Off to Brunch soonish, I think.

Hoping that BastDanica will be there so we can chat about the Schola.

I am really, *really* glad that tomorrow is a holiday. I need a longer weekend 'cause I'm still rather sore.

I finished Part 22 of "Live Truly, My Heart". I'll have to go back and tweak it some more, I suspect, but at least I know what happens now. :-) (I'm a bit worried that it's going to turn out to be boring... I hope not, though. :-)

Anyway. Time to get dressed. :-)

Alice Bags and Other Oddities

Spreading the word: There's a new community about Feminism and Gender in Fandom.

Have fun! :-D


In other news: Paul's Aikido Equipment Bag is... coming along nicely, if I do say so myself. (My left hand rather hurts from the repetitive motion, but otherwise we're doing okay. ;-) I need to sew the sides up, and add the draw-string thing (which will be a few inches thick, not counting the track, and made of former-boot-upper vinyl).

It is about 5.5' long, and 3"+ wide. The bottom is padded and reinforced with plastic mesh. It's also got a vinyl covering made out of former-boot-upper.

I have to make the strap - which may or may not end up padded. I'm not sure yet.
I may or may not stitch his name onto it in a contrasting colour. We shall see how ambitious I am feeling. ;-)


As far as my tote bag goes: Bag is done. Straps are very-much still in progress. *Will* be padding them, because I know how much junk I tend to carry around. :-)
I'm thinking of making chess queens (one red/burgundy, and one silver) out of scraps of velour and applique-ing (Spelling? What spelling?) them to the lower right-hand corner of the bag.
We'll see if I go through with it.

(I have this small, developing idea to do a series of Alice-in-Wonderland themed bags. Possibly handing them around as gifts to various relatives and what-not. This will, at least in part, depend on how this one turns out. :-)


So, yeah. I'm feeling sewingly creative. :-) Hurrah! :-D

Let's Play 'Ask The Internets'!

Hey, people who are employed by the Canadian government!

What is a "PRI" number, and how do I know if I have one? (And, if I do, how do I find out what it is?)

Your ASAP assistance is appreciated. :-D


In other, related news: I just gave the Office Skills practice test a whirl. I did... pretty good. Only got 60% on the math (big surprise), but the rest went just fine. :-) Hurrah. (I am once more feeling totally confident about this up-coming test). :-)
