Aug. 5th, 2001 01:21 amwoke up 3 hours later than i intended to, giving me 8 hours of sleep. oh, well. i left around 1.30 for alexandria, with all my sewing supplies in tow. on the way, i saw lightning. and then it poured. just like that, no sprinkling in between. it stopped once i got almost to alexandria. when i got to fmj (where they couldn't find my pants (which were behind the counter)), i discovered that there was an irish festival happening. sadly, i didn't go check it out. i did see some irish dancers practicing near the street, though.
it started raining (not pouring) on rt 1 south, too. got to vitha's, unloaded my stuff, and proceeded to accomplish things. my turban and sashes are now finished. i have the measurements for the turkish chemise. i have the hem ripped out of the gypsy chemise (i need to add 12 inches to the bottom) and the new fabric for it washed. i used that extra small piece of the lavender to cut all the cap sleeves and the sleeves for the lavender/gold yelek.
it doesn't sound like much when it's listed like that, but dammit, i was productive! i'm going back after work on Monday.
she fed us kielbasa and popcorn. and her husband, who is military, had some sort of thing outside today which gave him heatstroke, so he was rather unhappy most of the time we were there. shivering and other not good things.
theoretically, 66 was stopped completely at my exit. i took the centerville exit instead. very uneventful.
i forgot to bring the gold yelek. oh, well, i had plenty of other stuff to do.
and now, i'm eating the little spaghetti squash that i bought yesterday, with butter and parmesan.
