    Last night was my first night of freedom from the show.  Did I kick back and relax, vegging in front of the TV?  Ha!  What a silly concept!  I busted ass on a few projects I've been needing to get to work on. 
    As soon as I got home, I scattered grass seed over the bare sections of the property in hopes of stopping some of the nasty soil erosion we've got going on.  For some unknown reason, where the grass isn't high as my head, there's no grass at all. 
    Then I re-potted a particularly prickly house plant, that was in dire need of some fresh space. 
    After I swept the dirt and dead leaves, from that adventure, off the porch, I dug out Tommy's and my pirate hats and went after them with the suede restore.  This proved to be a particularly obnoxious chore, as I had to tape off all the trim before hitting them with the spray.  I like the pretty blue on my hat, and I have no desire to see it turn black! 
    Tommy had just finished dinner at that point, so I took a break to eat and we watched a TiVo'd episode of Firefly.  Damn that's a good show!  Why didn't I have the time to watch it when it was actually on!?
    After dinner I hied myself off to the studio to iron Lindsay's fabric and cut out the pieces for her chemise.
    I thought about ironing my own fabric, but decided that since Tommy and I are going fabric shopping tonight for date night that I'd be better off reading our patterns so nothing sneaks up on me that could have been fixed in the fabric buying stage!  It's ambitious, but I have firm plans to have Lindsay's shirt, my shirt and both coats constructed (though probably not trimmed and decorated) by the time we leave for Disney in 12 days.  Yup, I am so back to sewing, with a vengeance!
    Speaking of sewing, I am the worst person in the world about buying thread.  Either I think I have the right color at home, and don't, or I buy a spool, only to find I already have three at home!  So I got clever today.  I took a picture of my thread, so I'll know exactly what I have and what I need when I get to the store!

    And, of course, today's progression of spring picture.  Those leaves are popping out like mad!  In a few days I'll probably lose my silhouette style since the leaves will be thcik enough to block the light from the sky!
