Yesterday I tried the ham-hot method for the waistband but didn’t like how
bulky it made the seam allowances, so I undid it and used my more-typical
waistband method. The waistband is knit, so I stretched to fit against 1/8
markers along one edge, and I’m hand-sewing the other edge down with a sort
of slip-stitch/whip-stitch hybrid. Finished up Glass Magician and started
Master Magician.

Then, the big furniture day! We moved the futon frame from the living room
up to the nest, moved the mattress already in there out of the way,
vacuumed again (mice 😬), reassembled the frame, installed the mattress to
test the fit, and indeed, it is pleasing. Vacuumed the living room,
stripped the old mattress, rolled it up, tied it tightly, out to the curb.
The old cover was ripped and filthy, so, trash. Puzzled out assembly of the
new couch, which took ages and a pair of sewing snips to uncover one of the
bolt holes. Installed cushions. Also pleasing. Lunch, crossword.

Spent the rest of the day on nest laundry (three loads and counting),
normal laundry (two) and hand-sewing. My hamstrings are pretty upset with
me, but I’ll live.

Dinner, Monday crossword, Heart.

Dreamt my sister and my childhood friend J co-owned a drag bar that was
doing a fundraiser with upscale girl scout cookies. Also J’s parents were
trying to disown her, and there was deer hunting?
