But soon we hope to be in our first "HOME" in FL soon. I picked knitting back up after a 20+ year hiatus, I also spin my own fiber and weave as well.UniquelymeNanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03687782614754711515noreply@blogger.comBlogger105125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299556042880231351.post-71479532228932897932010-12-30T03:49:00.000-06:002010-12-30T03:49:44.241-06:00The Come End of 2010!Well this has been an interesting to say the least. I have been battling depression and trying to get things pulled to gether for our move to FL. The VA has been pulling us through the wringers, but praise God we have had victories along the way as we continue to move forward. The first house we bid on we found out that we were the high bidder but the bank decided to foreclose on the owners instead. Then we spotted another home in a nice area with "big" kitchen and a garden tub and separate shower in the master. Our bid was accepted and then about a week into the deal the realtor called and said there was trouble with the title. So now we have decided to lease for awhile in FL and then we can take our time finding the right home that the Lord has for us. Sometimes we make plans and God laughs, because his plan is bigger and better for us.<br />
<br />
Christmas was nice at midnight on Christmas morning I sang Happy Birthday to Jesus, I know you think I am crazy but that is something that I started doing. I have decided to invite the Lord into the activities of my day and when I do this I find I have less pain and I can get more done. There are a few people that we will miss when we leave TX. One special friend is Enid our post lady she is just so awesome, if we have packages she brings them to the door and rings the bell so we know that we havev packages and even puts the mail with then for us. She is just great always goes above her duties. I mean she could just put a notice in our box and we'd have to drive to the post office and stand in a long line waiting to pick them up. With things being tight this year we still wanted to give her something special. So I decided to make a Peach Blackberry cobbler and cookies for her and her family. We gave it to her yesterday and she was so happy.<br />
<br />
I love to do things like this for peole and also knit them things and so forth. this year I've done quiet a bit of knitting as you can see: The first one is of the back of a "big" slochy beret that isi of my own design that I knitted for a swap.<br />

I am watching the American with George Clooney. The house is quiet even hubby is not snoring tonight :-). Well I hope to make another entry into this blog before the new year begins. I really need to get myself back into blogging.<br />
So it is later gator for now!UniquelymeNanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03687782614754711515noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299556042880231351.post-22830297589658663942010-09-23T05:54:00.000-05:002010-09-23T05:54:32.144-05:00Curve/bump in the Road ~ When we make plans God Laughs<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Well we're still packing and stacking, Friday they come to take pictures and then we'll see. We might take another trip to FL to look at other property. It seems that after 17 days of waiting the bank has decided to let the propertry foreclose and not accept out offer or the other couples offer. So we are searching again and have found another potential that is quite a bit lower that what we bid on the other place. Has more square footage and with what we save what we get from selling this place we can have a screened in room and pool built. So we are excited, we never know what the Lord will do for us and it just amazes me because this new option seems better and it is exactly 2.5 miles and a six minute drive from Sista's house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WooHoo yes Lord thank you Jesus!!</span>UniquelymeNanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03687782614754711515noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299556042880231351.post-18254927529571084532010-09-05T17:22:00.004-05:002010-09-05T17:42:49.389-05:00Packing packing oh my lolWell it is official we are headed for Ocala, FL. We put our bid in for our new home, we saw it last month and when we walked in to do a walk through it was like we were finally "home". A place where we can grow deep roots. God is good and the doors are opening for us. Yes we have had a few obstacles but it is amazing, cause when God says this is it and go you step out in faith and trust him and man things are just popping an falling into place. Plus the interest rate we got is 1.5 - 2 pecent lower that what we are paying here. The home is bigger, better designed and the kitchen, everything is in the right place!! The pool area is screen in and we can have a run right off of the pool area for the dogs so they can enjoy the out of doors more (Rita will love that). Michael will have plenty of space he needs for his trains and hotwheel collection. He has already been talking to some of his friends who live in FL and they are so excited that he will be tops 2 hours or lest away from them. Plus I will be about 10 minutes away from sista which is just awesome. It has been 6 years of hell in respect to being so far from here, we've always been less than 20 minutees away an noiw the 6 years of draught so to speak is ending. We'll be able to have tea by the pool and discuss the scriptures and sermons of Pastor Tim. We'll be able to do some powerful praying as well as having an afternoon tea and BBQ's for friends to come and share good food and friends time. The Lord has let us now that our time and season in TX is now over an he is sending us to the next level in our journey and next chapter in our lives and man is it exciting Praise God!!!!!!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTW-nEDASLTug9Y_PDmQPG0pbvkjskxX2YbK227lGinWuZJiejk3dBev24biSPmgZ-a4n4TIFOof5v5_n7fo3PrF3FN5A09ykcAYSidnGPLCn9Wt9U7KP91ysiBp6xE2Pk5Euwd2evVHg/s1600/New+Pictures+008.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513561926621807122" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTW-nEDASLTug9Y_PDmQPG0pbvkjskxX2YbK227lGinWuZJiejk3dBev24biSPmgZ-a4n4TIFOof5v5_n7fo3PrF3FN5A09ykcAYSidnGPLCn9Wt9U7KP91ysiBp6xE2Pk5Euwd2evVHg/s400/New+Pictures+008.jpg" /></a>The above is the kitchen notice that I have 2 deep draws that will hold my pots and pans!!!!

I have been busy between voluteering for the rodeo livestock in March and learning how to weave. I went to my first WOW meeting on Apr. 1 and it was great. WOW stands for Weavers Out West. Thursday night 4/15 is guild meeting and I am going. I am going to run for the office of membership. They have an opening and I believe I can do the job! I have also started a new blog called weavingontheedge.blogger.com. It is dedicated to my weaving. So now it is official I am now a multi-tasking fiber artist lol. Boy if I had a camera I'd have a priceless picture. Michael is sleeping, Rita is curled up on her pillow sleeping, Angus is at the foot of the bed sleeping and McKinley is curled up behind me sleeping. I just need to get some sleep and then I will feel better. I need to wind a warp for the baby wolf, and then dress Camelita in the Magic Carpet ride warp that is long enough for 2 scarves to be woven. Well I should drink my herbal tea and turn the light out and sleep. Tomorrow is another day!<br />Night for now!<br /><br />:-)UniquelymeNanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03687782614754711515noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299556042880231351.post-66251458539934617622010-02-20T02:57:00.004-06:002010-02-20T03:33:23.599-06:00Another week done ~ Spin like the WindOn the Cocobolo spindle I am spinning up a yummy blend of 80/20 merino/tussah in colorway called Venetian that I purchased I believe from Frecklefaced girl.

It is a 50/50 blend of camel and tussah silk that I purchased from Far Out Farms at the Januaru Spin-in that was held in Destin, FL last month. The colorway is called Starbirth and I purchased 2 - 2 oz. containers of this color. I think I will make a nice lace scarf to wear. I did spin a little up on the Kundert but I feel that the spindle is a little too heavy at 1.4 ounces. So I will spin it up using my traditional wheel.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnAbv__ukQ7_5YWrA4RS-V310hKxNHGbPMhuGeL_YbTChv5NYxuADfkcEEg3rIFPtTRDl_tZg8N5NMoAz02b6a0EdiC7OHxbZJ83FXT8fI74aWKVj_bnwd3cMjz4QSzwy4SOkSpI6cuxU/s1600-h/Kundert+~+Camel+%26+Tussah+fiber.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440251682015116194" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnAbv__ukQ7_5YWrA4RS-V310hKxNHGbPMhuGeL_YbTChv5NYxuADfkcEEg3rIFPtTRDl_tZg8N5NMoAz02b6a0EdiC7OHxbZJ83FXT8fI74aWKVj_bnwd3cMjz4QSzwy4SOkSpI6cuxU/s400/Kundert+~+Camel+%26+Tussah+fiber.jpg" /></a> <div></div><div></div><br /><div>It is 3:27 Saturday morning and I still have to do a little knitting on my lace bed socks that are entered in the Team Bluemoon Ravelypics team Hockey Socks.

