Oct. 23rd, 2011 04:57 pmGlue update: My glue that that claims to be 'idea for glueing'... didn't glue what I wanted it to glue. False advertising.
Having failed with that, I went out to the garage and rummaged around in the old paint tin where I keep nails and such, and found my tube of superglue. Only that's not going to stick anything either, since it has dried solid.
So I went and bought a new tube of superglue and thus succeeded in sticking together what I wanted to stick together, as well as two fingers, and a tissue to a newspaper. So that glue was definitely ideal for glueing, but given that I think I also glued the lid to the tube, it won't be ideal for glueing things any more.
The reason for all the glue is that I decided that, since I didn't do anything constructive all week, I would use this weekend to finish off a variety of small projects that have been hanging about: the owl on Thursday evening, a felt case for my iPod on Friday, a little purse to keep in the glove box with change for the parking meter on Saturday. Today I am supposed to finish knitting a dishcloth I started so I could use up some odds and ends of cotton, but I am finding it hard to get enthused about dishcloths. They're a bit dull after all the glue excitement.
I have been thinking about what I will do next year, once my photo a day project is finished. Perhaps I could make a thing a week. It would have to be a small thing, obviously. I'll have to give it some more thought.
Day 289. I wasn't going to buy another book until I finished all the ones on the shelf, and yet I seem to have acquired this today, Day 290. New box of matches, Day 291. Oops, Day 292. My sole, Day 293. Owl box, Day 293a. Beetle, Day 294. Whale, Day 294a. Fish and chips and whale, Day 295. iPod case
