The drapes are DONE! (Ok, so I still have to finish the matching pillow.) Done, pressed, folded and ready to be delivered to the client this evening. Normally I'm not quite so rushed to deadline, but I rather blew off yesterday. And considering the weather yesterday (lovely, bright, sunny) and today (cold, clammy, rainy) I can't say I'm sorry I did.

I didn't mean to blow off yesterday, but as they say, the road to h-e-double-toothpicks is paved with good intentions. I'd received a call telling me that an annual I have on standing order had come it, and the opportunity arose so off I went to get it. While I was there I also got this. Delia Sherman (along with Ellen Kushner) is among the handful of authors whose work I will buy IMMEDIATELY, no questions asked.)

Oh, and check out Sound & Spirit. Amazing stuff.

I also managed to pick up a few odds'n'sods I needed for a jewellry commission, and get the last few things I needed for the bpal bday swap, AND I got my new passport photos done. So all in all, a relatively productive day. Or so you would think. Y'see, I spent pretty much ALL DAY doing those few errands.

After leaving the bookshop, it being such a great day and I having a craving for fresh fish, I decided to walk to the market. Which is a fair hike, but at a meandering pace on a nice afternoon, not bad. However, in between where I was and where I was going lay the Garmet District. And there is nothing I love doing more than drooling over fabric. Unless it's drooling over all the fresh produce at the market. Yup, my vices are pretty simple, fabric and food. I was good though, and came home only with the food. (Books aren't a vice; they're a necessity of life.)
