The SCHTUFF

So when I’m really busy I tend to look for ways to organize, so I buy a label maker, or a new bookshelf, or some closet organization stuff. This time it was a new bag. I got the Bamboo Green Haiku bag from Scout! I love it! It’s small (which keeps me from hauling around […]

While I'm at it…..

Thanks for all the encouragement friends, I’m working on getting organized at work…hoping maybe that will help. Found out that some of the stuff I was stressing out about not getting done isn’t actually my job, so I’m getting that sorted out. And mostly trying to get into a routine. At least I get paid […]

Finishing things up and packing

Holy crap! Deadline knitting right before you leave for a trip where you may not have internet access is NERVE RACKING! I got the lace piece done and it is BEAUTIFUL! Look for its publication in the Fall. Also, I finished a mitt pattern for Anne’s spinning fiber club. This was my first knitting with […]

Potted Sage

I have been instructed to inform you all that… SCOUT LOVES ME BEST!* She custom dyed some roving for me. I wanted something really cool to give away as the spinning prize in my birthday contest, so I asked her to dye me something with shades of sage to olive green and a bit of […]

Estes Park Wool Market 2007

I am back and at least MOSTLY intact. I am tired and a bit sore from the long ride, but I had a lot of fun, which makes it worth the long-term effects. A bunch of bloggers at the Stanley Hotel I rode out with a bunch of Utah Grrls; Margene, Cheryl, Karen, and Val […]

A spinning quickie

Just a quick post to show you some spinning! I haven’t washed either of these skeins yet, so I can’t say for sure what their final stats will be, but I’m rather proud of them, so I’d like to show them off : ) White Cormo for an upcoming Wooly Wonka Spinning Fiber Club offering […]

Mmmmm… Chocolate Bars….

I finished the spinning, the plying and the washing of the chocolate bar roving this weekend. YAY! The shifting browns and little snatches of reds are just beautiful together! Thanks for the fun Teyani! I think that cranberry Sauce or Green Olives is calling to me! Fiber: Crown Mountain Farms Corriedale Pencil Roving in the […]

The world spins on!

Thanks for all the well wishes, I am feeling better than before, although still not anywhere near 100%. As promised, I’m showing you some stuff. Today will be the spinning and tomorrow will be the knitting. I’ve been spinning in my spare time to keep my hands from cramping up and to relax a bit […]

HOLY CRAP!

What a weekend! Or rather just Sunday and today. Saturday was pretty tame by comparison. On Sunday morning we packed up to go to my parents’ house for Easter lunch. I am almost done with the first sock for a kit for Anne, but the upcoming bit was tricky, so I figured I would need […]

5 Questions Interview

When I saw Carole’s interview I couldn’t resist asking for some questions of my own! She was kind enough to oblige and here they are, with my answers 🙂 1. Tell us what it’s like to live in Salt Lake City. Living in Salt Lake City is wonderful 🙂 I grew up in the Los […]
