Kingdom A&S, Project Post, and Future Plans
Kingdom A&S was a great learning experience as always. I got to student judge with Leif again which is always an eye opener, and mainly convinces me I do not want to put myself out there to be judged yet. But made me think maybe I should. Maybe next year, we'll see, I'm thinkin'. But for sure it will be a single entry would NOT be going for ( Read more... ) -
Madder Fun
Got all my dye stuff out and had some fun with madder in the last couple days. Dyed a bunch of silk. Even though I tied the skeins very loosley I still didn't get enough dye under the ties, I think it swelled more than I was expecting. In any case I'm ready to warp it up today for another TW project, and hope that the pale spots don't show up too ( Read more... ) -
Hours in the Loomy Bin
I just spent half an hour winding bobbins with drill, and an hour weaving at my parents in the room I have dubbed the Loomy Bin. Made it through over 18 inches of weaving...and I am much happier with my selvadges. I only quit because my kids were starting to lurk and ruin my cathartic haze of weaviness...(new work, all my own). The warp weighted ( Read more... ) -
Estrella was E.P.I.C
Home from Estrella. It was loads of fun. Only one very brief moment of ick when I didn't quite make it through a morning of what could have been quite a hangover with no concequences. But I was well enough to be on a horse an hour later and kicking butt. An Tir rocked the EQ world down there. On Saturday in one tournament we took 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and ( Read more... ) -
Sunday of Win with Ponies
Started off by sleeping in. I let the kids stay up as late as they wanted last night, Casey lasted the longest, waiting till the movie was over at 1:30 to pass out. That was a lonnnnng movie. Corey was out before midnight, and Lane around 10. So I got to sleep in till about 8:30, and I'll send them to bed early tonight to get ready for the week. ( Read more... ) -
Gym Mania
So at the gym today I almost passed out. That was fun in the middle of a group class. "Yes, I'm fine, I'm just going to lean against this wall for a minute." Had a long talk with the trainer at the end, and he tells me I'm not eating enough, even though I had a protein shake for breakfast. "If you eat carbs before you work out, you'll burn them off ( Read more... ) -
Perspective
When you're down and looking for a friend to talk to sometimes just the right one comes along to remind you of all your blessings and that you should quit whining. I have an awesome husband (and he's hawt, wonderful family, they are all healthy, and I have been immeasurably blessed in my life ( Read more... ) -

Cyriac's Hat the final post
So here as promised it Cyriac's hat, which can be seen in person at Ursulmas this weekend. When I asked him where his fur was, he just said in the closet on the shelf, I opened the closet and grabbed the first fur I saw. Turns out it was my fur for my hat, but I didn't remember that, and his fur was black. So glad I grabbed the wrong one! I think ( Read more... )
