These are the titles you get when my brain is fried! Today I’ve been busy winding, photographing, and uploading new stuff to the store. The Fiber Friday post will actually occur in the morning, since it is all written. (Yay for drafts!)
Here are some pictures of the gardening I did the other day. Click to go where I have notes all over the pictures as a tour!
The hostas were all in a giant clump where you see the bigger clumps (I may still divide that area, and put them in the back yard). There’s some perennials planted behind the hostas, but you can’t really see them. Next year they will be nice and big like my Salvia, Bleeding Heart, and Columbine that are in the garden to the left. I put in the stone steps this year, too, which precipitated the moving of the hostas.
Now, a story for you. Last night, my beautiful young boy, in his playful ‘are you ready to go yet’ goofing around (read exuberant and annoying), decided to push the button on the doorknob of my studio and close the door. Him not knowing much about locks, was surprised to note that he could not open it again, and came to tell me so. Me, hands in navy blue dye, did not hurry to open it, since I didn’t need to get in there right away. Fast forward to this morning. Yay, an order….lets get it ready to ship! Oh yeah. The door. No problem, just poke something in it and the button pops like on all the other doors in the house. Um, nope. Funny, I got it open the last time when my daughter locked the cat in there. More poking turns to pounding. Still no opening. I’m about to dismantle the doorknob or take the door off the hinges. Grrrr. Then I looked a bit closer. The pushy thingy had a slit, like for a small key. I found something to fit in there and twisted. Pop. Easy as pie. I was as pink as the yarn I shipped.
Anyway, I’ve wound off a cone of the new bamboo yarn into sock sized skeins, and am having fun playing with them. I’ll be dyeing the first yarn for sock club next week, and I’ll have some nice variegated colors for you in the bamboo blend.
