Becky left for her missions trip to Panama this morning. Actually, its was church that I took her to; she didn't leave for Panama until later this afternoon. I figured that since I was up anyway, I might as well do something productive. That didn't go quite as planned. Most of my day has been spent not doing anything until about 4-ish when I realized I should probably eat something. Since I had already wasted a significant chunk of the day, I decided to write the rest of it off as well: I started brewing coffee… LOTS of coffee.

Having tried using coffee for the purposes of dying cotton fabric in the past (I think it is technically staining, but we’re not here to argue semantics, and it was with my dice bag a few years back) I thought I should give it a go with denim (I’m using denim since it has been the fabric which yielded the best results for kilts, and I’m staining for a worn look and I was unable to purchase denim in the desired color). With that, phase two of kilt number 4 is officially under way (phase one having been bleaching said denim). Still a bit unsure if it'll be a contemporary or traditional apron, or even if I'll try a knife pleat or stick with the tried and true box pleats. I figure the hard part was actually getting up off my ass and starting the project, now I should have about a week of coffee stain time to decide the finer points and details.

Much regard to all as I retire to watch Watchmen with the Caoilainn pup.
