CW 7 – In Review
Ryn’s Review of Calendar Week 7, looking back at the things going in the brain and out the hands.

Today I learned that you can have an ebook library on Audiobookshelf.
I also learned that I needed to do a bit of finagling with the service I use to run Audiobookshelf but I got it working and I'm excited to have web access to my library. It will ease travel-book selection anxiety, I think.
It also means that I have a cloud backup for my ebook library.

I am now at the point where I need to stop shopping for fabric (but the deals! So good!) and start sewing, lest this become the same situation as my yarn collection vs knitting hobby.
To that end, I'm going to go through all my fabric, separate them into planned projects and not, pin the name of the planned project on the fabric and then put it away.
I am very excited to make my own ski pants for this winter, though. I love bibbed pants and they never work out quite like I need. I will need to get the waterproof outer, though.

Our rain forecast has evaporated, so now I'm planning out my yard and workshop based activities for next week.
I need to measure and cut out the window screens (I love living in Europe. It's great. I gotta have my window screens, though. I do not love yellowjackets in my house), I need to lay the 320 litres of bark onto the flat area that's been cleared from nettles, and I need to mow the area near the kitchen so I can put up the rotary airer now that it looks like Summer might be upon us.
Sunday, being a no-power-tools day will likely be me gathering and moving tree limbs that I've been collecting since we moved in. (They're being kept for Hügelkultur raised beds that are on the winter build list.)

We have had a few days of rain here and I hate rain pants. But I also hate getting wet.
Enter the idea for a rain skirt (or, as I found it was called in the ultralight community - rain kilt). so I'm working out how I'd want to make that work as something that's able to work over all thicknesses of clothing, and then I had the idea of a removable quilted liner for winter.
I love how quickly I've gone from "I'm sewing from a pattern and I'm terrified I'm going to mess it up" to "I have a niche desire and I will make it happen."

The fabric to make myself some insulin pump holders should arrive today and the patterns I sent out to be printed on A0 should arrive tomorrow. If all goes well, I should have a working muslin of the first few projects by next weekend.
W10 and W11 plans are:
Pattern cutting, organising small things, working on the shed/workshop organisation and clear out.
