Becky's Profile

Hi, Lucie! I havent really had time to think about it. Between my vacation and the bathroom redo, I havent had much time for anything else. Once I start thinking about it, Im sure Ill get excited. Tell every one I said hi. When I stop learning, Id better be dead.

Its Merino/bamboo. I cant wait to see the finished yarn, too. If I keep going at the same rate, I should be done spinning in a couple days. Then a couple days of plying. Hmm, I may not get the Finn spun in time for Maryland. We shall see. Snorgle the babies for me! Beck When I stop learning, Id better be dead.

Far as I know, theyre built the same as every other sheep. There are a lot of Finn bottle babies. When I stop learning, Id better be dead.

Commented Apr 24, 2012 on I get so much done on the weekend at So many hobbies!

Thats a little more work than I want to do. Right now Im making a needle book. Its my first one so Im kind of designing it as I go. Pictures tomorrow. Beck When I stop learning, Id better be dead.

The rain came down in buckets and the thunder was continuous. I havent seen a storm that big in a while. Now I just need to clean the litterbox sludge out of the basement. The reall annoying thing is Id planned on cleaning the basement tonight or tomorrow. Now, not only do I have to wait until the floor drives, but I have to clean up the litterbox sludge that before I would have just vacuumed. Grr. Beck When I stop learning, Id better be dead.

Our temps in the mid 70s is about 3 months ahead of schedule. Its been so warm here, if we get a freeze, its going to wreak havoc with the flowers and the trees. It could kill the fruit crop. The tornado in Dexter was only a street away from my girlfriends house. They lost a few shingles and some of the siding on their house is loose but thats about it. The neighbor across the street lost his garage completely. Becky When I stop learning, Id better be dead.

I'm working on the decluttering myself and I have a date with my sister (who lives two states away) for the end of March to do a Clean Sweep on my condo. I have crap everywhere and it's a source of stress for me to come home and see everything laying around. I can't wait for the end of March. My treat to myself when we're done is a trip to IKEA for bookcases and storage boxes.

I keep making quilts and I literally have no place to put them. Im sure theres some kind of sickness in there somewhere, but I cant not make things. Being creative and the kittens are just about my only joys in life. I may have to put a quilt storage chest in the trunk of my car. Happy creating! Becky When I stop learning, Id better be dead.

Pretty and soft: what a wonderful combination. I think I'm going to have to knit a pair for myself. About what weight was your yarn?

Hi, Elizabeth! The tail is unusual for her. She usually sleeps with her nose tucked under a crooked paw. She so damned cute when she does that I have to restrain myself from going over and kissing the heck out of her. I really love cats. Becky "When I stop learning, I'd better be dead."

Yup, she's my girl. We had a vet appt. Saturday and he said she's in great shape for 18. She celebrated with a nap. Becky "When I stop learning, I'd better be dead."

No more blog?! Darn! I like reading your blog! Why did you give it up? Becky "When I stop learning, I'd better be dead."

Hi, Gayle! Three gallons!? Wow! What did you make with them? I haven't picked elderberries in a long time. Of course, I don't live in the country anymore. Becky "When I stop learning, I'd better be dead."

I've been wanting to start weaving for a while now but like you, I really don't need a new hobby. I've held it at bay so far but seeing other people's weaving is hard on my resolve. :-)

Thanks, Val. Shopping for fabric at quilt stores is a lot of fun. They have such beautiful designs. My favorite is the blue batik. Becky "When I stop learning, I'd better be dead."

I'll look into it but I think copyright only applies to written things: music, fiction, non-fiction. It's a good idea, though. Becky "When I stop learning, I'd better be dead."

Hi, Val, It'll take a few days for it to darken a bit - it's kind of orange when you first wash the henna off - and then find someone to wield the camera... should be able to get a pic on Friday. Becky "When I stop learning, I'd better be dead."

Commented Sep 9, 2009 on First, a thank you... at So many hobbies!

Wow, sounds like you've got your work cut out for you. Um, why in the world would anyone need 3 fireplaces in Louisiana? Does it ever get cold? Or even chilly?

Very pretty! I'm not sure which I like better, the yellow/orange or the pink/purple/green. Did you Navaho-ply the pink/purple/green one? I still don't know how to do that.
