Every year at our company’s Winter Celebration, we have a silent auction for charity, for which people donate handmade items, particularly knitted items and ceramics. Every year I spend way too much time worrying about what I’ll donate, what yarn to use, what pattern, etc. This year is of course a knitted handbag. My boss adores the fuzzy blue one, so that’s what I’ll donate.
But this year, I couldn’t find anything on our intranet about the deadline for donations. I finally gave up today and emailed the charity committee–a mere six days before the party, because I’m a procrastinating idiot. They’re setting up the preview tables tomorrow morning, so I have to hand over my donation first thing.
Gah! Start the panic! It still needs a clasp! (Which I don’t have!) And a shiny button! (Which I may or may not have!) And worse, the Aura, while awesome and shiny and super-cool on the outside, makes the inside equally fuzzy, so really, it *should* be lined. But I’ve never lined anything in my life, and I don’t think tonight, after I’ve (hopefully) survived the holiday crowds at Jo-Ann’s, is the perfect time to learn.
I have until 8:30 tomorrow morning to figure this all out. Holy crap, what was I thinking?!
