edit*i wrote this whilst in a sleepy state, it appears, in fact, i don’t even remember doing it at all. so apologies for the nonsensical nature of it. it has been corrected.

“you,” she says, “you said that you wanted to have me. you said you wanted to learn to use me and my current mama loves me but is getting another, there is not enough room for us both…so please….” she is a louet s-15 sanded with a clearcoat on her. regular flyer and 3 bobbins and bulky flyer and 3 bobbins. the regular bobbin holds loads of yarn, the bulky holds tons. she is worth more than $565 and runs great, have a big old bulky flyer on ‘er that really makes her rock, and until someone buys her, i will keep moaning and groaning about it on my blog. email me at natashaluxe@gmail.com. please. i want the new wheel soon. i can trade it in, but i would rather know who has her. ok? i am asking $500 for everything, or best offer. i looked around on ebay, and that it less than they sell for new or used. and some of the ebay ads are for wheels from the netherlands with 60 bucks shipping. and i can meet you if you live within an hour or so of me. and i will give you some purdy fiber to spin, too. and my shirt. or whatever. just ask. a lesson? i will give you a spinning lesson? at chez natasha…

stolen from lisab
1. I need: to be more productive in every way.
2. Sex: female.
3. Relationships: married to the most incredible person i have ever known. everyone else thinks i am a pain in the ass. actually jake might too. but i’m worth it. i think.
4. Your Last Ex: is sleeping with the fishes.
5. Power: is good to have.
6. Marijuana: should be available to people who need it.
7. Crack: mine hangs out too often. shameful!
8. Food: i am not a good eater. never have been. if i don’t really love eating it, i generally won’t. you would think i would be really skinny.
9. The President: when i think about him i get really freaked out.
10. Drama: fun to watch, not to live in.
11. Cars: mazda, titanium. vw golf, red. my favorite car is a vw kharmanghia(Sp?)jake has a bike, too.
12. Gas Prices: i don’t drive much, like a tank lasts me a month or more. i got some gas today and thought…i remember when you could get a gallon for 99 cents. if i lived in a city with good public transportation i would take it. i know people who live in pittsburgh less than a block from the bus and choose to drive everyday instead. and pay for parking. and it isn’t jason. or amy. let’s just say their name is carlo.
13. Halloween: i hate having to anwer the door 1000 times, but we fear retaliation if we were absent. and we always give good candy and let them take a few. as a kid, because my parents didn’t do stuff like that, i was always bummed to not get a fancy costume/any costume that wasn’t a bum.
14. Politics: i can’t handle them. i used to know something of politics, but i get so upset about everything that i find i don’t want to know about things unless i can make some kind of difference. i know, bad.
15. Religion: i was born jewish, i do feel a connection to my heritage, of course, but my beliefs are probably closer to buddhism. i think it is important to be a good person, to be a role model, to do unto others…and if you are a rotten piece of crap, apologizing at the last minute and saying you believe in jesus isn’t gonna do ya any good. you will be a cockroach. i hope. and animules have souls.
16. MySpace: i know i will be offending readers, but i don’t get it. unless you are 15. in which case, it makes sense. it just seems really cheesy to me. and i refuse to join, even in cases where i have been asked to join a particular group for some sort of arty thing and i can’t even find out what the group is without joining myspace. and friendster. ew. why?
17. Worst Fear: failure
18. Marriage: maybe the easiest part of my life. i never in a million years thought i would get married. and then…i found someone who is my home…when i was in high school, the depeche mode song, “somebody” was what i wanted in a significant other…and i found it.
19. Fashion: i have always been way ahead of my time. and now…i look like a hobo all the time because i am always doing art stuff and getting dirty. i love unique things. and fashion is not about being unique. you know?
20. Brunettes: wooot wooot! brunettes! i always liked wonderwoman and jacklyn smith on charlie’s angels.
21. Redheads: when i was a little girl, i wanted to be black. if i couldn’t be black, i wanted red hair, green eyes and freckles. and i wanted my name to be cindy. it didn’t work out. i have had many different shades of red hair though. unnatural as it was. and my hair is a reddish brown naturally, so in the sun it turns a ghastly shade of orange
22. Blondes: i have platinum blonde in the front of my hair. i actually wanted it to be silver, but that proved to be impossible.
23. Work: i am lucky to get to do something that i love. i am flaky and unfocused when i am doing things i don’t like, so that wouldn’t go over well, at all.
24. Pass the Time: fiber.fiber.fiber.
25. Football: no.
26. One-Night Stands: my husband frowns upon them. although, we could have one, and then he could get up early and go to work. hmmm…
27. Pet Peeve: people who wear pants that are too short, pants that are too high waisted, people who claim to not want drama, yet seek out drama and then complain about said drama.
28. Pixie Stix: make my stomach ache.
29. Vanilla Ice: utter dipshit.
30. Porta Potties: nasty.
31. High School: went to a different one every year. sucked. and i was an alternadork and no one appreciated that so much, plus i had a bad attitude due to being teenaged, new to the area and picked on heavily.
32. Ice Cream: mint chip. ben and jerry made a dilbert one that was amazing, but they stopped. it makes me cough. we really like a local one called the meadows that makes 3 different flavors of custard a day.
33. Pajamas: drive me crazy. i am a wifebeater and underpants kinda gal. i wear pj pants to hang out, though.
34. Wood: huh?
35. Surfers: huh huh?
36. Pictures: i take tons, and pride myself being a good photographer. one of my pet peeves…i just thought of my pet peeve…is how most everyone i know take crap pictures, not framing them even…or centering them, or there is a mile of air over people’s heads…it isn’t that damn hard to center a photo and crop it…right?

