How to spend the last day of a long weekend….by Clancy
While the Boy and I were running around doing domestic things today, Clancy decided that we humans needed some lessons on how to relax and enjoy the last day of the weekend. This post is her version of how a vacation day should be spent. Start the day by looking in the drawers for treats – […]
When Being Lazy is a Good Thing
I’ve been pretty quiet this week (after my spam rant) but that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been busy. I’ve been having an affair with L2 (my new wheel). It took about a week but I finally am starting to understand how to spin on this wonderful wheel. I’ve also been supporting the local economy by […]
I’ve had it with the freakin’ spam
I can’t take it anymore. I do not have a private member that needs enlarging. I am personally happy in my love life and my credit score is no one’s business.

Lillith2 (hereto known as L2) arrived on Monday. I had purchased her from Julie at Black Lamb in Port Hope when she was at the Knitter’s Frolic. I got some extra bobbins because, well I have the attention span of a 2 year old and can’t commit to spinning something for too long.

I’ve obviously got to work on the tensioning a bit more….this one is much more sensitive than L1.

Lock up the Credit Cards
Well today was the Knitter’s Frolic. And Wow did I Frolic! There was a ton of wool but I was there strictly for spinning stuff. I can get wool anytime…and now spin my own!
My friend Kathleen and her delightful daughter Mara joined me as we Frolicked our little butts around the festival. I saw may old friends and made a few new ones. Pirkko, Rochelle and Laura were all there as well as blogless Terry (who made Lillith’s bag).
Oh and there is the little matter of the Majacraft Gem that I somehow ended up buying.
