I've been working on other things today and though yesterday was a calm after the storm with sunshine (albeit cold temps) today we are back to light snow fall and grey skies. At almost the end of November Christmas is baring down on me with a vengeance and so I have work to do. November means the publishing date for the PCSW newsletter is near (and I am not putting the link here at this time since I am not quite ready to publish the new newsletter, so it is a page that is unfinished and you wouldn't get to read much anyway). Still, I have been working on it for most of this grey and cold day. In addition to the newsletter a friend came by with her resume and was wondering if I would be able to help her with clearing it up and also helping her write a cover letter. She has been out of the work force for a few years and I was happy to help her though I do have to say that I am not fresh as a Daisy in that area either. But we worked through it and hopefully she will get the interview... the rest is up to her. Between writing cover letters, and articles for the newsletter, and keeping up my own blog it seems that communication is a large part of life these days and has gotten me to thinking about other forms of communication.
With Christmas hard upon my heels, I am beginning to think about Christmas cards and letters. I have always been a faithful card and letter writer but I find it aggravating at best to spend hours of my time on cards and letters for people and then when I get cards in return, more often than not, they come with a signature that lets me know they are still alive but nothing else. Even worse are the cards that come three days after Christmas that lets me know that they hadn't intended on sending a card at all but felt compelled once they received mine. There seems every year to be more and more of them. Last year I got quite disgusted with the whole Christmas card scene and on principle only sent out five to those who I knew would respond .... and then they didn't. So this year I am turning over a new leaf and not writing cards at all. I will send a quick email to those on my email list and the rest can "suck it..." (very Christmassy attitude isn't it...)!
My friend in FSJ says that this attitude stems from a growly older bitchy thing that happens to those of us that value time and effort and (maybe more importantly) are nearing or have passed the 50th birthday.... I'm 45.... so maybe she's on to something. I think that as we get older we pick the family and friends with whom to continue a relationship based on who show signs that they give a damn about you because they are interested in you as a person and not because of familial bonds or a strange sense of loyalty and that it is reciprocal. (My father calls this the bridge burner syndrome.... because once you lose touch with a person it's usually because there never was a real sense of friendship and then you burn your bridges with them in the end.) Neither Teapot nor I are really all that clued into family... and I'm not really sure why that is.... I know that I'm walking on thin ice here as some family members follow this blog but its not to say that I am impartial to them but that if there is not a reciprocal relationship then it isn't much worth persuing... I am thankful for those of my family and friends that have stayed in touch with me... it means a lot.... even a short email occasionally is a wonderful way of knowing that they are alive and well and still care about you and vice versa... (and it doesn't count if it is a forwarded email of some joke or cartoon).
Each year I write a long poem about my family (husband and daughters and dogs cats and parents) and how we have been doing over the last year and it has always been fun. You can see an example here.... I didn't do it last year and that was because there was so much pressure put on us for Christmas, that I just couldn't think of anything to say.... but this year I'm feeling a little more "in the mood" and I think it is because I have shed so many of my hats (as lay reader for the church, school planning council member, secretary for the NPSW, actually I've been sheding lots of councils and groups) that my brain doesn't feel.... how did I put it last year.... oh yeah, like "I've had a bowel movement on my own head and then sat there wondering how that happened". At the end of writing the poem I contact all family members and send out the poem to them or at least give them the blog address so that they can come in here and have a look... some read it but a lot just dump the email because they don't have time to read it or whatever.... they're the ones I just can't be bothered with anymore. (I just read everything I've written here and it makes me sound terrible I know! Oh well, just think of me as the family fire breathing dragon....)!
In the end, what I'm trying to say is that a little communication goes a long way.... leave a comment... email from time to time, drop us (Teapot and I) a card with a short note on the fly leaf... it is all good... and you know what?.... that's the best Christmas gift anyone could give me.... I don't need gifts, because a kind word works wonders.... mostly because in this day and age of fast paced lives... a kind word is a gift!
And if you do?... I promise it will be reciprocated...