ok. so that is all. luxe is updated. go buy stuff! all the spinning fiber sold already i think, but i made up a bunch tonite, and will take photos first thing to-morrow and list them, so check back.

ok, off to do a bit o’ work.
smoooooooochies,
n.

first, the store has been updated, both luxe and the luxe store. there are sock yarns and some gorgeous thin mohair, spinning fiber and then handspun yarns, of course. so go check it out. things have been really busy and selling out fast. yay!

i dragged my butt out to joann’s to pick up stuff i needed, rather than doing work and updating the store because i thought my coupons worked and the sale was next week. sigh. annoying.

yesterday, the crew came out and we had pizza, although my appetite has been really poor, which is kind of good, because i have gained some weight. anyway, everyone wanted to get icecream and i said that i would make oatmeal cookies, and everyone quickly said….OKAY! i made half plain and half dark chocolate chip. they came out well, although the second batch got darker than i would have liked. i really like cooking and baking for people. i understand why my granny likes to cook and bake, it shows love. i used the recipe from the lid of quaker oats, probably the only recipe i have ever used, due to it’s availability. otherwise, we just hung out and i spun. butter bitched me out for never answering my phone. it is really bad. the only person i 100% always answer the phone for is jake, because he would be mega pissed if i didn’t. but it is a problem. shameful and bad. and i swore to butter that i would answer, no matter what.

so, to refresh your memories, we are coming up with names for my friends john and diana’s forthcoming baby girl…you may win a skein of purdy yarn, so post names! post em! do it! also, we are doing a “ask lady diana” column, so if you have a question of any kind, post it or email it to me and we very well may pick it. ok?

last night, i was cruising a bunch of japanese blogs and found this gorgeous website it is rather goth, and she makes dolls. i wish there were a better word to describe the gorgeous creatures that she makes. the faces are incredible. i shudder to think what they must cost, because they are just amazing. and then, a bunch of links i found from there….
this one
many different ways to call someone a whore in antiquated language
free tarot reading with gorgeous tarot cards
neko peklo…gorgeous!

my head is ready to explode due to the constant headache/doing computer stuff for the last 3 hours or so. how do you computer pros do it? how?

also, i am including some photos of my wearing my awesome necklace and earring from my trade with kriyaand then just one that is kind of interesting that jake took…
oh, by the way, one of my bestest customers, julie, bought 2 more skeins of yarn within moments of me posting it. she rocks! i need to send her a fruit basket or something. thanks julie! you rock!

smoochies,

i stayed up late drinking decaf and packing orders and generally shuffling things around in my studio. i am no good at organization. no good at all. but i try.

i have been carding crazy batts to sell. and it is hard not to spin them myself. i have so many odds and ends, that i refuse to get rid of, no matter how small, no matter what it is, that i have bags and bags and bags of them. and! i have been mixing colors like red and pink. red and yellow. you name it, i will mix it. and it will look good. it will. so i will be doing an update on sunday around 5ish, so check by luxefibre.com and also to luxe.etsy.com ok? ok.

