Last night the hubby and I had a striking conversation on the way home from dinner at the sushi place. I was telling him about Rhinebeck (otherwise known as the NYS Sheep and Wool Festival) and how I was sad that I probably wouldn’t get to go to it since I wouldn’t probably be able …
This weekend was a busy one for me. My husband and I flew to California, me from Orlando, he from London, for a wedding. The wedding was for, well, two people whom I had never met before, but my husband seems to like them and he is generally not wrong about folks (with one pretty …
First Yarn from my spinning wheel The Spinning Wheel Houston, we have pictures! This is going to be a rather lengthy post, not because I have a lot of prose to share with you, rather a LOT of pictures. So here is a picture of the spinning wheel, oiled and having already seen action. I …
Today I have spun yarn, attended a garden club meeting, tried on a dress and found that it fits and done homework. I have not yet done the cat litter, workwork, lawn mowing or substantial cleaning of the house. And I still cannot remember what month it is let alone what day of the month …
Yes, as you can probably guess from the title of this post, I have forged ahead and put together the spinning wheel. And it works. I have spun some singles. It is good. I ended-up putting two coats of the oil rubbing finish (and let me tell you, with all of the long, cylindrical pieces …
Today I hot oiled my spinning wheel. To every female (and I am sure, a few hair conscious males out there) who lived through the early 90’s, this brings up memories of little squirty vials that you were supposed to put in a glass of hot (not boiling) water to “activate” the oil, and then …
I don’t really feel up to being creative right now, cleaning up dog poop from previously pictured cuties really takes the creativity right on out of a person (though, I am thankful that they are small dogs as I have cleaned-up rottweiler poop in the past, and that will just knock you flat on your ass!). So, …
I want to pack. I may be the only human on the face of the planet who loves to pack things. In fact, I am also pretty good at it. I don’t know where this talent came from, as I never moved anywhere until college. Yep, grew-up in the same house from the time that …
I haven’t been to a Hooker’s Meet-up in a month. If any of y’all know anything about me, then you will know that this is probably the longest that I have gone without my hooking hook-up since I started, well, hooking-up. (Yeah, I know, but I just couldn’t resist!). I’ve missed my crazy gang of …
A number of random ass things to discuss today….. Random bit #1 I am officially the lobster-mama of lobster-mamas today. I was outside in the Florida August sun from around 10 to 2. Yeah, I know, dumb. In my defence, I didn’t think that it would take that damn long! Also, it’s not as though …
