Poster Photos

7:15 am

                I spent the evening last night taking photos of the very nice girl from across the street as she pretended to do various fiber stuff, then I managed to put it all together into a poster.

             

 I hope to send it out via email and post it around town but first I want to hear from her parents to be sure they are ok with all of it. I am nervous but a bit excited about these classes. I actually would wish for an ideal of about 4 kids for each, just for the first time. 3 would be too few, especially in case someone couldn’t make it one day, 6 would be do-able, but 8 would be hard without a helper and I haven’t yet found one, mainly because if I only have a few kids I won’t need one. I’ll try calling LSSE again today. Finally heard from S re a fiber meeting. Her summers are crazy, trouble is that once fall starts I’ll be crazy. So I’ll try to arrange something for August. I do feel like summer is zooming by. I have next week, then the classes for 2 weeks, then another week and then bang it is time to start thinking about work. Of course I won’t have gotten done a ton of the stuff I wanted to. Well I ought to think about the stuff I have done. I did a bunch of spinning yesterday, I’m tackling the bag of fawn angora. Still 5 ounces to go. Then I’ll mix together some grey, and I really need to spin up some white since that is usually quite popular. I started in on listening to Juliet Naked by Nick Hornsby which I am really enjoying. I finished Turn of the Screw which was utterly weird and I am sorry but HJ was either an utterly repressed (Victorian homosexual after all) man, or had his tongue in his cheek all the while he was writing it. I suppose it could be a little of both. The thing reeks of sexual innuendo. And is creepy, not because of the supernatural aspects, but in terms of the implied sexual abuse and its impacts. Which I’m sure was at least as common in those uptight Victorian days as it is today.

                It s overcast again today, but I don’t know if we’ll get any rain. It sure did try to hard to get there yesterday, but to no avail. There is a lovely and very red cardinal sitting on the very peak of the roof singing. Forecast today is for partly cloudy (I just checked) but no rain. I will spin. And I think I will warp some things (sticks, cardboard pieces, tp rolls) for the class. And finally fix that wheel that I may need. And maybe contact A about my great idea – to bring a sheep to the first day of class. K is off that day, so he could bring it over and bring it back. Don’t know if that is allowed by UMass. It is educational after all…

                I also think I will look over my huge ToDo list from the beginning of the summer and think about what of those items I can still get to. Of course I have added to it – all the fabric I need to deal with in the basement. And now….rugs to weave. What I really need to get back to thinking about is stuff on my pile in the kitchen, finances stuff, all like that. Stuff I love to think about and deal with. And if it would ever rain and be lousy outside I could sit and enter checks and reconcile and all that. I do need to call the Insurance to see if my check for business insurance ever arrived, or if it actually did get lost/misplaced in which case I need to send another. Rabbits are in reasonably good shape, Bathsheba needs a pluck. I’m glad she was in full coat for the photo I took yesterday, so many of the others look ratty having just been plucked/cleaned up. Dylan probably needs it too. Geneviève brought home a lovely melon and watermelon yesterday, I think I will make fruit salad for bfast. I need to make more yogurt. The last half gallon of milk went bad, I need to get some and start the yogurt right away.