i dyed tons of fiber. in fact, all the fiber i have left, and i need to order some soon. i mean wool. i have other stuff. just not merino, the staple of my spinning. i did a bunch of a fuschia-ish merino, a teal bunch, a bright green and a berry-ish one. and 5 skeins of indian throwster silk, some pink and brown, some berry flavored. i am excited to rinse them out. so. a big big pot of fiber and yarn.

so! i have noticed on gilmore girls that since rory has gone to college, they have made her wear the best bras that i have ever seen in my life. her boobs look so nice. how do i get a bra like that? tell me! granted, the big boobs i have were never the little perkies that she has, not ever. i had none. then i had these. that was how it worked. when i was a little girl, i wanted to be womanly. badly. i wanted to wear a bra. i had a purse, and i put tampons and tissues in it. that was what my mom had in hers, i guess. someone else i know, lets call her emily, used to put cat food in her purse and say it was her pills, i think. i also had the fake credit cards that you get in the mail in my purse, from my dad. a girl needs a credit card. i still remember my card number…12345678910…so, on my dad’s side of the family, the ladies have humungous boobs, and i was punished for wanting boobs. although, my granny on that side had boobs so huge that she had to get custom made bras. so let’s hope that never happens to me. i remember looking up at her, as a little girl and just seeing boobs.

has anyone seen commercials for the wild? it has kiefer sutherland, william shatner, janeane garofalo, and….EDDIE IZZARD as a koala bear. which is odd, because he has a posh british accent, not aussie. not. it looks cute.

also, jake worked this morning, that is to say, he gets up at like 2:15a, anyway, when he came home, i woke up shortly after he got home in the morning, and he stopped at krispy kreme and got me donuts for breakfast, plus he always makes me coffee on the weekends. he is so sweet.

i accidentally deleted bunch of stuff, and hit undo. oh, undo, i love you so.

ok. i must do work. rinse fiber time.

xo,

well! keep the baby girl names for john and diana coming…let me refresh your memory…if they pick one of your names, you will get a skein of purdy yarn. so! and they like unusual names and names that can be ambiguous. although, my husband, who i call jake(a family nickname) is actually named dana, which he hates. anyone else with an ambiguous name knows the drill, when we eat out, he gives them the credit card, they give it back to me. mail comes for him, like from our mortgage company addressed to “miss dana…” and he gets really pissed off. so. at least with a pet name, other animules won’t mock them for their stupid name. haha your name is fluffy! our cats have very sophisticated names, so that would never happens. well, peeps is really a nickname, on account of…well, she pees. on stuff. carpet. bath mats. runners. doormats. we have virtually no carpeting for that very reason. and i hate it, also. but once, i caught her peeing on a brand new bathmat like a minute after i put it down. i yelled at her and then grabbed her…flipped her over…she kept peeing. all over me and herself. peepee is her full name now. it used to be kathe…with an umlaut over the a, named after a tremendous german WWII artist kathe kollwitz who lived through the degenerate art and literature movement and documented that time. she was not jewish, but her and her husband who was a doctor tried to take care of the poor and then during the war, actually hid and tried to smuggle people out, just an amazing story. but she did paintings and prints, until the war, when the troops would show up and feel your brushes to make sure they weren’t wet, that you hadn’t been painting, so like many other artists living in europe at that time, drawing was the only thing you could do. easy to hide, easy to afford, although even paper was scarce. and in the end it is one of the few things we have left, because the nazis burned and destroyed (or sold for ridiculous amounts of money these degenerist works)and that sort of an eye into what was happening. as a jew, the feeling i get when i think about it…that i am lucky to have stuff to complain about. if they came through, how can i let things stand in my way. anyway, kathe did some gorgeous outdoor sculpture on the holocaust. one about mothers and children. just so sad. so insane that it happened not so long ago. and many people think that way still.

so, as i said, peeps is not really her name, but even just the sound of the word is fitting. she is verry cute. and full of piss.

otherwise, i spun a good bit today, filled a bunch more orders and yesterday realized that i had sent one to the post office without a label on it. yup. and clearly, you must have an address for it to get mailed. so it goes out to-mmorrow. got it? good! but so it has been good! things have suddenly started moving, so i hope that means it will continue on so…but who knows. take it as it comes. paying the bills would rock.

