dancin’ to purple rain
ok…so i got this thing in the mail from creative strands fiber arts conference in johnstown, pa, i think about an hour away from pittsburgh. there are some awesome classes being taught at very low cost, taught by annie modesitt and other big names. the web address is www.augustamarketing.com. i am freaking out. is anyone interested in going? it appears that most of the classes are at an intermediate level, except for jewelry making. there are some spinning classes, one using a spindle, a dying class, ooh, check it out, and please contact me anyone who is interested.
bonnie finally got her package and seemed to dig it. she called me whilst opening it and we got to talk a bit. it was hard to shop for her because it is so warm where she is, what do you get? i settled on some really pretty hemp from my stash and some classic elite mohair with cotton woven in. i got her some other goodies too. it was fun putting it together. i made her a gem saloon shirt and couldn’t post any pics because she couldn’t know about it. i suck at keeping secrets.
jake’s motorcycle jacket and boots came, my jacket was mysteriously absent. he looks super hot in his gear. not like some guys that put on the crap and think it makes them hot, but really hot. if i saw him out and didn’t know him, i would sigh. ooh, that sucks that guy is married. oh, but it is to me!! sweet!!
i could jm’s boutique for the second time and left a message that i had planned a yarn tour at knitwits on monday, when they are closed and to let me know that it was ok so pudge could do other things and no one called me back. it really irritated me. i have been knitting up a storm so i have stuff for them and they can’t call me back? this isn’t a good start. it worries me. also, i found out that there is an opening in the ligonier arts festival, which is ritzy and full of people with money, but i don’t have enough time to put anything together. it is a good idea though, that a group of us could do a few cool arts festivals and sell our wares. it would be fun. we could probably get in for next year. mark from dv8 may be able to pull some strings. i want to do the spinning class and one of the beading classes. i pick stuff like that up pretty fast and would love to try it.
i haven’t had soda in a week and a half and my face seemed better on the rash, but i think it is breaking out again. it is itchy at the moment. egads!!
jason is supposed to see us saturday and maybe bring his lady. we will see. he is nuts about her, it seems so i am really excited to meet her.
ok, i am going to take my pills and go to sleep. knit a little. have some nightmares, same old thing.
