirdos who's mostly in it for the commercials) not that I have any skin in the game this year. As long as it's a good game--the only time I ever cheered a runaway game was when it was the Bucs....
And that's what's been going on with me. Love to all!
