I’m sitting here typing waiting for the obscenely quiet washing machine to finish washing the load of laundry I just put in. If you are in a hurry and were just wondering if I am still alive I will give you the brief synopsis of what has gone down. We all made it fine as …
Yep, it is official, the turquoise turd is on it’s way to the UK. Not only did we have space for it, but I could have fit another 500 or so books more in that 40′-er. A 40′ container is a lot of container. Everything went well today. Minimum damage to either house or furniture and …
Packing continues here in lovely Apopka. The yarn room continues to be filled with more boxes and containers than were even in there previously. It is interesting to see the house seem to gradually empty into a couple of rooms which are completely impassible. It will be an experience for me once everything is once …
What a fun day. Today I went to the S.O.C.K.S. (South Orlando Crocheters, Knitters and Spinners) 5th annual Distaff day. It was a blast and the first time that I have ever gotten a chance to spin with other people. It is also the first time a photo of me spinning has been taken. The folks …
So, I am back to washing wool. I still have a long way to go, but have gotten through most of one box that has vexed my husband by sitting in the kitchen for a few months now. I have found that (gasp!) smaller batches actually make the whole overall process go more quickly. Go …
EndWe have done the insane, the impossible, the fuzzy and bulky. We have cataloged my yarn stash. Note that I did not say “my entire yarn stash”. That will have to wait for the UK as there were a LOT with no labels or with labels that were so, well, mysterious, or in other languages so …
Packing is in full-swing here. We’re up to the mid 200’s in the box numbers. Mind you a lot of those are the wonderful cat food and litter buckets that I am obsessive about saving since they make great yarn containers but they are not the biggest things to pack things into. However, they are …
My husband is a saint. No, it’s not that he only has the patience of one (which he does) but that he is, in fact, as saint. The pope just doesn’t know it yet. Screw the pope (he probably needs it!), the world doesn’t know it yet. I am sure that some folks kinda figured, since …
I am considering doing something totally insane. I mean REALLY crazy. Like lock you up in a padded room nuts. Only in my case, it would be padded with yarn…. I am considering cataloging my entire stash. I have done something like this before. I cataloged my entire book collection, all 3087 …
I figure that if I get them out in the open, they cannot come true. So, I am getting them as out in the open as I possibly can (with maybe the exception of having Susan Stamberg read them aloud at 8:30on a Tuesday morning). I mean, what is more out there and in the …