What an incredible group of people I had the privilege of meeting and spinning with. Next year we'll have a bvetter time because we will be arriving 2 days before and staying 2 days after the event. This way we will be able to enjoy the beach and some of the local eateries and shops in town. Just look at this bag of yummy fiber and the 2 new spindles I purchased. The fiber is 925 grams of Polwarth. The fleece was dyes these beautiful colors called Ashes of Roses. This fiber came from Francine of Rovings which is in Canada. I already have one 9"-inch bobbin spun up and a 2nd bobbin already started. I also brought more of her fiber but in roving form.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKEE4Sf0GrONUI47SzztlPwvEN9n8w8boB78Wlgtpt5-99JxZpF8Bh2w6SItayZhHSsuhM7kyylThFaqkmGGBQbz_ZT4HOKzUdUksBxGasQONKi5UZrOtdZUlrnnyjZMa6_aLs3c6dQW0/s1600-h/Kundert+%26+Paraiso+Spindles+nesstled+in+925+grms+of+Ashes+to+Roses.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436487024279100978" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKEE4Sf0GrONUI47SzztlPwvEN9n8w8boB78Wlgtpt5-99JxZpF8Bh2w6SItayZhHSsuhM7kyylThFaqkmGGBQbz_ZT4HOKzUdUksBxGasQONKi5UZrOtdZUlrnnyjZMa6_aLs3c6dQW0/s400/Kundert+%26+Paraiso+Spindles+nesstled+in+925+grms+of+Ashes+to+Roses.jpg" /></a> This fiber below is 4.5 ounces of a 85/15 blend of shetland mohair blend in medium blue color. I think this would make some nice socks, or maybe a nice hat. I got this fiber as a gift from Kim at Far Out Farm. She had some incredible fiber I was ever so supportive by purchasing "A LOT" of it. I am talking beautiful Chasing Rainbow Colors and some outstanding dyed Camel/Tussah blend. I purchased 2 Star Birth packages and 1 Opal. This fiber spins up nicely on a spindle but I am going to try it on the wheel to see how it looks and feels. This fiber will be for a beautiful lave scarf.<br /><div> </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIdxe5pY0S9giREaJjXL1z3EjMt6PhulvKQ6Ye4DNr3GhTfyyHpgfpFT-pEwbRHeRQj9X70aQ4g4eWaVOWHMsBGKMw9RgsxfP-8hy5O4-gYgaQHM3W-thpmdlvxdGbfjzBRlNvBtoyll4/s1600-h/Bowl+%233+of+85%25+Shetland+15%25+Mohair+Blend+a+gift+from+Kim.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436487021066115458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIdxe5pY0S9giREaJjXL1z3EjMt6PhulvKQ6Ye4DNr3GhTfyyHpgfpFT-pEwbRHeRQj9X70aQ4g4eWaVOWHMsBGKMw9RgsxfP-8hy5O4-gYgaQHM3W-thpmdlvxdGbfjzBRlNvBtoyll4/s400/Bowl+%233+of+85%25+Shetland+15%25+Mohair+Blend+a+gift+from+Kim.jpg" /></a><br />This bowl is now filled with silk hankies and two rovings on the right from RiversEdge Weaving Studio. Carol and Debb have some incredible fiber and she even offers a sheet that explains in detail the fibers and blends that they use and their benifical qualities. They're awesome and lots of fun too lol. I am looking forward to spinning up some of their fiber. the fiber to the left is Chasing Rainbows Shell Box a 50/50 Merino/Tussah blend. This tiome around I am finding that I am buying more "<strong><em>Quality</em></strong>" versus quantity.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb12u6tQay_KmAnrDgy_NoFMbxN2Yhso_KS7QIvECSjycpF22AUv1tdTQ1lXBlVGNtjgDrGfdwOVqA4ldJQheOCYkbb-dncyw-SAOSRIZ4zx9HL2AbPm-xDUiq0r-G4D5xR6Gq9HDI2Sg/s1600-h/Bowl+%232+of+fiber+loot.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436487019172213106" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb12u6tQay_KmAnrDgy_NoFMbxN2Yhso_KS7QIvECSjycpF22AUv1tdTQ1lXBlVGNtjgDrGfdwOVqA4ldJQheOCYkbb-dncyw-SAOSRIZ4zx9HL2AbPm-xDUiq0r-G4D5xR6Gq9HDI2Sg/s400/Bowl+%232+of+fiber+loot.jpg" /></a> This bowl of fiber is filled mostly with high end and luxury blend fiber. AThe 2 rather vibrant rovings are from Dicentra and they are just awesome in one of my favorite fibers BFL. Lisa's dyeing is just vibrant, rich deep and clear, these two colorways Pilneer and Elowyn are just the bomb as our oldest granddaughter would say.

Look at this beautiful wheel, it is just awesome. I had such fun and fiber people are really awesome. I felt like I had known a lot of them for a long time, I think I spent about a good deal walking around and talking as I did spinning. In my next post I will have more fiber to share and also I'll strt posting pictures of the great place that we stayed at. We have an awesome view of both the pool and the beach being on the 10th floor and all.</div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQSwHU0xM6ofa50lHOzl-UaqUgAXaMG7Dta1pHyPQGr762u-VEWPblyWiUIFapOKhZsbVodF7lvsZYt7NyaXz0VuSgPRMyqMS6je_jKHNX8UhZctXp9TcCbiTh0gVOZVFSC-PQJFChAT8/s1600-h/Another+shot+of+the+Reeves+wheel.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436487003124497730" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQSwHU0xM6ofa50lHOzl-UaqUgAXaMG7Dta1pHyPQGr762u-VEWPblyWiUIFapOKhZsbVodF7lvsZYt7NyaXz0VuSgPRMyqMS6je_jKHNX8UhZctXp9TcCbiTh0gVOZVFSC-PQJFChAT8/s400/Another+shot+of+the+Reeves+wheel.jpg" /></a><br />Well my friends I need to recharge the batteries and hopefully I will have some good news from one of my new friends regarding selling my stitch markers.

