Sugar Camp Spin In 2010

-
I held a Spin In on Saturday. Lynn, Elizabeth, Jen and Mary came by before lunch. We started out with snacks and copious amounts of tea and then began the spinning and knitting.


Jen was the Drop Spindle Diva:
She even Navajo plied some at the end of the day. ON THE DROP SPINDLE. I know. The very concept made my head hurt too!

Elizabeth and Lynn worked the wheels"

Elizabeth

And Mary plied the needles:

After a bit, we took a break and went to lunch at Joey's Seafood. I highly recommend this place. Their scallops are YUM! You can imagine what kind of group we were; our waiter, 'Tyler' came to our table and the first thing he said was. "Well, THIS looks like trouble." Once again our reputation precedes us!

We came back after lunch and started in again. We put Bridget Jones' Diary in the DVD player so at least I was way less productive what with Colin Firth on and all. I must have gotten something done because my hands started to ache and I put up the wheel and took up knitting at some point (I think it was around the time Firth threw Grant out through the restaurant window...le sigh!).

Lynn and Elizabeth and to leave around supper time, but Jen, Mary and I ordered a Papa Murphy's thin crust chicken, artichoke pizza and it was delish! Then more knitting and spinning while we watched Bridget Jones : The Edge of Reason and discovered that there is no such thing as Colin Firth overload!


Ben was in his glory all day with all the new folks to love. He behaved pretty well and wasn't too pushy for a change. He kept the drool to a minimum except when he and Mary were playing tug of war over Stinky Skunk. Mary was so cute. She got a dinner napkin so wrap her end of Stinky, because in this case he was also Slimy Skunk. Ben was so exhausted when everyone went home that he made ME tired so we hit the hay and left the cleanup for this morning.


All in all it was an uberfun day. Mark your calendars! The weekend after Valentine's Day next year is Sugar Camp Spin In 2011!

Just got a comment on my last blog entry reminding me that Monday is actually the last day of November, not today. So I have TWO more entries to complete NaBloPoMo; today and TOMORROW. How sad would that have been...to blow the whole thing because I can't read a calendar? I just figured, hey, December is coming next week, might's well start it out first thing on Monday! This here is a picture of my BubberKev and I at Thanksgiving. We're taking a momentary break from strangling each other to goof at the camera. Our mamma must be so proud! Back to online Christmas shopping! Have a great Sunday evening!

Lots of New Tangle Pattern Ideas!

I've been setting aside tangles that I've created in a special file in my cabinet. When I put one in last night, I realized that I had quite a stockpile and that I hadn't put only of them out there for others to try...so here they all are. I'm not good at stepouts or at naming. Most of them are named after placed in Maine...just because. I'd love to see any tangles that you've done that use any of these patterns! Have fun and tangle on!

Wicked Wonderful Weekend

 I had a really nice weekend. I didn't expect to since I had both my Covid booster and my flu shot  on Thursday afternoon. My first of the original two Covid shots put me under the weather for about 24 hours...but I just got a headache from this one and that's about it. And since I get headaches anyway, who knows if it was from the shots or not? At any rate, I was prepared for a stay-at-home-lay-about weekend.  Life is what happens when you are making other plans.  Since I decided Friday Night that I guess I wasn't going to be incapacitated after all, I arranged to go with friend, Donna to Baraboo to the Arts and Crafts Festival. It was really nice and way bigger than I thought it would be. Baraboo is where Ringling Brothers started so there were also circus-y things all over town. So much fun! After the Fair we went to lunch at a little breakfast place and then headed to one of my fav spots, Pewett's Nest, to see the gorge and waterfall. Then we stopped at Sky Hi Ap...