Winter Weather Has Struck In Earnest
I woke this morning to several inches of snow on the ground. And it's cold! Like freezing cold. -15 degrees this morning. Teapot headed into FSJ and I worry about him on the road. There have been several road accidents this week one of which has seriously hurt a good friend's husband. He is in the hospital in Edmonton with a broken neck and is fighting for his life. We are praying fiercely for his recovery. It is a worry.
The Daughters have headed off to the bus stop this morning and I worry about them too since the wind chill is -30 degrees this morning since the wind is blowing and is quite gusty.
It is a strange morning this morning with snow swirling around and the sky looking deep blue as the sky is still quite dark. Yesterday morning was stranger still with the sky looking like this...
It almost looked as if a forest fire was burning off in the distance... the old adage kept coming back to me... red sky in the morning shepherd's warning. Well, I'm a shepherd and I took warning. Somehow I knew that temperatures were going down and the snow was coming. Actually, most of BC is getting hit with stormy weather today.
The sheep are in the barn and the alpaca is lying down next to the barn. Honeydew is milling around the feeding boxes and the male alpacas are hunkered down by the side of their feeding mangers hiding out of the wind. Dreamer the horse doesn't seem to be minding the cold temperatures though we will haul out her blanket later today and get her settled too before the temperatures drop again. I wish we had a barn for her. I will just have to take tramp out to her paddock with a bucket of oats today and then I might have a look around the paddock for a likely place to build her a shelter of sorts.... something temporary at this point.
Teapot has just called to say that the road wasn't as bad as we expected and that he is safe at his workshop which is a great relief for me.
It is a good day to spin I think at least that is the plan. I have begun knitting again on my shawl and will continue to spin bison today. Later this evening I will get back to level 3 and pull out the charkha for cotton spinning. I am looking forward to getting the cotton spinning done and get on to the silk spinning. I have also received in the mail the fibre for my 150 hour project in the level 4 course. It is cashmere and you could smell it through the box... quite pungent! But then goat always is... It is going to be interesting keeping everything straight in my mind as I am working on two courses at the same time.... a fairly strange situation. But I am determined to do them both justice.
I have once again changed the look of the blog.... I thought snow for a background would be cool... but I'm staying with the theme of blue and spiders... just in a different way....
CBC radio is on right now and according to them the power has gone off in a number of places all through the province.... I hope we don't lose it here..... I'll be thankful when November moves on....
Before I go for the day I will add a few pictures here of what we are experiencing.....
So I'm off for a winter day.... quiet.... spinning.... knitting.... mmmmm some hot chocolate this morning I think...
Hope your winter day is lovely too....

Startitis Strikes Again
I have a major case of startitis. I am working on a scarf, a third spool of bison, our bedroom and the poem, a shawl, and then right out of the blue (no pun intended) I got the idea that I should spin this...
Isn't it pretty?....
I love this fibre. It is merino.... well, it's called Optim which I think is merino that has been stretched using chemicals. This particular Optim has a little Tencel blended in for fun. It is turning out to be absolutely gorgeous when spun and looks like this.....
I think I will weave and I mean really weave a scarf with this stuff. I have a very fine heddle for my rigid heddle loom so I think that I will go that way... but then maybe Iwill rent a loom from the guild and use a 4 harness loom.
See what I mean by startitis. I see some lovely new fibre and that's all I've got in my mind..... suddenly all the other projects that I'm working on have drifted away across the universe and here I am with thought of divine blue.....
It all started with this....
I saw this picture on APOD the other day and have been dreaming blue ever since....
I even got out my beads and looked for some blue beads that would coordinate with this to make the blue scarf more appealing.... yeah.... serious staritis.
Why oh why can't I ever get finishitis!

