Well...I didn't get any sewing done last night. :( Instead, I was up until 2am working on a ceramic trivet order! Ugh. I got an order for 5 trivets with the VA Tech Hokie on them - a bird that's sort of a cross between an eagle & a turkey. I had them almost all the way painted (3 colors, each one must be done with 3 coats) when, on coat #2, I realized I was painting red where it should be WHITE! ARGH!!!! Before it's fired, it can be washed off, but it's hard to do without removing some of the other paint too. I ended up having to completely repaint 2 of them, the other 3 only had to do parts. But I will have to now paint the white part, where normally you just leave it unpainted, just in case the red left a bit of a shadow. Of course, I didn't think about bringing white home with me from the shop.... With luck I'll be able to do the white after work today, finish the outlining & still make it to my Guild's Christmas party on time tonight! But no sewing until tomorrow I guess.
