How do two days pass you by in a blinding rush... One day it was Friday and then all of a sudden it was Sunday night and I'm wondering how the heck I got here....
OK lets see... it has been a really busy weekend.... I'm planning a party for next weekend... it's a party for one of my guild members who is moving away and I'll probably never see her again..... waaaah!
I had service this morning at church and that came off very well considering that the organist was not able to be there.... we used taped music....
I spun and wrote and tabulated and respun and labeled all day yesterday on homework for the level 3 of the Master Spinners..... it's all going according to plan.... tonight I will have one third finished..... woo hoo... then it is back to the big j.c..... two weeks to finish it.
Then Hubby has been butchering and shearing lambs all weekend.... I sold the fleeces right away.... how did that happen you ask? Well I advertised them to my guild members.... and that was that, in three minutes flat.... I had my fleeces sold. I have one tucked away for moi..... The ewe and ram fleeces will be available later in the spring.... I'm hoping they will sell just as fast.... but then you never know... I still have a few of last years fleeces roaming around in the shed. But I'll keep them for the mill. I helped Hubby label and grade the fleeces too.
I finished a bracelet and necklace for myself which I have been wanting to do for a while I still have a necklace for myself to finish.... it has a pendant that has a blade for cutting thread or yarn. Then I have the bracelet for a choker and bracelet set done I just ran out of strand to finish the choker.... I'll get some next time I'm in town....
So as you can see it has been a busy two days... Hubby just left to go to work. He will be working until late tonight which is odd since Hubby is a teacher and usually he works by day. But this is report card week so he will be working late each day until he is done. Daughter #1 is catching Daughter #2's cold and Daughter #2 is studying for a test tomorrow that she missed last week while she was home from school.
Spring is definitely in the air... the deck is clear of snow and everything is turning to ice in the driveway. There is only 3 weeks left before the spring equinox...it soon will be planting time.
I planted cotton seeds a while ago but they never did grow. I was really hopeful that I had something growing when a green shoot popped through the ground but it turned out to be a weed... no cotton... : ( but then what did I expect... we do live far too North for cotton to grow. Speaking of cotton .... I had better go spin some... and weave the last of my silk for my distaff....
That is if I want to be at the 1/3 mark.....