here is another fun thing i want to start. i dye fiber every week. sometimes more often. ooooh especially when it gets warm. so! send me ideas if you like. it is surprisingly fun. and if i pick your idea…you may get a littles skein. so suggest a fiber, color scheme, even something plied in….or you could send me junk and ask me to do something with it. my sad orifice(the hole on my spinning wheel, don’t be vulgar!) at the mo is only about 7/16 of an inch so keep that in mind if it is a bauble of some sort, but send whatever, fiber, not lama and not unwashed. otherwise, whatever. maybe i can even take overflow and make one yarn out of the utter madness. or if you are looking for a certain kind in a certain color or idea, just ask. remember folks, i used to tattoo, you would not believe the things i have seen. and done. so send stuff. email me and i will send my addresss. oooooh i am so excited. it can be brushings from any animal (not a llama), beads, dodads, thread, a chain, jewelry, hair, wigs, fabric, you name it. it can be an ongoing prjoect with an objct once a week. we will see how much interest there is first.

can you tell i am tired and just writing strange stuff. i would kill for some nutella on my freshly baked bread sitting downstairs. ok, going down to macgiver some nutella. or just butter. and a coffee maybe. i know, it is after midnight, decaf. decaf. relax. senseo double strength with 2 splendas and a whipped heavy cream. it does a body good.

and i need to order more wool. that is a good think.

apologies for any irrational ramblings. i meant it all.

sloppy kisses full of love and affection.

*edit-i am delerious late at night, and for that very reason, i try not to talk on the phone, buy stuff online(i won’t remember) or BLOG. i had no idea that i blabbered so much about so little. apologies.

so. slow day, feeling crummy, just winding skeins and taking photos and i got some packages, of silk yarn to dye…weeee….and a trade i did, which she has gotten bubkas from so far, but i will send her stuff…she sent me this amazing heart necklace, which i immediately put on and wore out to dinner, these earrings, which are for my ears, which were intentionally stretched to hold big plugs, but i am letting them shrink…and they look gorgeous. i will have the husband take photos tomorrow of them on. she also sent me this super cool bracelet that i may be able to wear as an anklet because i have miniature bones. but a full sized ass. and then some. so! kriya’s store is there and not only are her pieces gorgeous and unique, they are so inexpensive. if you saw that piece somewhere else for 10 times the price, it would look right. really. the boutique that has some of my things, sugar would love her stuff, so i will shoot an email over there.

i met up with john again tonite, and was not feeling so great all day, but i had to go. i did find however, that i miss getting to be in the car singing super loud, just surrounded by music. really surreal. when i took the trip to spinning camp i enjoyed driving alone also. i am all growed up!

we had a really good time, and as always, it is like i saw him yesterday. we are the same as we ever were. we were just meant to be friends. he gave me away at my wedding. i am not a person that cares so much what people think of me, especially with regard to how i live my life, or what kind of a person i am, or my art or work…but i care about what john thinks. i always have. but he always seems to have the same point of view that if i am doing it, it is good. just like jake is. and really, i view him the same way. except that john seems never to make a bad choice. although really, a bad choice is what you make of it. if you decide that it is no big deal, it wasn’t so bad. as opposed to being torn apart with it.

john and diana are having a perfect little girl and are searching for a name for her. so! in that spirit. suggest names and the winning name, if any, will get a skein of yarn, i will give you a selection to choose from…they like unusual names, but pretty.

so anyway, i told john i need to go soon because my patch had worn off and the heebie jeebies had begun. sweating, etc. ooh so fun! like being in menopause and detox from heroine all at once. yes! i will be ready when it comes. i bounced my legs so much non stop for more than 4 hours that i have a really bad leg cramp that won’t go away. not cool. at all. i gotta treadle with these gams.

further, i have developed mysterious brown circles under my eyes. like a fading black eye. when i take off my makeup i am freaked. my best friend in high school that had mediteranean anemia had circles like that. and my appetite has dropped to nothing, which i am not complaining about, but i normally am a snacker. and i am not.

ok, i am super out of it, but i saw a couple of minutes of sex in the city, and carrie was wearing several different outfits that were very dressy that had a bra hanging out the back. i forgot about that time in fashion. a bra strap? ok. an entire bra back with a strapless dress? not so much.

new pics on flickr, fyi and i will be updating the store today.

pray for me that i feel alert and giddy when i wake up. and no leg cramps. ok?

later…i looked up the brown circles under the eyes…they call them “allergic shiners” and i think it is allergies. thanks jesus. i swear, they look like a shiner. so i guess i just need to go back on my allergy meds. i have been sneezing and sniffling.