All Over The Place.... Goes My Errant Mind
I seem to be having trouble these days concentrating on any one subject for more than a minute or two. Sometimes I wonder if that comes with age or if I was always like this. Teapot and I have begun over the weekend to study Political Philosophy with courses on DVD. We sit each evening with one class and watch the course unfold before us and it has been quite interesting. (Daughter #2 calls words like "interesting" place holders.... I'm not really sure why, but it is a derogatory term evidently.) We (that is, Teapot and I) have done courses such as this once before with a group of friends where we would enjoy a "class" and then we would have an hour to sit and discuss the topic and how it applies to us. But even though I enjoyed the course, which was a look at The Physiology of Psychology, I found the discussion group really lame, so this time Teapot and I decided to study this course on our own. We find that we speak about it more freely and are not as reserved in our comments, which is really good since you can make some pretty hilarious comments on a course that evaluates the pros and cons of cannibalism!
It has been an ideal day for the activity of listening to a professor ramble on. Yup, I think winter has finally hit. This week we are supposed to get temperatures down to -20 degrees. It has been grey and cold all day with light snow falling off and on. It has been dull outside and I'm not much better. Yet, I did have some friends come for a day of spinning. With a nice hot bowl of soup for lunch, it was a lovely chance to catch up on what they are doing too. We even had a bit of show and tell. However, now outside the window the snow looks dreadfully cold. The sheep are huddling out in the paddocks and Dreamer (the horse) will require a blanket over her at the rate the temperatures are falling.So an evening of viewing a DVD is an ideal pass time.
It seemed like a good day for a little spinning too. Last week, I started on some Bison fibre for the level 4 requirements. It is coming along quite nicely. Still today I needed a little colour in my life so I pulled out some Optim which is a merino wool which has been stretched to resemble silk. It is a lovely combination of blue, green, teal, and purple. It is very soft to work with and I'm enjoying it much more than I expected. I love spinning colour on a dull grey day like this one was. If it weren't for the trees then I wouldn't have known where the sky ended and the ground began. The electric fire place has been giving off lovely heat and a lovely glow. Makes me want to get a cup of hot chocolate. I have Annie Lennox on playing in the background. It makes for a very mellow evening.... (my feet are complaining though because they are so cold..... maybe I should go find some nice s----- well, you know)!
There was one point of excitement in my life today. Honeydew, the llama that doesn't have an over abundance of brains, got her head stuck in the fence today and I have no idea how long she was standing there trying to get her head out of the fence. I gathered my courage and held her head while separating the fence for her to get her head back through the wires. It worked and she was very mild mannered about it all in the end. I think she was rather surprised that I meant her well.
As you can see from what has been going on in my life that the grey skies have affected life around here. we seem to be waiting and can't settle on anything of value to keep us occupied. November is a month of "in between". Not Christmas yet, and after the pleasures of a colourful autumn, things seem to have graduated to a......
What am I thinking..... there's only five weeks left till Christmas and I still have two pairs of socks to knit......... and God knows how many other things I have to do..... argh! I had better make a list so I don't get side swiped again!
This errant mind of mine keeps dragging me in places I really shouldn't go.
Did you know that eating poppy seeds can show opium in your blood if you do a blood test. I just heard that on the radio ; } Shocking really.... !

Holy Hanna!
Gee I turned around twice and the weekend disappeared. I'm still trying to figure out what day it is.
The weekend slipped by in a crazy dance of time. What did I do? Not much... I assure you. Do you ever have weekends where you just can't figure out what happened.
We did have company here for two days so that kind of threw me off.... And I totally enjoyed having Teapot's brother and his wife here. Then yesterday we took a quick trip to town to pick up supplies for the contractor who will be working on the house. Of course that took way longer than we expected. I had to pick out light fixtures...... hmmmm. You know you're a normal couple when you are staring at hundreds of light fixtures and your spouse says, "I like that one," and you find yourself wanting to gag. Then you find one you like and your spouse adamantly disagrees with your choice. We finally settled on two fixtures that neither one of us loves but neither one of us hates either. In the end who cares what the light fixture looks like in the bathroom just as long as it aids you in finding the johnny-on-the-spot in the first place. (I wanted motion detectors so that we could leave the light on all the time and it would go off when nobody was around.... Teapot thought it was dumb and too much like an airport.)
After picking out the light fixtures, I spent a very long time looking at flooring. I'm still no closer to picking out something that I want. Argh!