I look back on 2009 and thank the Lord for briong us through another year. We suffered 3 loses, but one the other hand I know the suffering has ended. I've had to change quitew a bit in my life health wise and that is for the good. Being diabetic has made me very aware of just how much sugar in it's many forms and sodium amount other things is in the foods we eat. Michael and I suffered a terrible blow in March, but I thank God that I listened to that still small voice and our marriage is stronger than ever now. For awhile I though I was seriously ill because I kept falling when I was in the house cause I was loosing my balance, but it turned out to be medication that needed to be adjusted.</div><div> </div><div>We now have a new dog named Lady McKinley Yasira she is a 6 month old Black and Creme Phanton Toy Poodle and she gives Sir Angus Seton a run for his money. She is such a joy and she has taught Angus how to play. Michael got her for me because Rita is getting old she'll be 10 this year abd she is now totally blind and he said that having McKinley will make it a little easier when Rita passes. We are getting things in order and taken care of so that when we get the green light to go we can move to the country. We have decided to move to a 10 - 20 acre hobby farm. It will be wonderful to go out in the morning and sit on the porch and have morning coffee before gathering fresh eggs for breakfast. I will have a spinners flock and so far I think I will have shetland and blue faced leicester sheep. I know that we want to also raise some other animals to provide food as well. I will have an incredible garden and have enough to take to the farmers market to sell as well. I look forward to this year as be a healthy, happy and prosperous one not only for my family but for you my family and friends. I hope everyone has an awesome week!</div><div> </div><div>Ciao,</div><div>CW</div>UniquelymeNanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03687782614754711515noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299556042880231351.post-1957293139745783722009-09-14T16:20:00.004-05:002009-09-14T17:53:31.215-05:00What a beautiful Anniversary weekend !!I tell you I am truely blessed to have such a caring, loving and God fearing husband. This past weekend we celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary. He took me to Kemah, TX and all I can say is he spoiled me like I have never be spoiled/treat in my life!! This is us in the Lobby of the Boardwalk Inn in Kemah. What an incredible time!! Our room was relaxing and we had a waterview as well as a view of the grand stand and we listened to an awesome Jazz/Zydeco band Friday night. We did a lot of walking and took naps so we could get our second wind to go and do more walking and window shoppin lol.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVf68qZnwo58BixHJm7ZVd1ujA7TyErAZmXc_Tgh1t3iCEM9pY6owSLa9yGcyy9oojczhVf3NZllnqQWeKym-tV_RpHUGMmXEBh6wqO89kyKLH1ARBDQamH2tUKGayHbVkmFTtZBwQJ4Q/s1600-h/Pictures-9-10-2009+092.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381437771670680498" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVf68qZnwo58BixHJm7ZVd1ujA7TyErAZmXc_Tgh1t3iCEM9pY6owSLa9yGcyy9oojczhVf3NZllnqQWeKym-tV_RpHUGMmXEBh6wqO89kyKLH1ARBDQamH2tUKGayHbVkmFTtZBwQJ4Q/s400/Pictures-9-10-2009+092.jpg" /></a> <div> I love Kemah and I got to sit along the board walk and just listen to the surf and smell the salt air. We had an incredible time, it was rather nice being able to sleep and not have the sound of Angus snoring or Rita's sighing during the night lol. We meet an old friend of Michael's from back in the day when he used to go to Kemah when their was an Air Show in the area he and a few other soldiers stayed at the in. It was nice to meet Janet, a wonderful spirit-filled woman of God. <div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj27VXEgAV9jFBK07n74Cf2EogYMcLPzPmUJzjGSC0TQSe8OhM6jTt35Gou4l8gGoB2CtCRmwJrkZaEuBiuZuaMqT_Yjoy35lHuh878f7m68pYUArCXiHGshLHacZbY_SFwzar3EsPv-XM/s1600-h/Pictures-9-10-2009+038.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381437757879844546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj27VXEgAV9jFBK07n74Cf2EogYMcLPzPmUJzjGSC0TQSe8OhM6jTt35Gou4l8gGoB2CtCRmwJrkZaEuBiuZuaMqT_Yjoy35lHuh878f7m68pYUArCXiHGshLHacZbY_SFwzar3EsPv-XM/s400/Pictures-9-10-2009+038.jpg" /></a> This ride here was interesting to "watch" I am really not that much of a ride person and I just enjoyed looking at others who chose to get there minute or 2 of thrill and scream their heads off lol. They had this one ride called the "Inverter", (the ride to the left in picture, you can see the top of the red and blue column) sweet Jesus up in heaven. This ride swings back and forth but it goes up and it is "inverted" so that you are completely upside down. I watched as these crazy people got on this ride. One little girl ran off the ride and clung to her mom for about 5 minutes she was so scared after riding on it.<br /></div><div>They also have this huge roller coaster called the "BEAST" and the tracks are wooden. It is being serviced so it was closed. I'll have pictures posted on flickr later this week. The below picture is of our room it was very nice and relaxing there was the pool and spa on the 3rd floor.

But first the initial design. I have cast on already and I think I will do two pattern repeats then add the contrast for a repeat or two. But I now need to find a yarn shop where I can have them order the Louisa Harding Sari Ribbon yarn for me, unless the local yarn shop will order it for me. I figure if I order 10 skeins 5 different colorways that wouldbe a good order for them to place for me.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioqd4R77NqzRi0yfum1gJxY7VVCifiVfiI7WaZZE1zdPA3_1WJWtvT3zuBSnke2C2-dOnpWGagd9hgjMBE_nsM_GRCRtciokNHXvyuc59yHJx0nwnoEf22lXmenYJ0gCHAAR5dsWF0-84/s1600-h/Colors+for+Mystique.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376002341169918466" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioqd4R77NqzRi0yfum1gJxY7VVCifiVfiI7WaZZE1zdPA3_1WJWtvT3zuBSnke2C2-dOnpWGagd9hgjMBE_nsM_GRCRtciokNHXvyuc59yHJx0nwnoEf22lXmenYJ0gCHAAR5dsWF0-84/s400/Colors+for+Mystique.jpg" /></a> Well that should be it for now I need to get my strawberries with lime and go sit knit and watch a movie before I call it a day.

So catch ya on the flip side. Oh yes the kids are back in school WOOHOO!

I mean that little guy was barking and growling like a crazed animal when he saw Iggy in the hall way. It was not until I started screamed that Michael came running. You see I do not handle Iggy at all and when he gets loose Michael hauls hiney to get him. It was so funny to see him try to runny on the tile floor and even funnier when he got on the rubber floor in his domain he looked like a awkward road runner on 4-legs lol.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikjDDkKQ9XmleJIvl2CE91q-izaBUvy_ehjMjMsPhiGYBWA9j-I6MleXypvvD8p-RUG8_KzS6W-6u5GaG-BC4KNE-Lo5H-gkKLs2DmFOMIsjyF_W1aGxhh7H4AWL0R2SDWp9I-eGv_wrE/s1600-h/Iggy+escape+-perched+on+hamper.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375961276004760162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikjDDkKQ9XmleJIvl2CE91q-izaBUvy_ehjMjMsPhiGYBWA9j-I6MleXypvvD8p-RUG8_KzS6W-6u5GaG-BC4KNE-Lo5H-gkKLs2DmFOMIsjyF_W1aGxhh7H4AWL0R2SDWp9I-eGv_wrE/s400/Iggy+escape+-perched+on+hamper.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6u5WVhPfku49dH05Wiop5_ho26q8SOu8c-oXdF_nQGU9g3kpyztohihHO5wzZ55zNv_GUzEts-CcvzpU3tHFN8hDxh_URGeOpugU8Xri3SaJlLLFUCUz88zCcK-wu1e-6HNgfQhKxWWg/s1600-h/Iggy+escape+-+Makin%27+a+run+for+it.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375961271522263938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6u5WVhPfku49dH05Wiop5_ho26q8SOu8c-oXdF_nQGU9g3kpyztohihHO5wzZ55zNv_GUzEts-CcvzpU3tHFN8hDxh_URGeOpugU8Xri3SaJlLLFUCUz88zCcK-wu1e-6HNgfQhKxWWg/s400/Iggy+escape+-+Makin%27+a+run+for+it.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzFNX6dfMLXJSVtztZvoZCAxpdQAWU6K51YSyb1oXssgiE-40Q9GyLgW2b9wmKObzQ6G2hYW9jaPalgMDdVd8NgwjrTSA_K79NLJ-TAJNajoeqa5J9Ap3B2Bj-p_PAX1i7jOAj5HxpHD4/s1600-h/Me+and+my+cowl.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375961262998846818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzFNX6dfMLXJSVtztZvoZCAxpdQAWU6K51YSyb1oXssgiE-40Q9GyLgW2b9wmKObzQ6G2hYW9jaPalgMDdVd8NgwjrTSA_K79NLJ-TAJNajoeqa5J9Ap3B2Bj-p_PAX1i7jOAj5HxpHD4/s400/Me+and+my+cowl.jpg" /></a> Well I have had one crazy week end and I only hope that this week will be much better lol. I made this it is a ravelry pattern called Marian and it was so darn easy to knit up. If I was not watching a movie I probably would have had it done is less than 90 minutes. The designer is an awesome person too.<br /><br />I just deleted the picture of the yarn for my pattern I designed so I will have to put it in another post.

