Spent the morning re-doing a keyboard gig I thought I’d finished. Went for one last pass before sending it to the customer, and found myself looking at a completely corrupted text document I couldn’t read at all. I don’t think that has happened to me since sometime in the early nineties.
Got that done and sent off, then booted up a movie on the ‘pooter and broke out the sewing kit.
*sigh* This is my new/old canvas coat, which I’ve only had for three years. And lately it’s been springing holes like that was its job. I’ve gotten a lot of wear out of it, but it won’t be long before it’s more patches than canvas. Next year I want to save my shekels and get an honest-to-god Carhartt coat. I’ve never actually owned one.
Having finished that, I felt emboldened to make something I’ve wanted ever since I learned how hard it is to clean the dust off the AK’s new optic…
Not exactly haute couture, but it should end that problem.
Have you sewed a cozy for your rifle today? It needs love too, y’know. 🙂
I have been known to cut the toe section off the end of a sock to serve the same purpose. Yours looks much better.
With Claire in knitting mode, I’ll bet she would have knitted you a nice cozy. Yours looks adequate for the job, but a knitted done would have panache.
What coat size are you and where do you receive mail?
Either medium or large, depending on the coat. I’m kind of on the edge.
For my maildrop addy, send me an email at the email address you’ll find on the Send Joel Stuff page, the link for which is at the top of this page.
Is joel(at)joelsgulch(dot)com still your email address? If so, go check it. If not, what is? I may have a jacket for you if it fits.
