i'll never forget you as long as i live

song+ I Wish You Would -Taylor Swift -1989
book+ nothing presently
quest+ no idea really
upper+ it's been a good winter
downer+ still tragically broke
attire+ pajamas
drink+ milk


better late than never. i meant to post Sunday like normal, but i pulled myself away from the internet to get Christmas projects done, and it's been so nice, i'm still reluctant to fall back into it. so i'm on a self-imposed internet strike i guess.

i don't know for sure, but there's a chance my phone may get cut off this week for a while. if that happens i guess i'll make myself check e-mail and facebook.

you think you know me, but you're dead wrong

song+ Stronger -Kelly Clarkson -All I Ever Wanted
book+ nothing presently
quest+ several plushes
upper+ one ready for delivery
downer+ out of time for Christmas prep
attire+ comfy pants, hoodie and Tinkerbell tee
drink+ water


we got a lot done at mom's yesterday. Rose came along, and we worked on various little things all day, getting an impressive total done in the end. i spent most of this last week working on the Cubone plush, and it's done and will get delivered today, so that's cool. now i just need to bust out the ones i'm doing for the kidlets, that need to be delivered this Thursday. xD i'm sure i'll get them done in time. nine small things will probably somehow end up easier to get done than one big thing, because that's how things tend to work out for me.

it's a little strange to be heading up for game day again today because the last two weeks i didn't make it. i had choir practice and the concert, then i was shaking off an allergy something that left me feeling crappy. i'm great again though, so i'm sure i'll manage to get a lot done today. exciting optimistic thoughts. yay!

they are the hunters, we are the foxes, and we run

song+ I Know Places -Taylor Swift -1989
book+ nothing presently
quest+ several plushes
upper+ progress on numerous fronts
downer+ congestion is making breathing tricky
attire+ pajamas still
drink+ water


i think i'm hovering on the edge of something. i've been painfully congested for a little more than 12 hours now. i don't know if it's a reaction to weather things, or possibly the incense Kyu was burning when i got home last night. i just know breathing is a little difficult when i close my mouth. hopefully it passes soon.

i've made progress on various (mostly plush) projects this week, i'll likely head back upstairs and see how much of the Cubone i can get done today, since i'd like to deliver it soon. i meant to have it done sooner so i could deliver it today, but my machine is still giving me trouble.

anyway, the thing i really wanted to share this post was links to the last 6 songs from the Choir concert last week. these are links to audio-only youtube uploads of them. the first two haven't been shared yet, but 75% of the concert experience is available for those that couldn't make it. if the first two ever get uploaded i'll edit them in here, for now ya'll just get placeholder titles.

What Sweeter Music
Sure On This Shining Night
The First Noel
There Is Faint Music
Fall On Your Knees
How Great Our Joy
Sweetest Music, Softly Stealing
Festival Gloria

so yeah, that's pretty much all i've got to say, i'm gonna get back to sewing and hope my congestion clears up.

you are the reason that i still believe

song+ Jai Ho -Pussycat Dolls
book+ choir music
quest+ several plushes
upper+ another really good week
downer+ i've fallen slightly behind on plush production
attire+ pajamas still
drink+ water


i think this is the first morning post in quite some time (or at least midday) but i have the time for once. the last week was crazy-busy, so while a lot has happened, little of it has been crafting.

Tuesday i had the dentist, the mom and i window shopped until it was time to head up to TCC for Moose's dance recital, which was really good overall. Wednesday i was home again and made some headway on the plushes, but Thursday i had lunch with James followed by an extended choir practice. Friday i was home until mom picked me up to head to Tyson's party. Saturday was the quilt class then to mom's to work more on her house.

today i'm up, but not headed to game day because there's kinda no point. i have nothing complete to deliver, and i need to be home way early so i can leave on time for the last choir practice before the concert tonight. i'm about to run through my music solo, then see what i can get done with my afternoon before i have to get dressed and leave.
