Miscellaneous stuff

I have been looking at the first pattern I need to do for my Tatters Across Time Apprentice test.  It calls for size 10 thread, and I don't normally have size 10.  But I had recently acquired some pink size 10 crochet thread (Aunt Lydia's), and I found a similar toned blue thread from the same vendor.

I'm just playing with this.  The thread is awfully soft and fuzzy.  I'll have to practice to get the tension right.

A few other things....

My fig tree is going like gangbusters.  It's at least 12 feet tall.  Last year, the chickens roosted in it and ate a lot of the figs.  This year I need to harvest the figs and do something with them, as the chickens are gone.  Any suggestions?

Thursday I have to move my office to another building, back to where I used to be.  The weird thing is they want me to move back to the building I'm in now (but on a different floor) in a month.  Seems like a waste of time and money.  I think my final cube will be horribly tiny - about four feet on a side.  Really.  The rumor is that the department is planning to put 168 people in cubes on half of a small floor.  And how is that possible?  My answer - they'll double deck the cubes and hire dwarfs.  I wouldn't put it past my company.

Nerd humor.

I got a new catalog for this place and was reminded of prior orders I've made.  Each of the Stooges has one of these, and sometimes I hear them screaming in flight.  It's pretty funny.



I finally got a decent picture of Curly in his cap and gown.  They dried out just fine.  The cap's corners are a little floppy, but it's good enough.  I couldn't get a picture of him clean shaven though.  Mr. Fuzzy Face the Graduate.