Had a pretty good day, though the stomach gave me a few issues. I had spinach salad with crispy chicken, bacon, hard boiled egg, apples (not I removed them lol) with balsamic dressing it tasted good and I felt fine. But at around 11 Sunday morning my stomach started. Last night was Iggy's turn to play escape artist lol. Michael was working on his models, painting them and he has to sit at the other desk (he has 3 one of which is in a closet) . Well I guess Iggy wanted to see what papa was doing because papa left the office so he got down off of the shelf and monitor and proceeded into the hallway. Well all I heard was oh damn, we've got an escapee on the run. So I am figuring that it is Ganster again. Then I hear him say oh there you are you better get back in the room before moma catches you.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD1JFKiZbgXrTi9VgSOdzWIJQMNntYwL3vjCUPXgsZNuiByasgSHKbfvqYMUQbKVgNXK7iGsWZ_TYRvFeM7QKPmspvSszqecas6JjtOzIWBgfVcpay9XAzExsosxVN3gJck6V4DL2D01I/s1600-h/Iggy+escape+-+Makin%27+a+run+for+it.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373396935061214370" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD1JFKiZbgXrTi9VgSOdzWIJQMNntYwL3vjCUPXgsZNuiByasgSHKbfvqYMUQbKVgNXK7iGsWZ_TYRvFeM7QKPmspvSszqecas6JjtOzIWBgfVcpay9XAzExsosxVN3gJck6V4DL2D01I/s400/Iggy+escape+-+Makin%27+a+run+for+it.jpg" /></a> Well he crawled up on the hamper and it looked like he was trying to hide behind the rug shampooer lol. He looked so funny, but let me tell you when he got on to the floor and started to run I snatched up my baby Angus (toy poodle not human child) and did my rendition of the moonwalk lol. I thought Michael was going to bust his gut he was laughing so hard lol. Anyway I hope you all had a nice Sunday and I will write more later today. It is time for some tea and a movie while I work on the shawl (I know, but I can watch when I finish each row lol).<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBvmB3WZps4H6uHsogYnnHw3YVfYlg4cAjfLraLgt2jVFJsUeBle_TZSCMBhlYTUMMZR6Paau5mI3HQBVF4eREinr8QJDLldeiz9o_H08xOvL6TP-PLhyphenhyphenn97HaLAk5Bgozb9skhnQmaDQ/s1600-h/Iggy+escape+-perched+on+hamper.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373396923350751058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBvmB3WZps4H6uHsogYnnHw3YVfYlg4cAjfLraLgt2jVFJsUeBle_TZSCMBhlYTUMMZR6Paau5mI3HQBVF4eREinr8QJDLldeiz9o_H08xOvL6TP-PLhyphenhyphenn97HaLAk5Bgozb9skhnQmaDQ/s400/Iggy+escape+-perched+on+hamper.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaUtVwCAKas3J1Vtny4a76u7sVCH7wz7P91RfB07TsMhSBfHkYuBhYhW1MU9SRDciNOJRrlCE6MiTj2oWzCvEhgArG6wKxLfCrSXOkQ23ta_c26CEzBbfKznlnQS3A8DyfBX6Dtqh5EKw/s1600-h/Iggy+escape+route.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373396917124413906" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaUtVwCAKas3J1Vtny4a76u7sVCH7wz7P91RfB07TsMhSBfHkYuBhYhW1MU9SRDciNOJRrlCE6MiTj2oWzCvEhgArG6wKxLfCrSXOkQ23ta_c26CEzBbfKznlnQS3A8DyfBX6Dtqh5EKw/s400/Iggy+escape+route.jpg" /></a> Anyway I finally got the hang of the provisional cast on. I found a Lucy Neatby tutorial video and I did the crochet on one and wow it was real easy in my own opinion. Anyway I am on row 9 now and tis is definately a pattern that until you have it down you best not talk or try to do anything else when knitting it cause you'll mess up. How do I know cause I had to back track (I so hate the words frog or rip) 4 times before I got it right lol. I even made some special stitch markers for the project as well. I made the especially for sock or lace knitting. These though are special I used fresh water pearls, red coral, carnelian and mother of pearl. I think I might even make a pair of earrings too, because they look so nice together.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0YkS8fYKlA93kNmvFyU_NCYIzLibrMrSD5w3MQJT4wKuP4R0DtD5AC3hCrXqHA7T_TFhrMqMOYRm3wCKxPFrE7YSowPFgkwlMNzUnsGDifs9cIRw_kIJAKgUUt9uSE6QAZqFJnOxfjuU/s1600-h/Boxleaf+Triangle.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373396912788224482" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0YkS8fYKlA93kNmvFyU_NCYIzLibrMrSD5w3MQJT4wKuP4R0DtD5AC3hCrXqHA7T_TFhrMqMOYRm3wCKxPFrE7YSowPFgkwlMNzUnsGDifs9cIRw_kIJAKgUUt9uSE6QAZqFJnOxfjuU/s400/Boxleaf+Triangle.jpg" /></a><br />Well it is time to sign off so I can have my tea and watch my british detective program (I love the british programs). I taped PBS Mystry they are running the Inspector Lewis series 1 now. I was watching the insoector Morse series and Lewis was his partner.

