whoa. that is all i can say. i am sitting down for the first time today. jakie went to new york for a business trip at the last minute, so i took the opportunity to get lots of stuff done. lots and lots.

i got up early to start dyeing, i will post pics to-morrow of the rest of it. i did lots of superwash merino, some merino/soy silk blend, some locks and some soy silk. lovely. i will be listing some to-morrow i think. i would do it tonite but i am so out of it that i can barely see straight. okay, so here is a pic of the yarny stuff for the day…

i also did some sewing, trying to make some baggy crappy shirts into something special. again, i will be sure to keep you posted. i had hoped to get em done tonite, but i am just too tired. i overdid it, i fear. i was just non-stop and then i was in the sun hanging up fiber and messing with it, cleaning up the back deck, bringing the fiber in. i cleaned the kitchen, the studio, organized a bit, did some sewing, is that all? literally, i only have one eye open. so. so. tired. i was sweating so much outside that my pain patch partially fell off. gah.

last week (i think?) i took this cheapo top that i have in olive as well and embroidered it with this vintage kitty “gardner”
and then did some other decorative embroidery and i now like it much better. i haaate wearing white. i feel large in white and it doesn’t look so good against my skin in its yellow glory. anyway, i may still dye it, but i do like how it came out. i used those patterns from aunt lydia (is that the name?) and the stencil looks like a coloring book page, it irons on in a second, literally, not like the other patterns and pencils i have attempted to use, you can use them multiple times and the pattern is black black black, and i accidentally ironed it on through the front and back and it washed out! and it was cheap! i like to embroider my own drawerings, too, but these are really nice.

okay, i am spacing out and i haven’t even checked email yet today, and i reckon that i won’t, either. gah.

mwah!

no really, there is a bird in the attic, poor guy. i heard tapping all day, it sounded like hammering, jake went up there to see what was going on, and there was a bird, banging on the window over and over and over. i put some wild bird feed we had on a dish and some water up there and we haven’t heard anything, so i hope that doesn’t mean the poor guy is dead. i think he might be though. he literally banged on the window for 10 hours or something. poor guy. he seemed really lethargic and didn’t fly, just jumped at the window. when it is light, we will go up and try to catch him in a blanket as barbe suggested and put him outside if he seems okay.

the fluffalicious podcast seems to be going okay. i am hoping we can do one a week. in case you weren’t sick of me already. i am doing my best to learn as much about podcast stuff as i can, and it is minimal. i am trying to get the logo done, asap. anyway, if you haven’t listened yet, go listen, okay?

so, more of the weird people things…not sure what they are about, can’t get them out of my head.

i have more to say, i am just a bit out of it. i am watching the black donnelly’s which looks pretty good so far. and there are several people from oz, which i adored. not many shows with so much male full frontal nudity these days. sheesh.
***edit-i watched the black donnelly’s and man is it fantastic. even though i am really tired, i had to post it. so good. it reminds me of the art mafia i am the godmother of. mainly we kill em with our bad attitudes, and by we, i mean…me.
