July 2008 Archives
It's so nice to have an internet connection again. So what if there are wires in strange places around the house. I can check my messages without "right-click, properties, repair, right-click, properties, repair, lather, rinse, repeat". I have had a connection at work, but work has been very... worky.
I've been faithful to the Tour de Fleece each and every day so far, but have not had the gumption to take pictures. The spindle project is just white cashmere, and so not very interesting to look at. But I'm to the plying step on my wheel project, and should really be documenting that. Maybe after a nap.
We have three (count 'em) gigs coming up with the band. Hooray! One at Dawn of a New Day on August 15th, one at the Magic Bean on August 23rd (that one is part of the Tri-City Art Battle, and we were invited!), and then we're playing the Christmas concert at my church on December 6th. I plan to have more, too. And a CD of originals by the end of September. I've started referring to singing as "my real job".
I'm joining the Tour de Fleece this year, which I first heard about at Stephanie's blog. My challenge will be to spin 15 minutes on my spindle and 15 minutes on my wheel each day of the challenge (making up the time for Saturday and Sunday that have already passed). I'm giving myself bonus points if, in that daily spinning, I finish the two in-progess works on each of those tools. If I finish off the fibers before my challenge is met, I will move on to some other wip's that are in hibernation! I'm on a finishing/using the stash spree. Somehow, what this seems to do is cause more yarn to appear. Of course, finishing a spinning project fits right in with that.
PS: Um. How do I add the Tour de Fleece button on my sidebar here?