I think I will pick out a guy's name for this one. I got this at a steal of a deal and I am very excited about it too! This month has been crazy and horribly humid and hot. Nothing worse then walking into your pool and the water is like bath water and this is around 10:30 at night. Or going outside and the air feeling so heavy, I have basically stayed inside except to go for my daily walks early in the morning. Rain where the hell is the damn rain!!!! We need it so badly here it is not funny. The only thing that is growing is the damn weeds and somehow my hibiscus lol. I saw a humming bird on Thursday morning getting nectar from one of the bright red flowers, it was so cute and boy are they tiny. That is the first time I've seen one up here since being down in San Antonio back in March. I used to see them every morning when I would go out for my morning smoke lol.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRj9FK7X9ifhMqVHIAT1k1Q8zHU-Hx8sLg4oF8m_IYfO_Q7q6sEx4L9yNQMWl9deXPRIERLJeTfp_Pw8JpiWj0RxzP-a0w7wn7MZmlv011WGrTrQE2C-H-3W2xDwgv1Oekor0iCRe76Rk/s1600-h/The+sleeping+amigo%27s.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373014555794266402" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRj9FK7X9ifhMqVHIAT1k1Q8zHU-Hx8sLg4oF8m_IYfO_Q7q6sEx4L9yNQMWl9deXPRIERLJeTfp_Pw8JpiWj0RxzP-a0w7wn7MZmlv011WGrTrQE2C-H-3W2xDwgv1Oekor0iCRe76Rk/s400/The+sleeping+amigo%27s.jpg" /></a> This here is the 3-amigo's sleeping, this is what our room looks like at 3 in the morning when I can't sleep. So I decided I was going to take a pick. When I can't sleep I sit on the chest at the foot of the bed and spin or I will sit in bed propped up with a pillow or two and knit, play computer games on lap top or spin via drop spindle an watch a movie. I did finish spinning up 8.8 ozs. of masham wool in Turkish Delight that I have already stated to knint into the Boxleaf Triangle. Which is a knitspot.com pattern, it is a beautiful shall and it comes in 3 sizes. So in order to do this shall I had to teach myself how to do a provisional cast on and I watch a tutorial video and got a crochet hook and did it. It was a little tricky the first few stitches of the cast-on. So I am really going to try to have this made by Sept. 10 which is our 3rd anniversary. But isn't the yarn coloring gorgeous? I got 340 yds. of single ply at about 24 WPI's. I have another 7.3 ozs. to spin up so that I will have 700 yds. complete project the project. <div> </div><div> </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiixlUfgeT9gh8vMfi1Olwqh0kqz2VwOnCHC3SD2SLZvXihyoYDOvnpghfqry1k0-qWfdRjgn0VwA1tO9wZDwJRLIY84hDMFdtHVUoeq58U5xO1o_RliqXTRJcrS2EeMW3QvTN4JM4uYdI/s1600-h/Turkish+Delight++Spun-up.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373014545963896706" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiixlUfgeT9gh8vMfi1Olwqh0kqz2VwOnCHC3SD2SLZvXihyoYDOvnpghfqry1k0-qWfdRjgn0VwA1tO9wZDwJRLIY84hDMFdtHVUoeq58U5xO1o_RliqXTRJcrS2EeMW3QvTN4JM4uYdI/s400/Turkish+Delight++Spun-up.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /></div><div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOT_Ap4D6TFj-QZQG8cl-azYxcRDzQbmga2H_hImKt1EasjbCs70mEotvShF2rJYbAE8z5YVeMk0U1nYXpb-qZ0Q3uBf-bWas9ExxXWsk0aqvenuGDTomVX7TSc1bKju3igFUW5ytrbsM/s1600-h/Gangster+the+Big+Boy+%232.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373014540878287874" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOT_Ap4D6TFj-QZQG8cl-azYxcRDzQbmga2H_hImKt1EasjbCs70mEotvShF2rJYbAE8z5YVeMk0U1nYXpb-qZ0Q3uBf-bWas9ExxXWsk0aqvenuGDTomVX7TSc1bKju3igFUW5ytrbsM/s400/Gangster+the+Big+Boy+%232.jpg" /></a><br />This here is the escape artist Gangster. He got out of the cage last week Saturday and for several hours we looked for him and I finally found him on the shelf way in back against the wall behind Michael's head band and a piece of wool sleeping. What a little bugger he is. We have to get him a play mate now because he is escaping to look for one of his own kind. So we will see Doris and Don next weekend to see if they have any girls that we can get. We figure get 2 more and that will work as for his company. Though we will have to keep them apart for about 2 months so the females will be bigger. Gangster is almost 6 inches long and he loves to thumb wrestle with Michael and he gives Michael a rash of crap too lol.<br /><br /><div>This hat below is the second baby hat that I have made. This one is for Parker Sletten and I am making one for his brother Jaxon the same colors only reversed.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhub4UEoGM_72tiYZzhymAh6wh6-dnMkIwkckkOqQwfPdMeDYaGMff6MzH0nbVaR08s0XS20bpRb7ViawBA_1rvOYXB6_Pj8HadbCXLqCpmAR7wI2_Pg60YR5gjdfpkHm7pEUNggqylENA/s1600-h/Parker's+Hat+%231.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373014529199490498" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhub4UEoGM_72tiYZzhymAh6wh6-dnMkIwkckkOqQwfPdMeDYaGMff6MzH0nbVaR08s0XS20bpRb7ViawBA_1rvOYXB6_Pj8HadbCXLqCpmAR7wI2_Pg60YR5gjdfpkHm7pEUNggqylENA/s400/Parker's+Hat+%231.jpg" /></a> So I am working on the shawl, Daja shrug that I have to frog all of the contrasting part of the sleeve because I have to knit I think 12 more rows of the black then the contrast. That's what I get for putting it down for a month then picking it back up. I forgot that after you finish one sleeve you take the other one off the stitch holders and knot "BLACK" first then contrast dah moment. Then I will do Jaxon's hat. I also have another baby hat that I am making for the KNOW guild project. There is a young lady that is getting her Goal or Gold badge which is what is needed to she can be the female version of an Eagle Scout. Well it is late and my lower back is creaming must be fixin' to rain or something cause the joints are starting to hurt so I will go and take my bedtime sugar reading get my beverage and take me knitting and retire. Tomorrow is early to church for class then knitting with the gals at Starbuck's for a couple of hours. </div><div> </div><div>Have a reat Sunday all!</div><div>CW</div><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div></div></div>UniquelymeNanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03687782614754711515noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299556042880231351.post-63873365682892296852009-08-07T01:14:00.003-05:002009-08-07T01:45:41.800-05:00Hello World<a href="http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZKxdm011YYUS" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Hello" src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_29_124.gif" /></a> ,<a href="http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZKxdm011YYUS" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Hello" src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_29_124.gif" /></a><br /><br />Yes it has been a long time since I've blogged. June was both a sad and happy month. My Aunt Adeline died in June due to diabetic complications, while I was in hospital. then later in the month our grandmother celebrated her 90th birthday!! July was crazy having to get used to being newly diagnoised diabetic. Anyway as far as fiber goes I have been doing pretty good keepin busy. I have been working on Daja's shrug it will be finished so she can wear it in Sept. I finished a baby hat and I have started another that is part of a set for twin boys. I purchased the Boxleaf Shawl pattern from knitspot.com pattern shop and I spun up the yarn myself. I used the fiber from the Southern Cross Fibre Club that I joined through ravelry.com. I love ravelry, I have made some very nice friends there. I have pictured of the hat and the fiber and the begining of the spinning. I also have pictures to post of other things I've been up to. I hope to get a lesson on how to start the actual weaving process next week then watch world cause I'll be weaving like a crazy woman lol.<br /><br />This picture is of the start of the new hat I am making for the Sletten twins. This is so easy and I love Fair Isle knitting too so easy and to think I was afraid to do it and have so far knitting 2 different patterns though both have been hats. I hope to make a felted purse next month.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCd8r4Dfzxad8M3bVC7NSyxyUNqZzrPz3IOsUddXPUStuiUhw11T21Jz2NGNhOUrklyFxtqvIWpwxTVWCTErGdmkHyvwVFqazaW5pnW2MdwZXiXXxuwIXftSIjF2k8g0D5WJkjjwKBezk/s1600-h/Yarn+for+Parker+%26+Jaxson+%27s+Hats.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367104401527782642" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCd8r4Dfzxad8M3bVC7NSyxyUNqZzrPz3IOsUddXPUStuiUhw11T21Jz2NGNhOUrklyFxtqvIWpwxTVWCTErGdmkHyvwVFqazaW5pnW2MdwZXiXXxuwIXftSIjF2k8g0D5WJkjjwKBezk/s400/Yarn+for+Parker+%26+Jaxson+%27s+Hats.jpg" /></a>This here is the Masham wool fibre that I got for my May installment of Southern Cross Fibre Club. I ordered 8 more ounces so that I would have enough to spin up for my Boxleaf Shawl that I am anxious to start knitting. The yarn is drying now, and then once dry I will wind into a center pull ball and start knitting my goal is to have it done by Sept. 9th so I can wear it for our 3rd anniversary.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqhbDAL5MOxbJSal8pDQzDDqqc76um4ojURLdknPc1pI69qvdbQc3BhjoKdBnQV9BdhHJDsESJeMaA7E8loD5tPuV92ao0nPUrQuSAZoo4-_oIZ7_j5Ogxeydw1ikJQoSgdDjQ6dBZK64/s1600-h/Turkish+Delight.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367104397824844994" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqhbDAL5MOxbJSal8pDQzDDqqc76um4ojURLdknPc1pI69qvdbQc3BhjoKdBnQV9BdhHJDsESJeMaA7E8loD5tPuV92ao0nPUrQuSAZoo4-_oIZ7_j5Ogxeydw1ikJQoSgdDjQ6dBZK64/s400/Turkish+Delight.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqGST-rFLwRhS4s47POv2lJXlzddIkSdPam1IdF3qeZ-h5Fd4f9phmZ7pta0KGF9wbgEZyfR8ECBh8nl4TLFkPz0UqgKicwsVE-Pjd7wTvU3mtBFmczGYck5Kf3l_oiPjpK19mrlQgEhU/s1600-h/Just+started-Turkish+Delight.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367104398406568626" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqGST-rFLwRhS4s47POv2lJXlzddIkSdPam1IdF3qeZ-h5Fd4f9phmZ7pta0KGF9wbgEZyfR8ECBh8nl4TLFkPz0UqgKicwsVE-Pjd7wTvU3mtBFmczGYck5Kf3l_oiPjpK19mrlQgEhU/s400/Just+started-Turkish+Delight.jpg" /></a> Here is the baby hat, it was fun knitting it and it would have taken me only 3 days had I not had a few days that I was sick.

