Today I went to the firing range with my friend (and my daughter's MIL) Cheryl. We had a nice time shooting. My Lorcin .380 misloaded every time I tried to fire it, so I put it away. I don't get it; Richard thoroughly cleaned and oiled it before I went. oh well... Afterward we went to Wild Wings for lunch, which was more fun than shooting guns together. She didn't want to take home the targets, because ex-hubby-slash-SO, a retired Highway Patrolman, gets nervous about guns. She sent them home with me. I said I was going to Blog about them so the whole internet could see them. She just laughed and said, "Don't BLOG me!" So for tonight, I didn't post the pics. Tonight. Muahahaha...
On the way home my little old Suzuki was misfiring also, like one of the spark plugs is fouled or something.
A project for tomorrow, maybe. So I have had a Bad Mechanical Day.
Someone did Blog me today! She wrote about
recycled yarns on Etsy and included me! Thanks!
I snagged a main Treasury last night in Richards'
Rossoaps shop at Etsy. Here on the left is a screen shot... it is called
Cardinal Sins. What fun!
EmptyNestEgg also included my Blue Bell flower pin in her main Treasury, called
She Stopped to Smell, which is all items from the SHE team. Thank you!
On to something we actually did. LoL. For Diantha's birthday last week, I gave her some random lavender and purple wool balls (I spun my felted slippers from them, passed some on to another knitter, sent some carded with other fibers to Japan, and gave Diantha the rest with some lavender Cashmere yarn bits mixed in), some cleaned and dyed orange Corriedale fleece, and some teal Merino. Yesterday she carded them together. She didn't divide the merino quite evenly, so ended up with a little extra purple and orange. She spun them up together last night and got 28 yards of the coolest, funky yarn!
It will be great trim on something.
Yesterday we made Great Grass soap. It has hemp oil in it, and minced alfalfa... and the soap is actually colored with grass! We used lavender, cedarwood, and spruce essential oils for a deep, herbal fragrance. Wonderful!
Someone blogged me today! Thanks so much to EssieWB for featuring me on her blog, http://essiewb.wordpress.com.
Oh and cleaned the back hallway. And shopped for groceries for 8 people for 2 weeks. And made lunch and dinner and took care of a sick kid. And spun some laceweight yarn... but other than that, nothing. But Josiah, my 8 yos, made a playdoh sculpture a couple days ago and I have been reminded that I didn't post a picture of it. Sorry. So here is his x-box console, controller, and the "TV set" that his sister helped him make.
