Jan. 10th, 2008 11:19 pmAnd the wedding present is finished! Crossstitching, backstitching, beading, accent and all! It is done. And of course, Walrus Gallery was closed for their summer break when I got there. They're open again next week, so I guess it'll be Tuesday before I can take it in.
I'm still not entirely pleased with it - I ended up backstitching the bride's dress in the light pink varigated silk that I used for the ruffle on the bridesmaid's dresses (I first used it on my sister's wedding sampler), but I can't come up with a better idea, so unless I do before Tuesday, I guess it stays. I should sign it, too. Doing the champagne bubbles in beads was absolutely the right decision - it looks fantastic. The rest of the beading also looks good, but I'm particularly pleased with that part.
It is my last day at Baldwins tomorrow. It seems quite strange. I started there 3 July 2006, which feels both a very short and very long time ago. I will need to compose a farewell email at some point during the day. I don't think I've sent out an 'all staff' email before. I'm taking a couple of bags to work to take stuff home in, but I imagine there'll be more stuff than I expect. There always is.
I'm currently working out whether timing will work for me to come to practice on Saturday. I have something in town at 1.00pm, which means a 12.30 bus at the latest, allow me at least half an hour to get changed, preferably more, a fifteen minute or so walk home... managable, I think. Just. We'll see.
And wonderfully, I start at SG on Tuesday, so I have Monday to sleep in and linger in bed and laze around the house doing nothing, which sounds like a really good thing right now. I should go to bed.