It took me a bit and I tried all the suggestions that my friends had given me. Then I decide to cut the yarn and unravel it a bit. Well at first I was worried when I got 3 separate pieces come loose. But then I got the end and I was able to open it up a bit and then I just added new fiber and bingo she is back.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNTccqR9aUn35aKS9iDdp6oRwGnOx3attVIyaZboZ3T8ClnA48X8YsyxI2fqTo4K3X87UcGP6zwU8eUjyZS__get8TLv7ExsHAkL9sJReHxkcnzgq8xU2Rhuaj9tWVhdodvR3ckDk-qZs/s1600-h/Masham+wool+Turkish+Taffy+-+lost+end.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344816630203365922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNTccqR9aUn35aKS9iDdp6oRwGnOx3attVIyaZboZ3T8ClnA48X8YsyxI2fqTo4K3X87UcGP6zwU8eUjyZS__get8TLv7ExsHAkL9sJReHxkcnzgq8xU2Rhuaj9tWVhdodvR3ckDk-qZs/s400/Masham+wool+Turkish+Taffy+-+lost+end.jpg" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-size:130%;">This is such a beautiful colorway called "Turkish Taffy", it is Masham wool and it is one of the fibers that I got from the Southern Cross Fibre Club. I blong to the group on ravelry and let me tell you every month I get fiber and each time I am pleasantly surprised. Savid does an outstanding job with his colorways and the choices of wool as well. Anyway I just had to add this tidbit in before calling it a night. Tomorrow is sort of a busy day, usual Monday "NOT" and Tuesday is dentist but just for a cleaning and to have a crown cemented back in. Plus a blood draw have to have the ole comoudin level checked ugh!!!!!!!!!! Well I guess it must be late cause Mr. Angus is sleeping on their pink bunny pillow and he is just snoring away lol. Sometimes if he is sleeping near my pillow I think it is Michael snoring lol.

The picture does not do them justice there colors are more vibrant and richer. I can harly wait to start spinning them. The loom is finally dressed now I am ready the section on "throwing" the shuttle part lol. "Duck, run for cover " lol, no for real I won't be throwing in a sence where somebody better watch out, it is a term used when oyu slide the shuttle throw the shed. I have had to regroup my stitch markers and will be making all the sets with six. I do not know why I thought that they came 4 or 5 to a set lol. Well I am off fornow I have to see what I will do for dinner, maybe we'll go out or order a pizza. I've lost 2 more pounds, "DO NOT" ask me how but I did and that makes me a little happy. Well I will post again later so that I can show off my latest fibre arrival for the month of May from the SCFC. David does an awesome job with his dyeing of the fibers. Plus this is a great way to try new fiber out and then you can decide if it is something that you want to add more of to your stay lol.</div><div> </div><div>Ciao,</div><div>CW<br /><br /><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNl1BMSlKJxK0N8FCE9pP7A3Afvdt-0TO8IzQyfQcQW2vTvQm5Qj1QyCjYm-lW2nLWDK1OrXwbFtcjGufQnO5gMaJOGUmgkDw9VkUIjUPpHT-HilqdXLbeD0rk7zTdJAheoppyIV381kU/s1600-h/Edward+Batts+%232.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344718115544779250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNl1BMSlKJxK0N8FCE9pP7A3Afvdt-0TO8IzQyfQcQW2vTvQm5Qj1QyCjYm-lW2nLWDK1OrXwbFtcjGufQnO5gMaJOGUmgkDw9VkUIjUPpHT-HilqdXLbeD0rk7zTdJAheoppyIV381kU/s400/Edward+Batts+%232.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>UniquelymeNanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03687782614754711515noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299556042880231351.post-46476341326797359292009-06-07T17:02:00.001-05:002009-06-07T17:02:17.807-05:00Etsy :: Teak and Bronzite<a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=16208965">Etsy :: Teak and Bronzite</a><br /><br />Shared via <a href="http://addthis.com">AddThis</a><br /><br />UniquelymeNanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03687782614754711515noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299556042880231351.post-15373754923750153342009-06-03T20:55:00.004-05:002009-06-03T21:14:28.419-05:00Lovely June ~ So far<strong>Wow June has arrived man the time is flying by this year.

So that makes me happy, yesterday we went to LaPorte, TX as I needed to get my next set of Perle Cotton for my next projects that I will be weaving. </strong><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLmCGwwevNv7zuLbnSsd8mWeMHFtiVzggxoEchOfTGiQidTlK-Z5kTmoR46mUgb4tbid_ZvGodllAsycvbhDYV4LxXQr5fRPRGlkYlaIN194o5dibJhHZaBrTA7NJNmZMgVeWSfrUJVJ0/s1600-h/Handspun+Swap+Group.jpg"><strong><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343288988025600546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLmCGwwevNv7zuLbnSsd8mWeMHFtiVzggxoEchOfTGiQidTlK-Z5kTmoR46mUgb4tbid_ZvGodllAsycvbhDYV4LxXQr5fRPRGlkYlaIN194o5dibJhHZaBrTA7NJNmZMgVeWSfrUJVJ0/s400/Handspun+Swap+Group.jpg" border="0" /></strong></a><strong> (This is my swap I got from one of the online group from ravelry.com, look at all the skeins of yarn I got!!)</strong><br /><strong></strong><br /><strong>Most of the new colors are 3/2 cotton and only one was a 5/2.

Clean their cages on Friday. PK likes his daily romping around the front room. He is matted so I work on cutting the matts out for a bit then he is set free to go an play with Angus. It is so funny to see then chase each other. Rita could care less she just chills on her spot on the couch. We are going to price materials so we can fix replace the water damaged wood out front and then replace the flimsy column with the proper sized one. This is after we hand in a permission form and get an approval from the HOA. It will be great when we no longer have to pay HOA dues and deal with them. Some of them can be really ridiculous I tell you.

It was so much easier for me since I was able to watch someone physically do and explain while doing and I took helpful notes. I also learned that I did the warp correctly except I counted wrong and ended up with 30 in each counting group so I will have a shawl and not a scarf for my first project. So I am presently taking a break from threading and figured I'd do a blog entry. I am just about finished with my 2nd batch of stitch markers. Then this weekend I will start pulling some yarn that I spun out and lable it so that come the 1st I can start posting my items online. So excited, last night Michael and I looked at property in MO online and we saw some very nice places. One had 40 acres with 2 creeks one tht was spring feed year-round and the other was seasonal. Plus 2 pounds. It was fenced and cross-fenced had several out building a workshop that was 40x75 and had a kitchen and bath in it. @ barns for animals and one for hay, gardens galore some of which were for flowers and it was about 1.5 miles off of the main road, so that means peace and quiet lol. I tell you I can almost taste those farm fresh eggs, plus it will be great to hang clothes out to dry in good weahter. This plae also had a wood furnish which is awesome and there is plenty of room to put up solar panel grids as well. Plus a stocked pond, which means Michael could fish till his hearts content lol. Yes MO get cold in the winter but nothing like NEW Englad cold and I am looking forward to having the 4 seasons again. A friend already said that she would set us up with some sheep!! How cool it that so we are just waiting to get VA crap cleared up. I am praying that the Lord will mak things right so we can move before Christmas. Well I need to get back to the loom and will have pictures to show later tonight or tomorrow. I hope y'all are having a good week!<br /><br />CWUniquelymeNanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03687782614754711515noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299556042880231351.post-75388962515275652462009-05-24T15:04:00.008-05:002009-05-24T18:34:20.199-05:00Crazy Busy Month!!<strong>Ok,<br />This month has been a somewhat crazy month and I did get some things accomplished.

