armillary I had a somewhat productive sunday and didn't have a nervous breakdown caused by Extremely Clinging and Whiny Toddler. He came over to keep me company, se won his braies and watch Black Adder, the medieval episodes together. Maja was happy and could amuse herself a little in the beginning of the day and also slept for 1 hour, so I actually managed to sew on my garter belt (Yes, I know you can buy good garter belts, but I thought about how much cheaper it would be to make one). I cut the top fabric yesterday and tried it in this morning, so when he came I started cutting the lining. I then sewed a little while watching telly and thanks to Björn entertaining Maja with Lego for half an hour I also managed to finish it. It looks nice. Well not on me, because my body doesn't look nice in so little clothes, but by itself. It also works well, which is more important. I used metal clips so I can attach thicker socks too. With some difficulty, but still. It's made from the lovely pink cotton/silk satin guyelfkin found and I bought six metres of.
So, some sewing done, and I still have some sanity points left. I am very tired though, which is a problem since I need to work a lot until the middle of february or so. The weekend is supposed to be a time to rest and gather strength, but since Rickard has to work every other weekend it isn't so. Especially since he was away his latest free weekend, so I have been alone with Maja from 7-8 am to 7 pm the three latest weekend. Last weekend even more of course and also yesterday, since he was out with his work mates. I am already behind my schedule and I'm seriously worried about being burnt out and not finish anything. Stress makes the arthritis worse too.
But, there's nothing to do except surviving.
Anyway, since I now have a garter belt that will keep my striped thigh highs up whatever I do I have a tough choice to make: Pink and natural striped thigh highs or navy tights and pink striped fuzzy knee highs tomorrow. I'm leaning towards the fuzzy, because they're so silly and will match my pink chenille arm warmers nicely.
