i am a bad bad blogger. i have had the migraine/fatigue combo that i know and love to well over the last week or so, i guess. i can’t even remember what day is what. for you migraine peeps out there, i am sure you are familiar with the brain scramble it causes after the fact. jeebus. on saturday, i got up after not sleeping very well (weird nightmares as always), took a shower, but on the uniform (overalls) and got to spinning. i think i watched the last 2 nip/tucks from last season that day, so i guess i worked around 2 hours. i started to sweat. and it wasn’t hot. sweat pouring down my back. i get ther mercury taste in my mouth. dizzy. i think maybe i didn’t eat enough. we were getting groceries that night so we were out of just about everything, i eat something and realize it is a migraine. i take my pill, grudgingly because it makes me really sleepy and fally asleep from about 3 until butta (jason) comes at 6ish, i think. i am a zombie all night. i am up until the wee wee hours. today, feel okay, but have the odd high that i get prior to a migraine, i spin a bit and then go to joann’s to use the 15 coupons i have (seriously, i get 2 sets of them) and i made out like a bandit. virtually anytime i shop in a box store of any kind, i get a headache, i think from the lights. i come home and conk out from 4 until 7:30. suck. so i got next to nothing done today. although, i got some more mesh for the woven scarves that go over so well at the boutiques and some yarn for them and scrap yarns that were seriously on sale. also, some triangular canvases cheap (woot!) which i did sketches for, some good paints and some halloween fixins for some yarns that will be really fun. wait and see! i need to do dyeing soon. i am out of dyed fiber for the most part.
so now, i was actually trying not to use the computer because i have the migraine high that normally turns back into the migraine full-on and i am nauseous again. so that is good. yay! i barely saw jake all weekend because i was either spinning or sleeping.
i had planned to do the tutorial, but obviously didn’t get a chance, as well as wanting to take photos of the zillion things i have done, yarns, paintings, drawings (everyday!) even if they are sucky. for instance, i have drawn my cell phone and my cockups, ne wrist braces for lack of anything else to draw. i am also working on some cute illustrations for some little paintings that i think will go over well. based on my favorite chicken boy vintage illustration. oh, also, i got fusable webbing to help with doing some art pieces with embroidery on vintage linens. finally. so.
also, i knitted up all of the scrap yarn that i spun. it goes a long way. i also got a couple of special requests for it. it is nice that everyone likes it so much. i am not sure myself what i think of it. again, if anyone wants something they see, it isn’t for sale on my site, so drop me a comment or email and i will make one up special for ya as soon as these orders get filled. i counted how many yarns are in them (on average) and most of them have more than 30 different yarns! holy crap! so you can knit it up in just garter stitch or a drop stitch on gigantor needles and it looks fancy. i made a couple of necky things with it, too, that look cool. i just need to attach a big button on them to close. i have done so much stuff, i have huge boxes full of all sorts of stuff all over the studio. i don’t like it being messy, even though i am a fairly messy person. ask jess, she saw the mess. i think if her hubby had put the baby down, she may still be here.
i also plan to do some shibori felted scarves from recycled wool sweaters, with embroidery and beading/sequins. i plan to pop by st.v de p to-morrow before my dr’s appointment. fingers crossed.
what else? not much, due to my sleeping all the freakin time. it drives me bonkers. i hate it. i know there is nothing i can do, but still.
ok. i am going to read (bad idea, i know). i have been reading before bed every night, drawing before that, and turning off the tv if there is not something really good on. just to try to quiet my brain in general. although, with it being fall, there are some good good shows on! that is a whole other post. and battlestar gallactica starts on my birthday! october 6! yay! and gilmore girls starts soon. i am so excited to see what happens. eeeeeep!
here is a scarf for sugar. handspun with all sorts of scraps for the fringe. must. have. fringe.
forgive me if i posted it already. like yesterday. my brains are more scrambled than usual. also, i know not how to use the spellcheck for firefox (anyone?) it has spellcheck on blogger here, but it doesn’t do anything when i click on it, so i apologize for crazy spelling.
smooooooch!

oh my god, its freaking GORGEOUS!!!!
sorry you’re feeling down. I use to get bad migraines all the time, thankfully-they’ve lessened up ALOT but I know that ‘next day recovery period” all too well!
hope you feel better tomorrow, and damn you did make out at Joann! I still have 1/2 my coupons left cause everythign was on sale and they won’t use them on sale stuff (at these joanns up here)
and I didn’t buy scrap yarn, I forgot!
so sorry about the migranes. ugh… and i’m such a horrid speller – i never notice spelling stuff… feel better!
I made out at Joann’s too.
Your spell check may not be working because of a pop-up blocker.
Sometimes alot of computer gives me ocular migranes.
Wow, Joann’s takes more than one coupon per transaction? Michael’s and AC Moore take only one coupon per transaction, which is a total pain in the butt.
I hope your migraines pass quickly and with as little more disruption to your day as possible! It’s amazing how much you still get done from day to day! You’re incredible – and that scarf is GORGEOUS!
Oh, how much do I owe you again for that yarn? I think I might order some fiber from your site I’ve been eyeballing for awhile – do you want me to do it through Luxe and you just send me an invoice for both, or do you just want me to tell you which batt and how much for both, and I’ll send you a Paypal payment? Let me know what’s easiest for you!
Awww – your poor brain. I hate that scrambled feeling after a migraine. I can never think a straight thought.
The scarf is absolutely gorgeous!
I call my yarns that I put all of the odds and ends into my scrap yarns, too! Funny.
So, I’m finally doing the Halloween skeins. Finished Jingle Hell and Fall Gutter (both sold) and have Hell’s Bells on the bobbin right now. It has been the most crazy, hectic week at yarnwench – there are some serious yarnaholics out there and apparently I am an enabler…
Feel better, sweetie. xoxo
awww, honey. I am a migraine girl, too. If there is a massage college near you, treat yourself and get one. They’re cheaper than us professional rub masters and can really help stave off a bad headouch.
The scarf is scrumptious, btw.
don’t beat yourself up. I am a much worse blogger then you are. Not only can’t I spell but almost everything I say in stupid. Except for that bit about wool being evil.
Oh anyone insterested in that wetlands. Cheap Cheap price to go.
aw, thanks zeeps. your self-degradation always makes me feel better!
thanks barbe, my mom doesn’t get them so much now, so maybe it is a hormonal thing.
lisa, thanks! i am glad you don’t notice, or don’t admit it, anyway.
cheryl, i think you are right! we should have gone together to joann’s. we do have a good pop up blockage going.
lynn, it is so odd to me that people go so crazy over seasonal yarns, because i am not a seasonal person, myself. they are fun to make though.
my brain is still a bit muddled.
flutter, that is a great idea! i do love massages. i think i may have been a dog in my last life. and i have so much poison in me that i get really sick after a massage. ew.