I have been coming up with color combinations and I have been logging them into my "weaver" sketch and color book. I did start the process of cleaning my office and did make a little headway, but I think once I get my other shelves in I will be able to get things in order. I have been feeling like crap for several weeks now and I eat when I feel hungry only to end up feeling like I have to hurl. I have been cramping up something fierce, Friday night wa the worst!! I kept having charlie horse cramps in my stomach, ribs and in my neck. The ones in my neck would go from the bottom of my neck right to the base of my skull. </strong></div><div><strong>So I walked around smelling like a mint stick lol. I used the absorbine linament and that seemed to help a bit. Plus I feel like I have a lump in my through, ya like when you swollow the wrong way and you get that lump in your throat until it goes down. So Monday I place a call to my doc to make an appointment to see what going on. Thing on the home front are good, getting ready to lock horns with the VA regional office yet again, somtimes I can understand why some veteerans would rather not use the services we have, cause they sometimes cause more problems than they're worth! Right now we are gettin estimates on what it would cost to get the outside of the house done. Since now that the home owners association has sent out a list of new fines. We need gutter work and the water damaged wood has to be replaced all stuff not covered by the insurance. This is damage from Ike. So now once we get all the estimates in we have to submit them to the FD depatment to get approval. Then I think once all this work gets done we will look to move. </strong></div><div><strong>We are done with TX, it may have some advantages for it's veterans, but the "personal" cost is not worth the headaches that follow. Plus they are building 2 hospitals less than 10 minutes away from where we live and the traffic is already a bear at certain times so this will only get worse. So we are looking to move to one of these areas MO, FL , Northern Arizona and Northern New Mexico. So anyone in these areas know of any 5+ acre hobby farms for sale? Have an awesome week all and I will be posting more pictures later this week of stuff. Right now I am going to put dinner on the table. I made Michael's favorite Liver smothered in onions & mushrooms with gravy, mash potatoes & corn. I'll have small piec of live with onions and shrooms corn and a salad. The question is will I be able to eat, so far I have only had a small slice of strawberry cake and that was at 6:30 this morning with my coffee. I got sick and went back to bed.

We have finally gotten the loom in it's some what permanent place until I think it will look better somewhere else in the front room lol. For awhile I thought I was out in the Amazon. For several night we had a Toad serenade, it was mating time and let me tell you I wanted to go and spray sleeping gas in the damn yarn. They maybe be small but sweet Lord in heaven they are wicked loud especially when you have 25+ in your back yard and they are all looking for a potential mate. I mean even with the bedroom windows closed they were loud. Every few hours Michael would have to do toad rescue and fish them out of the swimming pool. Then there was the "Big Bopper", yes the big bopper was about the size of a silver dollar and that was the green tree frog. I swore that our neighbor had a duckling in his yard until Michael caught the little guy. Man they are loud little ones as well, but the mating season seems to have finished. Thank you Jesus now I can listen to nice instrumental music at night to sleep by. This here is the "Big Bopper":<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiNaMoFHLQdmj5upLM3BE_Ugrbroqi0B0h7H4rSRp_UtYcmRUcdnFJfGuUY-RrAIqDh7IGE8W9uP-YaulN2AbuXbRJi8izfk3wF8MwsEbwClwPghHN-0WKirnKByF8v-IFwIWV0jBD7aE/s1600-h/Big+Bopper.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334775350855591602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiNaMoFHLQdmj5upLM3BE_Ugrbroqi0B0h7H4rSRp_UtYcmRUcdnFJfGuUY-RrAIqDh7IGE8W9uP-YaulN2AbuXbRJi8izfk3wF8MwsEbwClwPghHN-0WKirnKByF8v-IFwIWV0jBD7aE/s400/Big+Bopper.JPG" border="0" /></a> I have been busy doing my reading and what not for weaving. I have already done my warp on the warping board and Michael will help me tranfer that to the loom. I am for ever grateful to Clare for allowing us to get this loom on installments. I purchased a 288 pg. sketchbook that is now my Weaving book, and in it I have pictures of ideas for colorways for weaving and also will have the picture of the color(s) I want to reproduce, the way I want to warp the colors and also samples of the thread/yarn used to weave the project. So I am really excited about this I also have to finish up the yarn that I am using as the weft for my second project. I am also still working on yarn for my mom as well. Then I have my swap that I am doing this month and I am looking forward to doing another Fiber swap with the Fibre Swap group from ravelry. I just love being part of the ravelry community. I have meet some awesome creative women and men there. It is just wonderful, I am hoping to go to maybe 2 Fiber festivals this year. I will be going to the one in Boerne, TX in November hubby already let it be know at last years that this was going to be a yearly thing for us to do. I would love to go to the one in Taos. I know that we can't do the Estes Park one in CO this year because it is next month and finalcially we can't do it. Well I am off to get some things done before going to bed. Have an early day tomorrow I want to hang the drapes in the front room and then finish the warping. <br /><br />Have a great night all,Ciao,<br />CWUniquelymeNanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03687782614754711515noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299556042880231351.post-89376289822299910062009-05-02T18:34:00.004-05:002009-05-02T18:58:54.670-05:00Here she is in here new home<a href="http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZCxdm492YYUS" target="_blank"><img alt="Cinco Dancer" src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/26/26_11_17.gif" border="0" /></a> Hi Y'all Happy Cinco de Mayo,<br />Finally the loom is set up though not warped yet lol. After wiping her down and getting the dust off I rubbed on/in Matco's refurbishing oil and let it set for about 40 minutes and then wiped it off. The wood has a beautiful Carmel color and I named her "Carmelita". Here are some pic's of her and the accessories:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFtOB99PN5SxhO-NhlDvZDswijXTNu3JSDsUqF7wbrSnr_e12N0pg86DoPznuXeVzExL6WA-t4C2F_HvrATL1aEzMDTuuuWF0njSSPuRKv2_LOdzyVcH587c1YxaNw1Kq0TMB0H9nwPoQ/s1600-h/Carmelita+-+Side+view.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331376748809694146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFtOB99PN5SxhO-NhlDvZDswijXTNu3JSDsUqF7wbrSnr_e12N0pg86DoPznuXeVzExL6WA-t4C2F_HvrATL1aEzMDTuuuWF0njSSPuRKv2_LOdzyVcH587c1YxaNw1Kq0TMB0H9nwPoQ/s400/Carmelita+-+Side+view.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7JE3501csZVbeNrCWOQdpx-QfMKdaqdp95ICcWtfqU_qpE3nE2D5nAWTosS9Ef5215ymoqO2F3BodWk2GagiE9O0G92-AgrJ1BsfqB8xArr73anJwaoZI6BRAD3w1NiM4POC6-1GwCao/s1600-h/Carmelita+-+Back+view.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331376743465785010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7JE3501csZVbeNrCWOQdpx-QfMKdaqdp95ICcWtfqU_qpE3nE2D5nAWTosS9Ef5215ymoqO2F3BodWk2GagiE9O0G92-AgrJ1BsfqB8xArr73anJwaoZI6BRAD3w1NiM4POC6-1GwCao/s400/Carmelita+-+Back+view.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirsUPLhhZt2uMy0nHbH7fdqx8CjFw44u6RYWv4TbAPLhhDiCyD-iiPbQuwyjFCjejn769ZRK3TKCkmwRkEuHgOJZXtVb0y-EnqPjuPsf1wDA9fdPKk9bmgR-GxZoYxgUVBj3fPTIRMNxg/s1600-h/Accessories+I+got+-+table+is+ours.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331376738044439442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirsUPLhhZt2uMy0nHbH7fdqx8CjFw44u6RYWv4TbAPLhhDiCyD-iiPbQuwyjFCjejn769ZRK3TKCkmwRkEuHgOJZXtVb0y-EnqPjuPsf1wDA9fdPKk9bmgR-GxZoYxgUVBj3fPTIRMNxg/s400/Accessories+I+got+-+table+is+ours.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><strong>She is not warped yet I am doing my home work reading an then watch a video on how that is done first. </strong><strong>Have moved things around in the office to now <a href="http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZCxdm492YYUS" target="_blank"></a> accommodate Mr. PK now.

I have to do another bunny butt cleaning and then tomorrow trim the area and that should take care of any future problems.

