I'm baaa-aaaack!

Not that I've been anywhere, but I've been somewhere, if you catch my drift! Like hanging around the Dairy Queen, sippin' Moo-lattes, in this August-in-Texas 100 degree heat. Bleah. Having lots of indoor fun, though, what with knitting, spinning, and still thinkin' about dyeing some fabric. I just need to get a round TUIT. Actually, no I don't, it's more fun to think about it than to actually do it, in this weather. Anyhoo, here's what I HAVE been doing lately: taking yarn inventory, and putting it on my palm.

Yikes! I seem to have a lot of yarn, books, patterns, mags, needles, etc., cause I am still at it after about a month!
Also, I have been hanging out with my dad a lot. (Can you say,"Let's go to lunch!"?)

We took a trip to Big D to get some Raclette cheese. Yum!

We went to the Whole Foods Market on Preston, also we went to Half-Price books on Northwest Hwy and Central, where I got the following:

I've been making a knock-off of this cute purse:

Here's a bad picture!

I'll show it again when I'm done.
Is anybody looking for a good gift for their husband?!?

We have been going to the Farmer's Market for the veggies, and straying over to the Flea Market. Now is a great time to go, because all the vendors are trying to get their stuff cleared out by the end of this month, for the FAIR! whee! I am going to enter some stuff this year, I really am!
Last Friday, at knitting, most everybody was gone to knitting camp, and Karen was one of the few (like me and Jeanne and Barbara) who did not go. She brought her granddaughter Bethany, who showed us a really cute t-shirt she got. It is covered very thickly with embroidery, which I would characterize as the "colcha" style, a typical mexican-indian craft. I may try my hand at some embroidery now...
Bethany! Look out!!

There's a spinning day on the 20th at Able Oaks Farm in Rusk, and I just can't decide if I want to go. It will be so hot, and a long drive for me, and I WANT to want to go, but somehow...this time of year. Did I mention it's hot here?

My garden is really petering out, but I will keep on with the tomatoes until the bitter end!
Well, I think that about wraps it up for now, school starts in ONE week, (sound of angels singing) and I will have a little piece of quiet!
Well when you get tired of reading blogs, what could be more fun than a little quiz?


You are Mohair.
You are a warm and fuzzy type who works well with
others, doing your share without being too
weighty. You can be stubborn and absolutely
refuse to change your position once it is set,
but that's okay since you are good at covering
up your mistakes.


What kind of yarn are you?
