the cold that ate my weekend, sort of

saffronhareSeriously miserable with a cold here, though I'm sure I'm being a bit of a princess about it. It's just so rare to come down with a cold when I have the luxury of slacking off, you know? So I am slacking like a mofo today.
Thankfully, the really rotten stage didn't hit until last night's sleepover party was underway. Cupcakes had been frosted earlier in the day, and set-up was accomplished with a couple of hours to spare. After that, it was pretty much "plug and play" with very helpful helpers. Fantastic to sleep in while![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
diermuid made pancakes for breakfast. I've been letting myself be a zombie ever since. Haven't even bothered getting dressed. It's good. In another hour or two, I'll take a dose of Nyquil and SLEEP. Tomorrow should be a bit better, so off to work I'll go.
I did, however, manage to get two more polar fleece hats made this afternoon, so that's three kids with their "buddy gifts" complete. Still kind of experimenting with different shapes and sizes for the hats, but they're all nice enough to give away, which is great. That's SIX polar fleece hats constructed entirely of fabric from my stash. No more polar fleece, though. We'll have to pick up another yard or two during the week to finish up what the other three kids want.
The color balance is kind of strange. They *should* be bright pink, lime green, and powder blue. It took less than an hour. Straight-line sewing, very little measuring. AWESOME. The ones I made for the boys' buddy gifts today are dark red.
I'd planned to make batch #3 of Christmas cookies this weekend, but baking for other people just didn't seem like a very friendly thing to do. I sure hope the refrigerated sugar cookie dough will last another couple of days.
