What's with the Weather?

Tuesday, February 03, 2009

The weather here has been really screwy - down to where one is wearing regular winter clothes and now up in the 80's -  Because I had the windows mostly closed during the cold - I am discovering that keeping the windows shut somehow keeps the residual cool in? At any rate, for all the outside temperature, it's cool in here.

Still wondering what to do for Valentine's Day (or V Day, as I call it).

Thought I would craft a homemade Valentine - but not feeling terribly inspired -altho there was a great idea on Martha Stewart's site...Even thought I was going to make a V Day wreath - but again - no inspiration!

We spent the wkend on the boat - and Fri. night we jammed with our buddy George at the Deer Lodge outside of Ojai.  Great fun! Been asked to sing a classical piece for the memorial service of my friend's cousin - have to practice this week to get ready. And back to my clarinet practice!

Hubby picked up a piece of laminated fiberboard from some discarded furniture on the street which he is using for extra desk space poised over the filing cabinets in the computer desk.  Said he learned about picking over street finds from me! I also found some 3/4 plywood pieces today - one I think I will save for the "loom" thing I saw on Threadbanger and try to make myself a belt or something....I wonder if one can weave with plastic??

Otherwise, sending in for freebies - I am looking for "junkets" - free events to go to - & will go to a salon reception nearby tomorrow - What to wear?  I think the "Michelle Obama" dress in a colorful rayon print - which I got in the sale box at Squaresville.  I even have a vintage brooch to wear with it!  So hard to figure out wardrobe for these hot winter days in S. Cal. - But rayon is a great fabric - so versatile!

There - I told you I didn't feel too inspired! Life goes on....
