hmmmm…. where has time gone?? Thursday C drove to NH and swapped my MIL for a frozen turkey (the turkey was a perfect house guest, can’t say the same for .. ermm…), Friday we swapped a nephew for a daughter at an airport, oh, and gave the turkey to an ex spouse to cook for Thanksgiving, can I make this sound any weirder?? Truth is, it was a pretty good weekend. I’ll see the turkey (and the MIL) later this week, can’t have everything, right?.
The season has begun. I have to turn this..
into lots and lots of this..
I’m not sure what took me so long to catch onto what every kid with a computer already knows. Movies can be played on the computer. It occurred to me the other night while I was tying the first of the season. Since then, I too have started watching DVDs on my computer (there isn’t a TV in my studio) while turning thousands of yards of 4"-6" wide stinking flocked ribbon into hundreds of stinking red bows. This morning a trip to the library is in order. MORE MOVIES! So how about some movie suggestions. Any must sees, all time favs I should hunt for?
Sunday, I took a lovely break from the red curse. Laurie, Cindy and her daughter, and Sue came by. I spun nearly a bobbin full of Bess, emptying my basket of carded rolags. We ate, we talked, we knitted and spun the afternoon away. Marissa and I modeled our Ribby Cardis. Thanks girlfriends for a lovely respite. I think it was Laurie that mentioned that it isn’t even so much about the knitting as it is about the possibilities. It’s all knitted dreams in my near future.
ps. You know what?? Cindy is usually the only one in the group that
remembers to take pictures.. I bet if you pop over there, she’ll have
something up.

Those singles look so light and airy on the bobbin. Makes me wish I could touch them. And thanks for the wonderful account of seeing the Dalai Lama. It sounds like an incredible experience!
Holy COW, that’s a lot of red ribbons! Where are they? In VT or RI or CT? I can never figure out where you are at any one time!
Bess looks so fine spun up in that gauge. The picture of the ribbons brings home how much work that truly is. Whew.
Thanks for a wonderful, sunny, fun afternoon! It was hard to come home, plunk my wheel back in the family room, and realize how different it feels to spin alone.
Wow…you got bows galore!!! Your handspun Bess is a super gray color. Whatja gonna make?
Some good movies – “The Rabbit Proof Fence” – a true story of aboriginal girls who escaped from a govt school and traveled across AU back to their family.
“Diary of a City Priest” – a very quiet reflective movie about a year in the life of a priest on Philly.
And one of my favorites – the ’92 version of Last of the Mohicans with Daniel Day-Lewis.
