Daily blogs, eh?

It seems silly to sit down to blog daily when there really isn't that much to say. Perhaps I should consider it like twitter and if I only have one sentence to say, then write one sentence.

I had a busy week.

Monday I had to stay late at work to witness a document which in the end the clients didn't sign.

Tuesday, Johanna met me after work and we went to the shul to measure the chuppah frame. It is huge! 95" square. I discussed with Johanna the idea of making a central panel for the chuppah which can be attached to something sheer, organza-like for the wedding and then detached afterwards for use as a wall hanging. She brought me a magazine photo of colours she likes -- blues, very rich. I'll have to think about that one. Then in the evening, I had my YHQG meeting. I debated whether or not to go and in the end went because the speaker was a well-known beader. Unfortunately, most of her presentation was slides which don't do justice to the beading. And turn off the lights and I'm out like a light.

Wednesday, I had lunch with one of the lawyers from the office who I helped out when his secretary was on vacation. We went to the Novotel restaurant (new restaurant, not bad but don't know if I need to go again) and then I took him up to see my exhibit. I think he was duly impressed. Wednesday evening was the POM meeting which was a hands on Pesach pillow making affair. Unfortunately, at that hour I am usually brain-dead and not ready to start being creative. I brought the fixin's home. Maybe I'll make it some day... I did hand in my mezuzah for the exhibit, so that's another project completed.

Thursday, I didn't have to go out after work so I worked on cutting out the letters for Stephen & Di's chuppah. I had to send Menachem to buy some more tartan as there wasn't enough. Friday, I took Roz to the exhibit. After work, Menachem picked me up and we went to Fortino's to buy carp for the Pesach gefilte fish. Then a short visit with my mother and back home to continue on the letters. Yesterday, I finished the letters. Now I have tartan rectangles with white dupionni silk pinned on my design wall and it doesn't seem to be calling to me yet.

Today I am, so far, doing nothing. I think I will go shortly to my studio and stare at the design wall. Maybe move the rectangle around a bit. There are very strong horizontal lines and I'm thinking of countering with vertical elements.

Inbal is planning to use cloth diapers which cost a fortune. I hope to minimize the cost my making them myself. But there's so much information out there and I'm not sure yet which pattern to use. Fortunately, there's a diaper fabric store in Markham and a members' sale at Fabricland next weekend 50% off. Guess where I'm going...
