Was there ever any doubt I’d get this done in time for Easter? \u00a0(Well, there was here<\/em>, haha.)<\/p>\n

Anyhow you can see, in spite of the fact that it’s been a rough few days (more on that later) since last Wednesday, I am nearly done with my green jacket.\u00a0I just have to finish the hems and add buttons.<\/p>\n

\"2012-03-28-woyww-finishing-up-a-jacket-and-altering-another_0\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was quite time consuming because I carefully followed the directions in the pattern (review to follow soon) to try and achieve a really nice fit. \u00a0The thing that took loads of time was transferring all my changes to the pattern pieces. \u00a0However, now I have a complete jacket pattern that I can turn to time and again to with assured good results.<\/p>\n

Actually, that purple jacket on the table is one I got at Salvation Army for $3.50. \u00a0It seems worth the time to take it apart along the princess seams and alter it, using the newly adjusted pattern pieces. \u00a0So the payoff will be sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

As far as the rotten week…<\/p>\n

My 37 year old nephew passed away on Friday after a long battle with cancer. \u00a0I feel so bad for his mom (my dh’s sister) – no parent should have to bury their child.<\/p>\n

On Friday morning, while scrubbing off after a shower, I felt and heard a small *snap* in the middle finger of my right hand. \u00a0When I looked at my hand, this was what it looked like. \u00a0(Try making your finger do that. \u00a0It won’t, unless you hold it down.)<\/p>\n

\"hammer-finger\"<\/p>\n

The tip is all floppy because I managed to snap the tendon. \u00a0So. Very. Weird.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t hurt at all, but has to remain splinted for 6-8 weeks so the tendon can heal. \u00a0Most\u00a0inconvenient, but there are many worse things in life and I can deal. \u00a0In fact, that’s what the washi tape is for (middle right of the desktop photo.) \u00a0This is how I have it splinted.<\/p>\n

\"2012-03-28-woyww-finishing-up-a-jacket-and-altering-another-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yup, washi tape and a popsicle stick. \u00a0Betcha didn’t know scrapbooking supplies were so useful!<\/p>\n

So, that’s where I’m at. \u00a0Sorry to sound cranky. \u00a0I know there is always LOTS to be thankful for and I promise to be\u00a0sun-shinier\u00a0later on in the week.<\/p>\n

To see what’s happening on the desks of many other crafty and creative people, go to What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday<\/a>. \u00a0Cuz it’s Wednesday and that’s what we do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
