We took our new camper for a spin at Morrow Mountain this last weekend. Here it is: It's so much more roomy inside than our other one. We love it! (And we were so excited to find out that the park had added electric to some of their campsites, woo hoo! That means we can… Continue reading Camping, Frog pond, and a Capelet

Is there a weight on my chest?
So, we've been having trouble with Joseph staying in bed at night. He and William share a room - and since William needs access to the bathroom at night, we don't lock the door. He constantly gets out and wanders downstairs. We repremand him (aka spanking) and put him back in bed, lather rinse repeat,… Continue reading Is there a weight on my chest?

Computer Problems, Tunic Progress and Charlotte Purls
So this last week was a sucky computer week for DH (and me too, by extension!!) First our power supply on the web server went dead, so hubby had to order a new one - which meant that our website was down for a good week (which isn't really *that* bug of a deal, since… Continue reading Computer Problems, Tunic Progress and Charlotte Purls
Here she is!
Her name is Brygitta. I think it's a very pretty Polish name. (I wouldn't tell her otherwise, because she seems a little testy right now ;-)) (Ignore the pile of laundry in the background! ::blush::)It's taking me a little getting used to, but I think I'm learning quickly. Right now I have her set on… Continue reading Here she is!
My Wheel is on its way!
So I've spun a couple of batches now on my drop spindle: This was my first attempt - nice enough, but *not* what I was going for, so I tried again, and this is what I got: Now that's more like it!!!! I could actually knit me some sockys out of this stuff - I'm… Continue reading My Wheel is on its way!
The Spinning Bug has bit again!
So, I now officially have another fiber obsession. Spinning! I'm loving spinning on my drop spindle, but I can now see the usefulness of a spinning wheel. Spinning straight to a bobbin? Not having to stop the spindle and manually wind up the yarn a foot at a time? I'm there! (Hopefully, maybe, sometime soon!)… Continue reading The Spinning Bug has bit again!
Pigeon Forge and other ramblings
We got back from our Thanksgiving trip yesterday. We had a wonderful time! It rained on Thanksgiving day, but we had our meal at the cabin, so it was alright - it was actually nice not having to go out to a restaurant for the meal. On our way out of town yesterday we stopped… Continue reading Pigeon Forge and other ramblings
