Mending

This doesn't really count, but if I wait for a real project it'll be weeks before you get an update.

To procrastinate working on my novel last weekend I did some mending that's needed to be done. The first was my Gryffindor robe - during the release of Deathly Hallows in July one half of the clasp came off. It should have been an easy fix, but I ran into a small complication when I found a rather large spider nest on the inner lining.

Luckily it came off with some vaccuuming (which Gracie Cat did not appreciate it) but I did check the rest of the robe just in case there were more. Damn spiders.

After that it wasn't too hard. Just pinned the clasp in place and hand sewed it back on.

And then it was done. Huzzah! And since I had the sewing stuff out, Andrew asked me to put the patches on his Kung Fu uniform too. Anything to not write. :D

I still have a set of opera gloves and a blouse to mend as well, but I haven't gotten there yet.

I did get my pictures for the wedding scrapbook in the mail yesterday, so hopefully I'll get to Michaels this weekend and I can get started on that as well. I still need to order the honeymoon pictures for that scrapbook.
