Yay for giant hardware store order!
I spent a lot of time on it, but I finally got the huge order for the hardware store all figured out. I've already thought of a few things I forgot (hinges, cabinet handles, and handles for our chest), but I got all the heavy stuff sorted out. It is going to take them a while to get it all to us (early September), but at least it is done. It was sadly very expensive, but I bought a bunch of woodworking tools, so it isn't a shock that it was expensive. I felt a lot less stressed after that was done. Phew!
I've been doing a project of drawing one tarot card a day from the shuffled deck, looking up the meaning, and writing down my impressions. It has been interesting to see the themes in the cards: war, going through stressful times, needed to let go when you have finished going through stressful times, really really needing to take a break, celebrating having finished with a long stressful project and taking a break, etc. I honestly hadn't realized that there were so many tarot cards with the theme of "stop doing so much".
While it is a bit annoying that it will take at least a week for all the art supplies to show up and almost a month for the stuff from the hardware store, it is also kind of useful, in that it really forces me to focus on some of the projects that I've got the materials for here. I have sewing that I need to do (I made a list recently of what I _really_ needed to make), plus there are between two and four projects made of cardboard that I can work on. Those are just the ones that I can think of right now, so there are probably others. I certainly wouldn't mind getting some fabric for some tablecloths or figuring out the tapestry that we want to make.... Yeah, there are plenty of things for me to do.
