OK so we all know that I never thought I'd see the end of it..... I don't even want to mention ITS name..... but while I've been all consumed with that black thing, I've been pretty much flat out, non-stop, go go go! I have managed to spin enough fibre for the Level 4 required dye samples. I've managed to make food for two meals while I'm away. I've managed to make a felted spindle bag for a fellow who is making a Navajo spindle for me and I'm working on the Madder vest for the fashion show..... (so MB, you had better be prepared to model it....). These are all things I wanted done before I leave and I"M LEAVING TOMORROW!!!!!!!
I can't believe that a full year has blown by and I'm heading off for another year of the Master Spinner's Program at Olds College.... I'm looking forward to it. But meanwhile I'm trying to pack everything I will need for a week of living in an apartment with food (we cook our own), and uncomfortable beds (I bring a big foamy and a fan), and spinning courses and dyeing courses. I can't wait..... no I mean I really can't wait..... I'm going to go bonkers waiting for tomorrow.
In the last week we have brought home Daughter #1's horse, which is in the sheep paddock and meant moving around all the sheep. We have fenced a large portion of our land, which meant pounding in 100 fence posts and feeding the five thousand.... or at least in felt like the five thousand. We have prepared for children's sleepovers (Daughter #2) and prepped for final exams (Daughter #1), and gotten Teapot off on a camping trip with his school kids. So now it is my turn. I was up till midnight last night cooking and spinning and today I'm spinning, sewing, cooking and picking up kids from school at which time I will need to make sure the animals are fed and Jiggs is walked (or at least thrown the ball for a million times), and all the while I will be packing and implementing a week for moi. You'd think I was going to a spa..... ha.... but I will be in class all next week and it is still a vacation!
So first chicken stew for the slow cooker.... then I will ply my skeins.... and then I will sew on a handle for that spindle bag..... and then I will cut out the back of the vest. A day of work?.... yeah.... but at least it's not the big j.c.
Woo hoo.... I'm done...
You're going to be sick of hearing me say that....
Woo hoo... I'm done.... (gosh that sounds nice)!