I think I will move the rabbit into my fiber room/office and the sugar glider into the guest bedroom hmmmmmmmmm. Then this way I will have plenty of room for the Loom. I am so excited I think I will get 5/2 perle cotton from tracy and dye it a beautiful color to use first on the loom then graduate up to using the tencel. Anyway here it is the loom, I am just so jazzed, excited tickled every color of the rainbow over this new venture that I have been blessed with. I want to come up with at least 2 signature colors that only I have and a certain way to weave a design so that no one else can copy it and then that will be my unique mark! I have been getting ideas for color set ups by looking at pictures I've taken of flowers. Plus I have been working on some new batts that are unique in color as well.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi7Jm-B8IrHciYFGMa9IH6Njh3q79_HroDqz09_eWFeyuGy6vWN2EPmxBziBpjdGtmhokSfLotJPkO-zl622_aGjfpkjSittkqLo0Il0ljXJc7Q629umUs97LqHS5xB-kMRCRxWWxQ9VM/s1600-h/Gilmore+Bench.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330656945714582082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi7Jm-B8IrHciYFGMa9IH6Njh3q79_HroDqz09_eWFeyuGy6vWN2EPmxBziBpjdGtmhokSfLotJPkO-zl622_aGjfpkjSittkqLo0Il0ljXJc7Q629umUs97LqHS5xB-kMRCRxWWxQ9VM/s400/Gilmore+Bench.jpg" border="0" /></a> Notice the draw in th bench I can keep the small things and shuttles & bobbins in there for now!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ9QfMF-hB80n1z_3etYtEwnWpgIVyfxpGejhDBhKS6VeqMoi2bKq0PaOXDIQPFPG8hzYqEhzxSyMSswEJE_7n68kAIiG-gyTQqNK5_mV_PAMzkuQ_AqIOlu3mkJ7YAH5IlAP_BrHVfN0/s1600-h/45-in.+Gilmore+Loom.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330656938788573282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ9QfMF-hB80n1z_3etYtEwnWpgIVyfxpGejhDBhKS6VeqMoi2bKq0PaOXDIQPFPG8hzYqEhzxSyMSswEJE_7n68kAIiG-gyTQqNK5_mV_PAMzkuQ_AqIOlu3mkJ7YAH5IlAP_BrHVfN0/s400/45-in.+Gilmore+Loom.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div>Well I have to run so y'all be good and try to stat dry if ya live in this here area. </div><div> </div><div>Ciao!</div><div>CW</div><div> </div></div></div></div></div>UniquelymeNanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03687782614754711515noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299556042880231351.post-56487594888169590422009-04-19T23:36:00.004-05:002009-04-19T23:47:20.788-05:00She is now completely finished!!Hi all,<br />Well today was a lazy day for us, we over slept and got up at 1:30 cause we talked till 2:30 Sunday morning. We ran an errand had lunch and then came home and I had a doozy of a migraine starting so I took some meds and laid down and got up at 8 p.m. Then I started to put the wheel together and let me tell you it was easy at first until it came to the upright and the darn bottom and I thought I was gonna have a fwe choice words. But alas, I got the power drill and asked for hubby's assistance and got it done. I call her Walela which is the Native American name for "Hummingbird". I hope the pictures come out nicely on here:<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip4ILypSv9hw2-adZc2WzyUK7rZ3zOPcdzygi5EIlsfEcrQWGg77zq84lHvrQy_CrMyzI4fKY7nZn7ICIeXo8hTVLYO9fs9A0R9cz-Ikadkz0y7wFMsbNdz4NuCt34AUHt9jRqhyphenhyphenmOby4/s1600-h/2009_0418NewPictures0052.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326630051314779858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip4ILypSv9hw2-adZc2WzyUK7rZ3zOPcdzygi5EIlsfEcrQWGg77zq84lHvrQy_CrMyzI4fKY7nZn7ICIeXo8hTVLYO9fs9A0R9cz-Ikadkz0y7wFMsbNdz4NuCt34AUHt9jRqhyphenhyphenmOby4/s400/2009_0418NewPictures0052.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1g-zoqa9YROXClHEsUpmhNg1ssxwDsy8uOFGWikTKWsIVuFSFMdpeyA_m1imx8uRO6mZNiqAC6V5xR0EeTu6J9E-i1c5stu8IoDdZ5NELzPCZ6aytlwy7kLIx8F87tqsiQ3v3FCEmKvY/s1600-h/Walela+%235.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326630047253065762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1g-zoqa9YROXClHEsUpmhNg1ssxwDsy8uOFGWikTKWsIVuFSFMdpeyA_m1imx8uRO6mZNiqAC6V5xR0EeTu6J9E-i1c5stu8IoDdZ5NELzPCZ6aytlwy7kLIx8F87tqsiQ3v3FCEmKvY/s400/Walela+%235.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG2jFz1bnPG49jeKWIRflm6ZvMqc8DVZ2g0uzl5hpf8lMOfSsxH-p-jIOz83ODeEEwAGPxlTkmxhgi-YNmMOSCiFB_6jNoHJgBNn_XPAB3b2Q43BVPDucZWSi4xro56ZemuJ5zFkqifkQ/s1600-h/Walela+%234.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326630044965526562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG2jFz1bnPG49jeKWIRflm6ZvMqc8DVZ2g0uzl5hpf8lMOfSsxH-p-jIOz83ODeEEwAGPxlTkmxhgi-YNmMOSCiFB_6jNoHJgBNn_XPAB3b2Q43BVPDucZWSi4xro56ZemuJ5zFkqifkQ/s400/Walela+%234.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx071Z6M5jQPhqkWBagDBkZGF165GtWaA5oPxw1au1I_dSuEU8g25I03IyDGlGnH7fW2uToSNsR7HsVFfIzs2F886WjRaiu5iNnXi_0G7UeaflfPLBzleYK9wB3BgCw53pewzvrHrcoq8/s1600-h/Walela+%233.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326630041193794130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx071Z6M5jQPhqkWBagDBkZGF165GtWaA5oPxw1au1I_dSuEU8g25I03IyDGlGnH7fW2uToSNsR7HsVFfIzs2F886WjRaiu5iNnXi_0G7UeaflfPLBzleYK9wB3BgCw53pewzvrHrcoq8/s400/Walela+%233.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz_OihpaCzlOPg1VWPyuYLFqGuJfI5XgxngXjGBWUuHG-t5x-jYyVqeu3pd8xZNP5boJN_QxxxerUJ24wgXZvKAP0QE7MdEfU0XPq-p4F19eNkeYZXobH-Uz0nC_8dGoNmwiOkt1Hhq4Q/s1600-h/Walela+%231.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326630033306578818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz_OihpaCzlOPg1VWPyuYLFqGuJfI5XgxngXjGBWUuHG-t5x-jYyVqeu3pd8xZNP5boJN_QxxxerUJ24wgXZvKAP0QE7MdEfU0XPq-p4F19eNkeYZXobH-Uz0nC_8dGoNmwiOkt1Hhq4Q/s400/Walela+%231.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div>Well it is late and I need to get some sleep I have a busy day tomorrow and I need to have a clear head for thinking things through.

I hope I do not experience it again. I have not done any spinning in 48 days and I am so glad to be getting back to the fiber world. I stenciled my new wheel, it's a Adiandre wheel. The front side of the wheel is stenciled with hummingbirds and flowers. I will put the high gloss sealer on it after I come home from church . I had my hair cut an dyed and now a couple of weeks later my hair has fallen out. I was over processed and it will take about 2 to 4 months before I'll attempt a different color. This time I want a color that works with my complexion. So I will go to John Michael and let him find the right color for me. In the mean time I will have to deep condition my hair and let it grow out. I received serval fiber packages since I was away and will show picures in the next post. I did finish another project for a friend and I have knitted one gauntlet for myself. I seem to have a certain problem with the cable part for some strange reason. I will be spinning up some new fiber and also will be sending out some fiber to be processed as well. I have to sort through Tunis fleeces as well as the Lincoln Longwool fleeces. I think I will sell some of the as well. Any how it is rather late 2:27 in the morning and I have class in the morning at 9 before morning service, so I best end for now. I must do much better with my blogging, I need to make at least on entry a week so as not to have such big gaps in my entries and also include more photos. Well everyone have a great Sunday and a awesome week.<br />Ciao,<br />CWUniquelymeNanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03687782614754711515noreply@blogger.com3
