Apparantly, I have forgotten how to blog.

Well, not really, I just haven’t really wanted to. Besides, my life is so boring I figure no one reads here anyway.

So what have I been up to since January? Well, Matthew went into the hospital in February for what we think is MRSA, but will never know b/c some doof messed up the lab orders and canceled them. I’d like to meet whoever did that. Then I took up spinning a couple of months ago. Spinning what you ask?

Why, yarn of course!

I haven’t really had time to get into it very much though. I’ve probably only spun a total of less than 8 oz. Right now, I’m working on some pink/red/purple/blue roving that Abby dyed for me! I am calling it ‘Abby Cadabby’ since, she dyed it and it also came out the colors of the new fairy godchild on Seasme Street. I am very slow so don’t expect an update on this one anytime soon. Although I did just learn the joy of pre-drafting, and I am going back to the basic drop spindle from my Little Meggie pictured above.

I also have a new camera, a Kodak Z series — I don’t have the camera here by me so I couldn’t tell you the number, but I can tell you I LOVE it for a P&S camera. It takes very nice pics and with a little editing, almost looks like it came from a DSLR ( I actually did not do the final editing of this pic, but a friend of mine on DSD)

I also started selling again, although I am not so sure that was so smart of me. I am unknown, and really don’t have the time to devote to promoting myself/keeping stock. It only costs me $5 a month though so I will keep it for now. Here. My next stocking (on the 23rd, I will try to keep it the 23rd) I have not had time this month to get anything made. Abby’s party was last weekend and her birthday is this weekend, so I think what I will do is just list the medium diaper that is in stock already, as a FFS lotto (as a ploy to get myself better known/more feedback). Possibly a Your Yarn, My Needles (YYMN) slot, some organic sherpa yardage I have, and possibly a lotto for a 25% off coupon code for anything instock at anytime. That last one was just a brainstorm of mine just now ;)

Oh, also!  I bought a new sewing machine and serger as well.  The serger is a Brother 1040D and the machine is a Innovis 1200.

Well, ta-ta for now, it is getting late and I want to get some more spinning in tonight!
