do you ever miss tattooing and piercing? if you do you should let me pay you to give me some more body mods..

i love your wool it makes me smile..

someday we should really try to hang out, it would be fun i promise!

i thought that i would miss it, but i don't. i have a bit of a psychic sensitivity, so when people are hurting or scared, i absorb it. it exhausted me. i do still have all of my stuff and lots of jewelry, so let me know if you need a piece of jewelry. i probably have it:) for sure let me know if you wanna hang. i am not the peppiest girl you will ever meet, so you just have to prepare for that. and that i am covered in wool, sparkles and cat hair.

offtopic: what day are you going to MSW?

[luxefibre]

i think saturday. i need to double check how long it took to drive out to decide if we want to spend the cash on a hotel room or not. i need to list some damn stuff so i can actually go AND buy a little something. otherwise, i will have to shoplift. from you. i will just follow you around and bump into you and take your stuff. prior to that, i will have to hand out with you and pressure you into getting the stuff that i like.

actually, i normally get so overwhelmed that i buy nothing, or not much. odd, eh?

Sorry you are feeling poopy Natasha.
I totally relate to your chickenpox analogy.
Hang in there, you do have a Pat Green Drumcarder....so that does make me jealous. :)

[luxefibre]

i am doing okay. i imagine with kiddies you have an up and down energy thing going on yourself.

i am enjoying the carder. the whole hands free thing does a lot to improve a batt. not spinning them up myself is its own battle, tho. hee.

[atomhearteve]

ha!
never thought of the hands free element.
what do you think of the wider but thinner aspect,
easier to work with?
I always like the way louets make the fatties...but maybe i just miss smoking the fatties...lol
that was a LONG time ago.
Glad you are feelin' better. :)

i didn't really think about it either, honestly. i still end up holding my hand over the drum to help the fiber go onto the drum so i hope to get a brush attachment to help with that, but it is really nice to have both hands there.

as for easier or harder...different. my louet can handle lumpy bumpy crazy stuff. the PG would get hung up. i knew that they would handle totally different things, so that is fine with me. if you only did smooth batts, either one would be fine, although obviously, an electric carder is 5 times more expensive. if you mostly do chunkier batts, then the louet is the way to go. i have used the strauch and the louet and i really love my louet, i have to say.

i think you may have smoked too MANY fatties, skinny! :)