also, i had a discussion with john about how i constantly feel lazy, unsure if i am really “that sick” and that if it was someone else in my place, that they would be able to push through it. it is possible. he told me that he has always been amazed at how many things i do, not for a sick person, but for anyone, and that blew me away. this was a part of the why i shouldn’t have/adopt kids discussion, that i feel that i barely do anything here, or take care of myself, let alone poor jake and the kitties. jake, the best husband in the universe, and beyond does so much, without a complaint, and makes me life as easy as possible, save for having a housekeeper/cook/person to carry me around and bring me whatever i want. a maid i guess.

ok. legs are killing me. waiting for jake to wake up and rub them. and i hope to sleep. i am tired all the way through.

smoooches.

we went to dinner with one of my most favorite peeps in the world…ne-galaxy…last night. as you know, i have been fighting a migraine for a few days now…i took a new pill that my dr had given me, napped for 15 minutes and when jake woke me up, i felt better. high, but better. i can do high. so we went. i was ravenously hungry, gobbled about half of my food. and then…my head didn’t hurt, but the nausea part of the migraine came back. i went to the bathroom. sat on the toilet with my head between my knees. ok. i feel better. get up, exit the stall. oh no…i am gonna puke…go sit back down…head betwixt knees…repeat several times, while jake and john wonder if i am the chubbiest bulemic ever. i finally pull it together and i really want to stay, but i have the chills and that pukey feeling, and i worry that i might puke in the car. so we leave, planning to see each other tonight, as well. we get home, i shower, take migraine drugs, decide to knit a clutch to dye and do some shibori on and felt. i remember knitting it. when i wake up, it has been frogged and wound back onto the ball. so odd. i also eat stuff and don’t remember. or bake. or write emails. or have conversations. i attempt not to talk to anyone late at night, although amy is well aware that i do it and just disregards anything i say, like “we should go to london next month!” despite the fact that we have no money. stuff like that. i get all these smart ideas when i am in that state.

what else? i was woken up this morning by a friend, whose name i will not mention…let’s call him dave, calling me from um…PRISON…to ask me to tell my mother in law that he will not be making it to work this morning. understandably.

i am going to take photos of yarn and such now because it is sunny today. so. photos soon. i swear it.

smooochies and all of that,
n.

the needle is my brush and the thread is my paint. handkerchiefs are my canvas and my muse is death.”
-the embroiderer

jason “handsome” hansen sent me a link to this hilarious (pronounced high-lair-ious) blog, and short story about an embroiderer. soooo funny. he said he imagined that to be how i work. not many people know that i have killed many an enemy by stuffing loose llama wool (ew! and it stinks!) down people’s throats, like in the cook, the thief, his wife and her lover. except that was books. but this smells way worse. don’t mess with me. you know?

the store has been doing well, and i blew almost all the cash on fiber. wooo! i needed it. and i went through 15 pounds of merino in less than a month, i think.

kpixie ordered 10 more skeins because everything sold. what do you think of that? pretty cool!

i packed up orders today and tried to brave my headache that never goes away. i also spun a big bobbin full of thinish silk, which is super pretty and shiny. yummmo!

i called dharma trading, the best company in the world to ask ernest how to mix a few strange colors. when i do oil painting, or use inks or watercolors i have no problem mixing colors, in fact, a while ago my friend john from pdx tried to encourage me to get a job at his company as a color mixer…i am that slick at it…but with dyes…it isn’t the same. isn’t predictable at all. and certain colors just don’t want to mix right. they are so great there. also, carrie, i asked for you about the ecospun, and they said that it probably isn’t dyeable except for the super toxic dyes, being that it is plastic. i guess nylon is a fluke because it mimics the structure of silk. hope that helped.

also, i did sock yarn and some mohair and the sock yarn looks so gorgeous. it makes me want to knit socks. i will learn. just in time for summer! also, my sock yarn person told me that the way to skein them from a skein is with ANOTHER skein winder. 2 winders! wooot wooot. 2 winders in the hizzy.

otherwise, still super exhausted and then the headache medicine makes me spaced out and tired. it is an excellent combo.

i just got a huge box of a mohair blend (i think) from the awesome and beautiful chocolatte…and it is a lot. so i owe her. i may just have to card up some crazy batts for her. i am so frickin bad at sending stuff out to people. my memory blows, and i am a procrastinator. i think that i can send something better, this isn’t good enough, i will dye this…i will do this…and then i never do. shameful!

