another day home!

Which one do you like better?

Another day I get to stay home! Ask me......what have you done today sofar? LOL! Well I did finish this logo for a contest and got it uploaded to the site on ravelry. It is for the High Fiber Podcast. It is hand drawn and then some editing and text via random paint programs. I am working very hard to learn new programs on this mac!

Chit chatted on skype with friend, surfed the net together (too much fun!) And am now trying to get off this hard as nails chair! to get something done LOL!

Todays list of things to do, I did clear out some stuff from my closet for donation. Really nice evening dresses worn to weddings etc. They will get a good home.

Next is to wash up a load or so out of a "was supposed to be garage sale" bag of clothes from the basement and donate them too! Continue over a period of time to donate and trash the clutter in the dungeon (basement).

I guess that next time I sit down here at the computer I will have to upload a few photos too keep interest.

Have ya ever?

Have you ever had one of those days? LOL. Well let me elaborate!

Spent a few hours, yes hours LOL on skype with Coggietm of the High Fiber Diet Podcast (downloadable from itunes). She is so much darn fun! Why oh why can't we live closer than 3 hours? Well since we don't, it's good that we can talk all day for free huh? Just connect on the laptop and even go from room to room and if you want to show something turn on the vidcam! YIKES did I forget to brush my hair?

Ok so for one of those days darnit! I have run or should I say NOT run across a second item I can't find since Christmas! The first was nice purse purchased at costco and now the second is a flip camcorder! Where did it go? I know that I didn't or wasn't going to use it this Christmas as it was just too chaotic, but I will be darned if I can find it now! Wish me luck in the future on this stuff!

This is part of 2009

This is Lorna's laces combed top. I had two different colors devon and mountain creek that were similar and thought that they would ply up together beautifully...........see for yourself!

This plus this made this!

Without getting up off the couch and checking the label I believe that I have 702 yards to make something with! It is a light worsted and superwash merino. So I do think that it will make a good childs sweater if there is enough yardage.

After Christmas.......

Ha! It's a couple days after Christmas and I think that we have to get off our butts and get out of the house for a bit!

On our 17th wedding anniversary (Dec. 21) I got us both New Zealand fleeces to cover our recliners. DH says that they are 'pimped out' LOL!!

And as you can see from my iphone photo someone else loves this too! I wonder if I can find a small version for the pup?

It has been way too long..........

Ok it is time for me to play catch up!! My birthday is tomorrow already! Then just 4 more days (3 if you do Christmas with family on the eve) to get all the presents wrapped! Oh and lets not mention I still need stocking stuffers. OOPS!

I have been really busy I guess. Some knitting, some spinning, a fiber in the forest retreat back in November.

Met with CoggieTM from the High Fiber diet podcast a couple of weeks ago at the Spinning Loft here in Howell. Had lunch with the girls. Laughed, shopped and gifted fiber.

Have to locate some photos.
But for now I am still alive, smiling and ready to keep ya all updated!

Wow! missed a whole month!

October in a nutshell?

That would be more work than I can re-create here I think.

But you know there was some knitting time, some spinning time, time for work and also time for play.

Maybe just a few photos to tell a story?

Did I ever?

You know I am blogging from the iPhone again and can't remember if I ever posted a photo of my goodies that my sister from another mother sent me!
Some time ago I tried to lure her over to the "other" side with a drop spindle, book on how to and some fiber samples. Some of which I dyed myself from Easter egg dyes.
Well I just don't think my temptaion worked!
So in the meantime she accumulated a box of goodies to send me. Now ya know if I forget to mention something I have to apolgize right here and now with a big fat SORRY.
Here goes, some wonderful fiber for me to spin, might be a hint! Then there was a seashell from the seashore and a bottle of real authentic Atlantic beach sand, I think to dump on the floor and wiggle my toes in maybe? A purty little key chain so that maybe when I loose my carkeys I can say that they have a nifty atlantic beach keychain attached ro them and how many of those do you think there are in Michigan?
Then just to clean up my now sandy toes there are 3 bars of handmade soap and even a shampoo bar!!! I must admit that that shampoo bar is my favorite thing!
Well almost. There is also a skein of malabrigo lace yarn!!! I have never had the pleasure of seeing it before in person and now I have some of my very own!!!! Thank you thank you!!
Ok so here is a photo taken with iPhone right after I opened my goodie box.

Eugene

Well yesterday I adopted a Rex bunny from a lady that foud it abandoned. Named him Eugene. He is the friendliest bunny ever! Hard to believe someone would just drop him in a parking lot!
So with that said I will contact local humane society to see if there is a missing report before purchasing a deluxe home.
But in the meantime here is a quit iPhone photo to show him off.

Not the best time.....

Our oldest (5 year old) granddaughter Abby is shown here in these photos using chopsticks for the first time! Luckily grandma remembered how to make the cheater chops with a rubber band and chopstick wrapper!!

Still thinking and doing some research on the podcast. Got a mic and a podcast book to read......hey it's a start!

Still boxing......but might switch things up a bit as I would like to take some type of classes to better myself. Spanish I and a physical class and even a journaling online class? I'm just thinking.

I looked into medical transcription....... one year online class with certification when you are finished. It's an option. Then there was also a phlebotomy class, it was full ;(. Not sure the I have whats required to take it though.

well that's a quickie for now! LOL Time to make the chicken.

Facebook and farmtown........total I mean total time suck! And I can't help it! Ya just want to get to that next level! It is fun to work through it with family and friends though! And to have reconnected with old friends from high school too! Technology. Amazing.

Knitting? Well still working on that chevron scarf probably more than halfway but just yes, bored with it. So I cast on a knitted beaded scarf. Bought it in kit form from my local yarn shop Whitmore Lake Yarn Co. here in you guessed it! Whitmore Lake Michigan. Still have the hardly worked on socks on the needles........and last but not least I had to cast on a scarf pattern that I am supposed to be teaching later this month. I knit a whole scarf but that was months ago, had to cast on and refresh my brain on the pattern details. I rarely knit the same thing twice so it was a push for sure!

I will throw up a photo or so in a bit just to keep things interesting ok?

thanks for following................Lorrie
