Are you sick of my hand spinning blah, blah, blah yet? The thing is I haven’t really been doing much else, I’ve been working during the day and then it’s just so relaxing to just spin in the evening. I am going to be out this weekend doing fun girlie stuff so hopefully I’ll bring …

How do you do that?
I have a bunch of emails to answer, so if some are yours sorry! One of the emails I got was a request to go over how you spin yarn. Sure! Now just remember I’m no expert, I’ve taken a few lessons, but I still feel like I only know the basics. So basically you …
Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival
Today I went to the Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival. I totally stocked up on Fiber (huge shock I know). I updated my Flickr with all of it so check it out if you like. My favorite:I’m really interested to see how it spins up. That’s a pound of fiber for $17, whoo hoo! I …
Flickr me this…
For my birthday Bj got me a flickr pro account. I’ve had a regular account for a while, but had not gone beyond adding a few images to my favorites. Today I decided to take the plunge and put in the little code and sign up. I did it because while visiting Shell’s photo stream …
The Library Rocks!
Today was kind of a slow day for me, as in I moved so slow. I went to visit with grandpa and picked us up the usual, a frozen coke for me and chocolate shake for him, so that caffeine helped a little. Grandpa was in a kind of mood today that drives me crazy. …
Spinning for actual knitting
Last night I was rocking the baby surprise sweater… So I started doing a ply of this awesome Maisy Day Merino. When you first start to spin your yarn is really slubby, full of thick and thin places, but at no real set intervals, couple that with insane twist problems and it can make for …
Random Monday
Let’s start with some grandpa randomness. This evening when Bj and I went over to visit (had to bring him a chocolate milkshake, we’re trying to bulk him up), we got on the subject of email. He wanted to know how it worked and what it was. We were talking about it and I told …
Cut and Cover
I got a couple of things done this weekend that I have been meaning to do. Including cutting my love’s hair. He wanted me to start with a 1 and when I did a little patch I knew it would be too short. Brent came over half way through the haircut/giggle feast (I can’t help …
I just want to bang on my drum all day
Bj and I have been humming that song lately, "I don’t want to work, I just want to bang on my drum all day." Only instead of "bang on my drum" I want to knit, scrapbook, and spin yarn. Shocking I know. 🙂 I love Ribbon Jar, but lately I have been wanted to craft, …
This and That
I’ve mostly been working Ribbon Jar, but I did sneak up to Seattle with Bj for a few nights. Carmen was in town for work so I couldn’t pass up the chance to see her "down south" hehehe. Anyway just wanted to catch you up on my projects: It’s just the way it is framed …
