Ecopsychology
Turns out that Ecopsychology is the idea that connecting with nature can heal the mind. Yeah, okay, so I *did* already know that...if only on an intuitive level...not because I know all the major theorists and therapists. I don't know squat about psychology, or all it's major players. But I do know I feel better [emotionally] when I've had some ( Read more... ) -
Insane :)
While between semesters, I signed up with Spunky Eclectic for a fiber of the month club. Never mind that I have a Rubbermaid tub full of white fiber from 32 different breeds of sheep! Anyhow, the first selection was Party Dress, which I spun up hoping to get close to worsted weight. I didn't, but at least it isn't laceweight. The latest batch is ( Read more... ) -
Last postcard for a while
After being asked to fill in for a presenter who cancelled, the fiber guild cancelled the meeting itself in anticipation of the weather. *Whew!* I spent last monday working on the background for the Poetic Postcard trade. Yesterday, with no meeting and no presentation to make, I added the bottles and began cutting them apart. I have to add the ( Read more... ) -
Hooray!
It looks as though I will be able to take a Cherryhill course...now...the hard part, deciding which one! -

Dream Idol ATCs....
This has been a real learning experience; I'm not sure if I'll attempt to sew an ATC on a machine again any time soon. It just looks so bad! Other fiber folk use sergers but I don't want to invest the money, and my little Brother machine doesn't like the layers of fabric, batting and interfacing. The next trade is "Cover Fabio" paperback book ( Read more... ) -
Ouch!
So I spent the day, my first real day off in the pool....and have the pink skin to prove it. LOL. Brenda and I had a lovely day in her pool. I brought fixings for shrimp salad....yum. I *was* going to work on my last sock from the dye workshop yarn [I am soooooo sick of green socks] but didn't.

a bust...
Hmmm. Wonder if planets are in retrograde or something. I took a day off to spend with a friend, who then cancelled on me. So, instead I ended up planting seeds in the garden. I also caught up on my spinning. Here is the Valentine's Candy mix of Cotswold, Romney and Merino all spun up.

When I hopped a flight up to DC, I certainly didn't expect to slog through snow! But that is exactly what happened. I arrived Friday night, got hugged and kissed by my adorable nephews who showed me only a tenth of a massive Hot Wheels collection before heading off for bed.
The next day we had a Norwegian breakfast; absolutely delicious sandwiches ( Read more... )
