black coffee in bed….with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cocoa…
just a quickie here…first of all…the gorgous object with the birdies is a vintage sifter. i left the price tag on it to rub it in that it was so cheap and awesome. i love it!! look at my flickr to see the other great stuff i got at the thrift store.
i have a dr’s appt today, and am supposed to meet heather for lunch or whatever, i guess. she has been having a really bad time of it, and i am really worried about her. when did i become the stable one? i am also going to stop at knitwits to get some yarn for my tivoli top, and i want to start a one skein wonder, as well, jump on the bandwagon. i have tons of stray skeins that would work nicely. also, i keep hearing things about “shine” from knitpicks, which is only $2.39 per skein and is supposed to knit beautifully. hmmf.
i spun a few hundred yards last night, that came out really pretty. i started blending the variegated, because i can’t do anything plain. it drives me nuts. short attention span theatre. if i wanted plain, i could buy it. that is why i got a wheel. to make crazy stuff. i am working on thinner stuff for the people i promised yarn to…you all can keep posted to what i have made and make suggestions for what you would like if i have offered you something…
the baby sweater just needs to be blocked and put together, which i may do today, if i have time.
in other news, i am also spinning yarn for my secret pal, i need to start sending her stuff, although i may just send one big one. i am not sure. it is nice to get lots of stuff at once.
oh, i am not sure where to vaseline my louet, it is getting smoking hot when i spin, which is pretty cool, but i think i should be greeezin it, and i am not sure where. my teacher has an ashford that she oils every time she uses it, and i know that louets don’t need oil, who knows? in my spinning book, it doesn’t tell you for my sort.
i want the pluckyfluff book and i have no money on my credit card!! i need to figure something out. i neeeeeeeed it!! ok, gotta get up and go.
smoochies y’all!!

omg, I just lost this whole long comment about how b-ill just made me herb tea out of cramp bark and black haw and how it made my killer cramps go away with in an hour. I drank a cup (iced and with stevia for sweetness) each day and they never came back. They’re bad too, no painkillers can touch ‘em.
also, I’m starting tivoli tomorrow! we’ll knit it together!
