Da Weekend
We have no commitments for the weekend, so we're Getting Things Done. ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
shalmestere has her own list, largely either laundry or dollhouse-furniture, but here's mine.
Progress has been slow so far: I think my vaccinations yesterday (COVID and flu) left me getting tired more quickly than usual. But I've washed, damp-dried, ironed, and measured a couple of pieces of tent canvas, and am about to cut them into trapezoids. This requires a large area of unobstructed floor, which means the kitchen, which means I had to vacuum the kitchen floor first. Marking straight lines c. 7 feet long on fabric presents some challenges: I think the most reliable way is to use the chalk-line we bought years ago for laying floor tile. The chalk-line tends to shed a lot of chalk as it's pulled out, so (not wanting spurious chalk lines on the fabric) I pulled it out over the sink, so now the sink is full of blue tailor's chalk.
