Entertainment Leads To Confusion

I told you the other day that I like change. I also like colour. I have been reading other blogs, one of which commented on the success or lack there of based on, primarily what's written, but also, on the 'look' of your blog. Black print on white backgrounds makes me want to snore. But then I do love dyeing yarns with bright chemical colours. I am not a pastel girl. And I sure am NOT a black and white girl. (If I could be anything other than what I am, I would like to be a Crayola Crayon and live in a box of 64 colours!) One thing about colour is that it shows up against black really well. That is why I choose bright colours on my black background for my blog. I do try to choose colours that are on the lighter side for the post title and the post itself. That way you can read my blog with ease.

Of course I agree with that other blog regarding the writing. Primarily, a blog should have entertaining writing. While I totally agree with that statement there are very few people who can write entertainingly every day of their life. Most people (who are human and not professional writers) have days when they are not entertaining (except my Hubby whose entertaining qualities can be somewhat irritating at times). Occasionally those who entertain need to be entertained. (By the way I did not mean to imply that professional writers are not human).

OK did you follow all that? Right! If you did follow all of that then you must be very entertaining! (Note: I didn't say entertained.)

I learned a great deal from my first day of scheduling yesterday. I learned that you will probably get interrupted a great deal and I also learned that spinning cotton requires a good set of cotton cards. My cotton punis from Ginned Cotton are so lumpy that my spun cotton sucked. I did teach Daughter #1 how to spin and while her spinning was typical of a beginner at least she is trying. This is something that pleases me no end, as I think that all people should have some skill that requires the hands (my mind just landed in the gutter!!) anyway .... like weaving, spinning, knitting, sewing, wood working, carpentry, mechanics, etc.... It gives you something to do later in life when reading or listening to some media form is not enough. Sports is good too, though all you get from that is a body in good shape..... (mine's not! I rather look like an over stuffed pillow at times.) Hand skills give you a sense of accomplishment. You feel oh so clever when you can make something from scratch.

Today will be a day to make advances in my jacket commission. Tomorrow, I will try to be more entertaining (though that may be impossible not because I'm entertaining enough now, but just because it may be a good day to be entertained...)

Let me entertain you... let me make you smile.... (confused yet?)

Go burn some spuds... it's very entertaining! (ok I'm very confused and only slightly entertained)!!!
