Quiet here today

Is everybody busy outside?

It's raining here (but badly needed), so I can't really complain. I've
started some tomato plants which I will set outside in approximately 3
weeks, and have planted two rows of peas.

I have golf on TV (love it), and will likely spend the evening knitting on
socks and a shawl.

What's happening with the rest of the RCTY world???

It is lovely in my corner of the world at present. I took the
oppotunity to wash some fleece and I've been carding like a demon
(though it doesn't feel as if I'm getting through the stacks to be
done very fast).

I'm motivated to get through my currently unprocessed fleece as I've
just purchased some more (which I most deifnitely wasn't supposed to
do). $5 for over a kilo of merino - how is a girl supposed to resist
that!

weeks, and have planted two rows of peas.

Fresh peas - divine. Puts me in mind to sow some more myself.

Have a great weekend.

Trying to finish a baby blanket before the new arrival gets here!
The new arrival will belong to a young man at work and his wife, not
to me!
Also have sifted through the sock yarn stash a gazillion times but
can't seem to decide on a particular yarn or pattern. I'm leaning
towards a shell stitch and one of the self striping yarns. Or maybe
a sock pattern a friend sent me with one of the pretty solid coloured
Wensleydale wools she also sent ( she sent me 8 balls of different
colours! ).......or maybe that new vividly coloured Trekking yarn that
just came out: got one with shades of greens and burnt oranges.
Would also like to try one of the new Tofutsies yarns that I bought
recently, have the bright pink, the bright rainbow stripey one and the
other ball has pinks and greens varigated. I feel like I need to grow
a few extra pairs of hands so I can knit them all at once LOL .

I had my vernissage yesterday (Sat.) and SOLD 2 ARTWORKS already!!!
Yes, I am one happy Erin today, oh yeah baby!!! :-)

I think I posted a while ago about making these:
http://www.quiltingarts.com/qamag/treasures.html but using felt I made
from merino wool instead of from quilted fabrics. Anyway, I used
several different shades of wool and then added decorative yarns using
my Babylock Embellisher machine. Then I sewed on beads for highlights.
I sold one of these yesterday to an art teacher who teaches at the
local gymnasieskola (like a high school in U.S.).

I also sold a small quilted wallhanging that I had decorated with
beads and copper wire. I've only been showing my work for about 5
years (although I've sewn, embroidered, etc for almost 40 years) and I
feel like last year was the first year people started really *getting
it* about my work. I use traditional techniques but with a modern
twist and I think some older people found that confusing.

Shelagh,
I was ready to ask the same question, postings have been slow. Hope all
is ok with every one.

I just finished the knit afghan for the needy in Rockford, IL the local
group supports. It takes a long time to knit an afghan that has a
pattern in it. I will get out the USM or crochet the rest.

I can now finish Ava's pink socks I started over 6 weeks ago.

I have noticed our group here get very slow in the summer months, they
must have a few good summer activities. That is how the last several
summers have went.

Hugs & God bless,
Dennis & Gail

Well, I am studying Biblical Greek. I spend 2.5 hours a day in class,
and
another 3 - 6 hours doing homework and studying. I am not knitting
very
much at all. :-(

Higs,

Global weather changes abound, huh? We've been having a mixture of weather
here. Hot and dry one day, then damp and cold the next. The other day it
was really cold in the morning, then suddenly within about an hour it had
become really hot and humid... later that day just after supper we had
massive thunderstorms that looked like tornado weather. In fact yesterday
on the way home from the hospital (nothing serious, just my yearly checkup
on my Barett's Esophegus to make sure no cancer has set in) Matthew and I
passed by a field that had nine hydro poles (with power lines still
attached) laying down... very weird. No wonder people are getting sick,
they aren't sure how to dress.

Cat refuses to go out , i opened the door he looks at me with this
`YouGo if you want to get Your paws wet .!`

LOL I really had a good laugh at that. My dogs give me the same look when
I try to get them to go outside in the rain. 'Yeah, I don't think so! I'll
just stay right here inside where it's dry thank you very much!'

You certainly are a busy lady, Mirjam. )
