weekend update

My weekend was a very full and wonderful despite another bout with the white stuff.  Seems that most of New England has now been tricked or treated to a dose of October snow.  Today, being that we’ve made it through the season’s first, we have a warm and sunny day.   After my usual trip to the diner Friday night for a fish and chip dinner (without the chips) I came home to ply up the mystery wool I’d cleaned, carded and spun during the week.  I wanted to see what it looked like before I finished it up. 

 
It was a good way to spend the remainder of the evening.   The rest of the weekend was all penciled in.  Since I type SO SLOWLY and would really like to get this post out today, I’m going to cut to the chase, skip the details, and give you the photo essay in a nutshell kind of thing.  Here goes…

  Saturday afternoon spin-in at RI Handspun.  This stuff  (yeah, I know, Barbie wants her yarn back), I love it.  I love that sparkle, the alpaca, and the silk.  It’s fun.  It may just make some little girl happy, or maybe just me.

Saturday night, in the snow, I headed over to the Vietnamese restaurant for dinner before the all Mozart concert at the Philharmonic.  Best concert in a very long time. 

Sunday morning, Cindy and I head to Portland Maine.  After a four year search, I was rewarded several weeks ago by a phone call from a woman wanting to sell this to me.

If you can identify it, you know just how hard it was to locate. 

I’ll leave you with these.. in between office work there is this..

and this..