We did pick up all the paneling that we need.... and we did pick up the sub flooring for the sun room... and we did get the wall board for the kitchen and we did get the plywood for the kitchen cupboards.... and we did get the knobs for the bathroom and we did get the door knobs for the girls bedroom door.... and .... and .... and.... $1000.00 dollars later I'm looking at the stuff we bought and thinking is that all for all that money?!!!!
Ouch!
Still I can't wait till the house is looking more finished.....
I'm so excited..... (can you tell?)
Yup I should go and do some work since I've done nothing really all day....
Wow... it's almost Monday!!!! How in the heck did that happen....

Progress
I did say the other day that I would talk about two things later on so I thought that today would be the day that I would fulfill that promise. I made reference the other day to the gallery show and to the scarf that I wasn't happy with.
First of all let me talk about the gallery show. As part of the North Peace Spinners and Weavers guild I am expected to participate in a show every 3 years at our local gallery. Our gallery is a small gallery that hangs art shows each month and each one is unique and individual to the artist being showcased. However, when a guild show occurs we hang the show as a group and the group is showcased. I have participated in three separate shows over the years and this will be the fourth show. Each show has had a theme. This show's theme is Shawls, Scarves, Socks, and Shoelaces. The idea is that we have prepped and ready for the show at least ten or fifteen garments in that category. With twenty people in the guild the show actually adds up to quite a few garments. It is also an opportunity to sell some of our art. So I have been getting ready for the show. I have knitted two shawls and two scarves so far but I still have a whole lot more work to do, obviously. I am planning on making quite a few pairs of socks if I can and I hope to get out my Marudai and do a few shoelaces too. I have a few more shawls in mind and and a couple of more scarves.
Now the other thing that I was going to mention was the scarf that I am currently working on. I had begun to knit a scarf in the bison/cashmere/silk/wool blend yarn that I finished spinning last month.... as I got down to the end of the ball I realized that I didn't have enough yarn to make the scarf long enough. I realized that getting more of that fibre to spin for the scarf would be next to impossible so I didn't even bother with that. I just raveled it out and decided to weave instead. I am working on my 6" x 6" pin loom making blocks and crocheting the blocks together as I go. I stupid-like decided to incorporate silk into the warp. Big mistake... the silk totally overshadows the bison/cashmere/silk/wool blended yarn and it is not nearly what I was hoping for. The softness, the squishiness that makes the bison/cashmere/silk/wool yarn so lovely is totally lost in the weave and the silk warp. I'm totally disappointed. But it is almost finished and I will post a picture here when I am done.
Meanwhile there have been other developments in the last few days. Finally the contractor came to see me and find out what was needing to be done on our renovation and we had a really good chat. He is coming in next week to do a whole bunch of work for me.... which means that I will not have to look at tuck tape on my walls anymore. I won't have to look at bathroom pipes anymore and our bedroom will have paneling right to the ceiling. I am not going to get him to lay the flooring down right now.... I'm going to wait on that. But I am going to get ceiling tiles for about one third of the sun room done (I don't have enough burned for the rest of the room). But at least the strapping will be there and I will be able to put up the tiles as they are finished. So at least there will be progress and at least the bathroom will be finished. And our bedroom will be finished and the sun room will be mostly done and Teapot and I will work on the flooring over March break maybe. I am soooo looking forward to getting the house in a little more livable state. We are also going to buy some light fixtures for the sun room and for the downstairs bathroom. Then I can take the light fixtures there and put them in temporarily until I can find what I am looking for for the other parts of the house. I do realize that this is somewhat of a bandaid but its the best we can do right now. I do not want the house in a total ree raw for Christmas. There is a sale on flooring right now so Teapot and I may have a look at getting the flooring for our living room and sun room.
Well I'm heading off ... it is a vacation day today.... Teapot is home so I will get him to help me sort the house out and prepare for some house guests.... there's family coming and Daughter #1 will have to sleep in Daughter #2's bedroom.... now that should be interesting.... and we've got to hang the door on the two bedrooms so that there's privacy for all!!!! Yeah... life is just a little crazy today!
