That is the ultimate question, isn’t it? Well, let’s see… I spent most of last week fighting headaches and migraines, so I barely stitched. In the meantime, I received a package in the mail that is an unscheduled round robin piece that I need to turn around within a week, if possible. I started that this weekend and then focused most of my time on Catherine-Michele’s round robin piece. My travel piece is my gift for the Robin’s Net Scissors Fob Exchange. I am working on painting some more scissors, as well. Add to that the usual catch-up on dishes and laundry and you pretty much have my week and weekend.<\/p>\n

Predictably, with the colder weather setting in, our furnace decided to die on Saturday. That means we’ve been without heat for more than two days now. I think it’s being dramatic because it knows that we’re having a geothermal system installed in a couple of weeks. \ud83d\ude09 Fortunately, we have a gas fireplace to keep the downstairs warm and a small electric heater for the bathroom in the morning. We went in to work today, hoping to escape the chill in the house, only to find that the heat is not working in our office. I am not in the least bit surprised since we had weeks of problems with the air conditioning in the dead of summer. I predicted back then that we would have problems when it came time to turn on the heat. People were sitting around all day today in coats and sweaters. It’s more comfortable in our house than it is at work! Plus, they screwed up and accidentally locked us out of our office area today. The door could only be opened from the inside, as none of our access cards seemed to unlock the door.<\/p>\n

On the furnace front, we met with the geothermal installer and the driller this afternoon and have an approximate installation date of November 1st and 2nd. In the meantime, the current system is still under warranty, so Terry looked up the original installer’s information and tried to call them, but the number is out of service. He called and left a message with the customer service person from the builder, but we haven’t heard back yet. Can you tell it’s Monday? \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n

And now, some photos that you’ve been asking for. I put the scissors on the scanner, but the picture isn’t so great. You just can’t capture this paint very well digitally and I’m feeling lazy. The two color-changing pairs are going out, so perhaps the recipients will take better pictures. \ud83d\ude00

\nThe longest pair at the top left were painted using leftovers of the paint used to touch up my Grand Am. I’m keeping them, so they will be a reminder of my first car, now that it belongs to my sister. \ud83d\ude42
\nThe tiny pair on the top right were painted using red-gold color shifting paint. The pair at the bottom were painted using green-purple color shifting paint.<\/p>\n

Here are some long overdue CATS pictures, partially to show the previous length of my hair. \ud83d\ude09 Sorry the photo of me and Cathy is in black and white, but the white balance on Terry’s camera was off, so the photo turned out blue. Grayscale was the best I could do, since I have been unable to fix the colors to my satisfaction in Photoshop:

And last, but not least, a picture of me and my new hair-do. It still isn’t behaving for me yet, but I tried styling it curly yesterday and it turned out reasonably cute, so I had Terry snap a photo of me, sweats, no makeup and all:
