Since the car is in the shop today, I planned to spend the day beading the bubble machine, and also varnish the mah jongg tiles that are going to go on the hood. Went to get started just now, and realized that because it rained yesterday, we put away all the decorating supplies. In the trunk of my car. Which is at the shop. Argh!
It's not a total disaster. I still have plenty of beads because the box from Oriental Trading was too big to pack in the trunk. And I found the caulk gun on the porch, with a half-full tube of caulk in it. I can use that to bead the bubble machine. I don't normally like to use caulk with the beading because it turns grey and nasty as it ages, shows dirt more than the glue. But the bubble machine gets very little wear, it's only on the car during events. So I think it will be OK. My work scissors are in the trunk, but I can sacrifice another pair. (They get all gluey so I like to use the same pair, rather than ruining every pair of scissors in the house.)
So the day won't be totally wasted. I'll have to wait on the tiles until tonight, but at least I can work on the bubble machine today. I'm just annoyed at myself for planning so poorly.
