my Tuesday posts are starting to get more common...
...mostly because Mondays have been a little busy.
The weekend report: I finally finished Flower Power! Yay!
Specs:
Started: 2004
Top completed: May 2004
Finished: 8/14/2010
Pattern: Yellow Brick Road by Atkinson Design
Machine quilted; made a matching pillow cover (not shown)
I'm still having problems taking pictures of quilts. The one place that I can hand them requires rearranging the furniture and the lighting isn't that great. I tried taking them outside, but I really don't have anyplace to hang the quilt. Oh, well!
I also finished spinning bobbin #1 of a beautiful merino-silk top from Redfish Dyeworks. It's gorgeous stuff! Pictures tomorrow for WIP-it Wednesday.
My friend, Loretta, and I went to Green Planet Yarn on Sunday. What a great store! There are lots of non-animal fiber yarns that are yummy, so I have some really good options if The Daughter wants me to knit or weave her something. They have a great selection of other yarns, too. The staff is very helpful and friendly. I bought 4 skeins of yarn, 2 for a woven scarf and 2 to use as inspiration for spinning thick-and-thin yarn.
So, I have this birthday coming up and it's a pretty big one. A big birthday requires a big present, right? Well, the Husband decided to see if he could get my present locally; he knew he could order it online. Well he came home with my present on Sunday:
My iPad! And I got to open it early, too! I have now downloaded 6 books that I've been waiting to buy and am happily reading away. And I love reading at night...I don't need to turn on a light or have a booklight because it's backlit. I'm still exploring apps to download, so this will keep me occupied for a long time! Love it!
