jpegghost | I'm Mostly Proud Of The Chair

Finally back from the lake! It was nice having four days off instead of my usual two, and I plan on using it to the fullest. I don't think I have a lot to talk about but let's see ...

It was really nice hanging with friends. I brought all my art supplies to draw with, but I ended up spending most of the time crocheting. got into it on a whim after my friend's mom sent me a nice blanket, and I can't imagine how much of a labor of love this is. My fingers! But it's fun...
We all did a lot of nothing, which included drinking and video games and swimming in the lake. I don't drink much so I had maybe one drink but my friends were consistently fucked up.

I felt, in my bones, that I had to go to the antique store even if it was in bumfuck nowhere. And my bones was right, there were some great finds there but I ended up getting a beautiful rocking chair for 50 bucks. The rattan was all in good condition and the wood wasn't too damaged aside from decades of occasional knicks and scratches (nothing really noticeable). I wasn't sure if it could hold my weight (I'm about 150 lbs) but it sure can, and I rocked in it while watching Guns Akimbo last night (extremely stupid movie, unsure if I recommend).

Today I need to finish sewing my table runner, make a moss pole for Lurch (who is looming in the background of my chair pic), maybe crochet some granny squares as fall-ish potholders, and force myself to watercolor some flash I made.
