Dangerous around nog
OH I am tired. So tired. This weekend was so fun and so…um…expensive. But fun! And that’s what counts.
I concentrated mainly on fiber for this SAFF. I only purchase one skein of yarn the entire weekend - woohoo! Restraint! But fiber…ohhhh, so much fiber. More »« Less
Today Sandy had some of us over to her house for fiber dyeing fun. This was ideal for me, because:
1. I need to dye some yarn as per my Mission Possible 2008 objectives
2. Dyeing at Sandy’s meant her house got messed up, not mine More »« Less
Thanks for all your well wishing and encouragement. Thursday was just a bad day. But things are getting better. Friday I was without car - normally Kev would have left me his car and driven his truck to work, but it rained all day and his truck doesn’t have functioning windshield wipers.

Hey! There was a party yesterday! Knitters and spinners converged on the house of blogless Jacquie, and on her two little dogs, many cats, and one parrot. It was the animal house! Except the cats were outside. There was soooo much food. I decided to experiment at a party that was not my own and make a acorn squash and bleu cheese galette, topped with carmalized onions. Being that there were only a few scraps left, I’d say it was a success. The only reason it probably wasn’t gone completely was the fact that there was OH MY GOD SO MUCH FOOD! Yet I have no pictures of the food. OH WELL! More »« Less
I was “fired” about 30 times this past weekend. Really, it wasn’t my fault.
Grace was running late to pick me up on Thursday, so we ended up at Jen’s a little later than intended. After a quick meet & greet with some llamas, goats, and sheep (a warm up, if you will) we were on our way. Soon we were winding our way through the back-country highways of north carolina, enjoying gorgeous autumn mountain views of such spectacular quality that I was literally dazzled to the point of which I forgot to take pictures. This is also a common theme for the weekend. We finally arrived in Asheville and tried to make sense of a small map and some confusing city streets. Eventually we found our way to the restaurant and the rest of our cozy little group where we enjoyed a very delicious dinner. Back at the hotel, we spent the rest of the evening enjoying wine and my homemade chocolate crack cookies.
