loomy loom-- the saga continues

So I said I was going to make a rug to work out the kinks in my loom. WHY THE FUCK DOES IT NOT HAVE A LOCKING MECHANISM AND NOW I HAVE THIS WARP STRETCHED AND AM USING A HAIR TIE TO FREAKIN' HOLD IT IN TENSION!?!?! This totally sucks. Ahhh!!! Enough with that I will figure it out in the morning (ugh so tired).

Other thing (not so disastrous thing) I did today was to begin refinishing the beauteous solid wood oak desk I found at a yard sale for $20. Yay. It's a 1940's writing desk, needs to be completely sanded down and re-oiled, and the drawers need new bottoms cut and fitted and glued, but other than that... And, lucky for me, none of that is a problem at all. I want to get this done before returning to MICA (my intent is for it to be my sewing desk when I'm home from school, and eventually it will travel with me to a more permanent residence somewhere).

Last day of internship tomorrow = Bed now.
