After much computer work today, I announce the grand opening of my new etsy online shop:
Now I’m going to go rest the crick in my neck I’m suffering as a symptom of “mouse shoulder.”
Artist Showcase
July 20, 2009 at 4:16 pm (Knitting, Spinning)
On July 7, I got to demonstrate spinning as an “artist showcase” at the public library, whose summer reading theme is “Be Creative At Your Library.”
I spun for about two hours.
I showed off some of my work — a lot of felted and other stuff I had around, and some stuff I whipped up quickly since I tend to give a lot of my work away.
My mum dropped by and examined my work — mums are good at that and at lending support!
There were visitors of all ages (that’s my 89 year old grandmother).
My friend Lacy managed to escape the photos but brought me iced coffee (I’m always grateful to Coffee Girl). Several students came by, most scooting past like they didn’t know the crazy spinning lady, to my great amusement. And of course I got to interact with members of the community and introduce them to the spinning process. It was a lot of work to arrange but well worth it!
Life Just Doesn’t Slow Down

Extremely quick post — it’s 8:30, I just got home around 8:00 after working since 7:30 today. Parent / teacher conferences and the book fair. 1/2 day tomorrow and then the holiday weekend. Whoo-hoo!
My tear duct surgery went well; I no longer have a swollen eye and very little scar tissue.
After my follow-up appointment to get my stitches out, I dropped by a new (for me) LYS near the doctor’s office.
And scored some great fiber. Wool / alpacca blend. 8 oz. This will keep me busy for a while (after my stealth knitting is finished).
It’s more green than the blue/green here, but the light was icky the day I took the picture.
And, in addition to lots of stealth knitting, I finished a baby gift for a friend who’s due on my birthday. Cat included not for scale but because she’s too lazy to move.
