I didn't do that much this weekend-- cleaned up the kitchen a few times, painted my bedroom. That's about it. I'm very pleased with the bedroom color, and how it looks with the furniture and bedding and artwork.

If I wait another day, I think the dirty laundry might eat me. It's definitely bigger than I am at this point. Well, it's not getting washed tonight but at least it's finally sorted and consolidated, so if I'm really motivated, I can get up and do it tomorrow morning before work.

In the meantime, here, look at some fiber:

Here is several months' worth of work. Much of it is either just recently finished or just recently photographed. This is long, but it's mostly pictures. Mostly.

Well, I promised you a yarny post. Before I begin, however, I feel the need to share with you all that I am seriously coveting this swimsuit, and it's all Kasey Chandler's fault (she linked to another suit from this site on FB, and that started me browsing, and...well, it's all downhill from there.) And also a little bit innostrantsa's fault for linking to ( Read more... )

I feel like this week has gone by in a blur, and I feel like a bit of a lump. I didn't go to African dance at all this week-- SmithKatie's birthday was Tuesday, so I went over to celebrate with her as is our usual custom (we drank tea, ate yummy chocolate layer cake that she made, and watched Olympic figure skating and a surprisingly funny and ( Read more... )

I'm gonna need to get myself a spinning icon one of these days.

( Here's my first finished creation on my spinning wheel. )

I haven't been doing yoga for the past bunch of days because of being sick. Me = dumb. I finally did some and I feel worlds better. What was I thinking and why didn't I do this sooner?

A pancake dinner (yay Mardi Gras), a lovely visit from gaius_de_mare, some card games, a bit of knitting, and some brandy in my hippie-dippy herbal throat tea didn't hurt ( Read more... )

I'm back home in Bloomington now, after much devilry and delay with my travel schedule. gaius_de_mare is my hero/knight in a white pickup truck for hanging around Indy far longer than he should have had to on a work night and bringing me home from the airport. I owe him. I'm not sure what, exactly, but I'm pretty sure that I owe him something fairly sizable ( Read more... )

First off: OMG! I'm getting a spinning wheel! My friend Aimee, who lent me her Ashford Kiwi last year, has finally decided to sell it, as she never really uses it anymore. I really loved that wheel, and she's asking a great price, so I jumped on it. I won't get it till next week, as this week's busy with travel, but soon it'll come home ( Read more... )

In my fiber-dyeing escapades yesterday, I did two batches of white merino roving that crescentwench had given me a while back, and one skein of sock yarn (Patons Kroy Sock) that I had lying around. I wanted to get something like this-- soft and muted, but rich and fully saturated. I had all the same colors of Wilton's cake coloring (mostly-- I had a different ( Read more... )
