Couple of finished objects, recently.
First, the Aveena sweater. I'm happy with how it turned out except for the tiny botched stitch halfway down the right hand sleeve (your left).
Second, my mosaic table top. In which I managed to repurpose some of the left over tiles, from the bathroom wall tiles that I rejected. It's funny, the colors looked so puegy up on the bathroom wall, but I think they look pretty on this table top. I'm not completely satisfied with the grout. I just smoothed it with my hands. It probably would have been better if I had an actual leveling tool, and a sturdier sponge.
But all in all I'm happy and maybe I'll even end up doing a mosaic on the bottom tray of the coffee table, too.
Not Crafts
I went with two of my besties to see Robyn Hitchcock last night. I first got to like him when a long ago boyfriend introduced me to Fegmania and Gotta Let This Hen Out.
He also was in a band called the Soft Boys that had some distinctive sounding songs, and last night he
did the Soft Boys song "I Wanna Destroy You". It was quite scathing indeed.
I think my favorite tune of the evening was "I'm Only You", both for the lyrics and the very pretty guitar. He did a very trippy guitar solo at the end of the song, enhanced by something special that he directed the sound board guy to use. "After I count down 5-4-3-2-1, pull out the BIG ONE Eric".
There's a long spoken part at the beginning of about a minute and a half that you can skip, but it's worth listening to.
Said I'm a willow bending in your mind
I'm a mirror cracked from side to side
I'm a snow-covered mountain
In an empty room
I'm a house that burns down
Every night for you
Said I'm a doorway leading to the dark
I'm a liquid you're dissolving in
I'm a policeman working
In an empty house
I'm a distant steeple
On a long-deserted plain
Sometimes when I'm lonely,
Baby, then I'm only you
Said I'm a pattern on a china bowl
I'm a memory engraved upon your soul
I'm a prison cell without a door
I'm a finger drawing
On a frosty window pane
Sometimes when I'm lonely,
Baby, then I'm only you
Sometimes when I'm lonely,
Baby, then I'm only you

I just love your sweater. It is so beautiful!!
Thanks Pony. ❤️
Well done 👍
Great sweater. I wouldn't have noticed the botched stitch on your sweater if you hadn't pointed it out.
We perfectionists have to point out our mistakes.
@smartasswoman I was going to say it is not noticeable.
Religious metaphors about carcasses are a wonderful way to silence a crowd.
Glad to hear you had a good time. 👍
(That missed stitch is invisible if you keep your elbow bent.)
You're probably my only reader to actually listen to that monologue! Thanks for humoring me.
Wait, I know I read this elsewhere...because I remember saying I didn't see the stitch and I remember that sweater, and this is dated May third, but it's being released again? Did you do that?
I did post an explanatory comment but I guess it hasn't been approved. Or maybe wasn't approved when you saw this post.
Let me know if you can see it at the bottom of the comments?
@smartasswoman I responded elsewhere, but I'll keep checking in to see if it's here
Very impressive
Are my eyes deceiving me? Are the site gremlins up to their shenanigans? Isn’t this a duplicate of a post from about a week ago 🤔?
Good catch sexyldy. I posted an explanatory comment right away but maybe it hadn't been approved yet when you saw this.
This, the first iteration of the post was denied three times. I posted on Site Support blog and I left the denied post sitting out there so they'd be able to see the history of who denied it. The next day I submitted a replacement post that did get approved...so now there are duplicates.
That's a lovely sweater
It is interesting how the tiles that didn't look so great on the wall worked fine with the tabletop.
I know right? Maybe a matter of scale...the wall was just too much.
You seem to be very talented. The sweater looks great!!
Thank you. 😊
You’re not seeing things, I did already post about this two weeks ago. This original post was denied three times. I did a replacement post the next day that did get approved.
I left this one sitting out there unapproved because I had reported it to Site support and wanted them to be able to see who had denied it. They got around to looking at it today.
