Another pair of leggings from a skirt

Thursday

I got up at 7:30. I got ready for the day and read some e-mail. Then I went to the chapel for Bible Study. I discovered that my glasses are not in my purse where they are supposed to be. We finished the book of Matthew. Keli paid me for the alterations I did.

When I got home, hearing the gopher stakes in the back seat bleeting and wondering what to do with them, I decided to sew. I had gotten another skirt from the swap shop, same size as the last one. I made a paper pattern from a pair of leggings. I laid out the skirt as best I could. My sewing table is covered with stuff so not much room. The pattern was the same length as the skirt so once I cut out the pieces and sewed them together, I already had the hems and waistband. It was a little tight though. I used the serger to join the pieces.

I went to make breakfast and watch The Highwire. Chris came home for lunch, then went back to work. I brought the pan of gopher heads in and put them on the stove to boil some more. After The Highwire I went back to put finishing touches on the pants. I tried them on, then took them off to work on the waistband. I had to keep checking on the heads and adding more water. Around 5:15 I put them outside.

I watched some videos, including a stand-up comic. That's when Chris came home with his pizza. I guess he didn't smell the gopher heads. He ate pizza and a cabbage salad. I heated some soup. I tried on the pants again and looked up ways to take some tension out of the elastic.

The online practitioner sent me a video outlining recommendations he is making. I started watching that and making a list of comments. I took a break to post for Math Morning. I tried to add a smiley face, but instead it said "Fern Damour is feeling <smiley face> happy." I could not get rid of it, even by exiting the post and trying again. So I went with it. Then Michelle started texting me.

After posting, I worked on my blog. I made tea and was ready to watch TV, but Chris was asleep on the couch. I guess he wasn't feeling well. So I went back to reading. But when it got late, I practiced my trombone and went to bed.
