camera leads number three

oh how funny....wrote 2 long posts about not being able to find my camera leads yesterday and niether showed. Today I found the leads....in the dryer omg but they work.....grateful for blessings.

I only took 2 pics of dye day....I got caught up in the moments and forgot.....so here they are:

We dyed 10 K of bfl and 5 K of kid mohair.

and got it all done in prep for the art yarn 2 day workshop I am teaching next weekend. I promise to take interesting pics of that one!

I have posted the ad for the carder and picker in a few spots on ravelry and there has been several requests for more pics of the picker....so here it is.

The pair are valued at 60 thousand and I am considering all reasonable offers. I can help with arranging shipping and can have it crated if desired....these costs are the responsibliy of the buyer. I can also help with brokering it into the States as I have had lots of experience shipping machinery.

I cant say enough good things about these machines they are wonderful. They are the last big machines made by patrick green and have incredible workmanship. This is a wonderful chance for someone and it is time for me to move on.

more staff

This is Phoebe. She is a little care worn and shows the footprints of past projects....many many projects. She was a gift from a man whose mother was a weaver and she came with an unfinished runner which has recently been finished and gifted back to said man.

She is basic and clunky and a perfect springboard for the weaving that is in my head. This loom has so much positive energy, enouraging me, prompting me, I can hear her calling me away from the always overwhelming chores. She tells me I must do the Cap College Fibre Arts Program so i am dutifully applying today.

need a peptalk

Slow start to the morning. I am listing stuff on etsy and encouraging myself to get it together enough to go the info session at Cap College for the textile program......thinking i really want to do this, wondering if I have the brain power anymore.
Having wierd kind of flashbacks... I went to CC for a year after high school, way way back in 1977. Also my mom took a creative writing course there just before she died of breast cancer and Dad set up a scholarship in her memory........weird emotional twangs connected to this.

still it would be cool wouldnt it.....i deserve it......dont i? I think it requires getting dressed, and finding where youngest child is with my car.

The Staff continued.....

Her name is Natasha after the Russian nurse at the cancer clinic....scary on the outside but really really efficient at her job and moves at the speed of light. This girl is all about business. She was a find from the auction fairy and I have great plans for her.