it is breezy out and the windchimes are ringing and it is so nice. winter is almost over. yay! i didn’t take photos due to being too tired to get up and down and up and down, but if the weather is nice to-morrow i will post stuff. i need to update the store, also, which is almost totally empty. and i am adding fiber to the store. i have a couple and they sold. so that is fun! i can use up the millions of bits and pieces. woot woot.

ok, off to prep fiber for spinning.
smooochies!

i got up to take the car. took a quick shower. it was sunny. i thought, “i
should get up early more often! get stuff done!” i get home by 9:30a…do some stuff, check email, prep fiber…exhaustion overcomes me. i get a coffe and some cereal. i try to call pgh knit and bead to make sure that they hold a skein of yarn for someone who bought it. they don’t open until 11:30. i fall asleep. exhausted like i haven’t slept in a month and just ran a marathon. i didn’t. run a marathon, i mean. i wake up and it is about 2. i had crazy dreams about getting heat stroke while in pittsburgh, getting a migraine, getting lost and not remembering any phone numbers to call. strange. when i wake, i call knit and bead and they tell me that moments before someone came in and bought 11 skeins of my yarn. including that one. moments before. sigh. i had emailed them a few days ago about holding it for me, but i don’t know if they check their email. ah well. i was able to get enough of the fiber together to spin another and then threw in a matching skein of bordeaux ingeo that is super pretty. i would have taken photos of the ton of yarn i have spun somehow in the past few days despite my exhaustion, but it was dark and dismal save for about an hour this morning. hopefully to-morrow it will be better. i have had a migraine today, also, or i am just totally zonked and out of it. so much for getting up early, huh?

i also dyed some sock yarn, that looks amazing, a vibrant salmony orange with brown, gorgeous! it will be self striping for socks. also a big fatty skein of gorgeous mohair dyed in similar colors and a bunch of fiber. i still need to rinse it out. but it looks amazing. wooot wooot! i want to spin it to-morrow, so despite my exhaustion i am going to hang it up tonite.

someone emailed me interested in my wheel. i hope it comes through. i emailed her back and she hasn’t replied. as soon as i know for sure, i will order my new wheel so as not to have no wheel for any length of time, g-d forbid. also, i am told by the woman that i get my yarns from that you need a skeiner and a swift to wind sock yarn from skein to smaller skein, so i will have to order a winder, also. ja wohl. that is what i thought. no big thang. i will get an umbrella swift so i can fold it down easily. photos to-morrow. i swear it.

the gloves in a bottle came today, and i dyed in my usual manner, but put the lotion on first, which doesn’t feel like anything, and my hands didn’t get stained except for a bit of my cuticle. as far as keeping my hands soft, we will see. i got a bottle for my mom in law, as well.

one of my bestest friends in the universe, john from pdx, is in town this week, so we will see him for dinner to-morrow and i hope to see him thursday, as well. wooot wooot! pray for me to feel awake and alert for the rest of this week. pray! also, my friend jade, on the other side of the earth has similar health problems to mine and has been feeling really shite lately, so put good thoughts in her direction, she could really use them! the lucky girl has an electric wheel so even when she is super tired she can spin! pretty cool!

ok, here are some adorable links before i rinse fiber and zonk out. i think maybe this batch of pain medicine is stronger than it should be. zzzzzz….

feckle wonder’s monsters…lulu!

my buddy jen that i am trading with for a deer shirt!

smallfry crafts…she was on that’s clever!

….with this obi that you can move around!

a blog just filled with great decoration stuff.

gorgeous jewelry, and i have one! my rockstar hubby! wooo! another? hmmmm. either birds or poppy.

these purses….rock! i got lots of these links from her link department. super cute things.

well…i sold a skein of yarn that i had taken off of my site to take to pittsburgh. i am not sure why, but it didn’t come down. it was still there. i need to see if i can get the skein back, if it wasn’t bought. i have a bad feeling that it was bought. anyway, i need to drive to pgh tomorrow, pop by pgh knit and bead and then to sugar to show jamie the goods and see if she wants anything at all. and i really want to keep doing business with her. i love that shop. just gorgeous things. someday, i can buy some.

i sold a bunch of stuff lately, so i need to pack everything up and get it out, my custom yarn took longer than i wanted it to, but it is nice and i gave her extra yardage. but still. so i need to do that, i have no fiber left that is dyed, i need to order fiber, dye yarn…blah blah blah.
